This is MicroDexed with TFT Touch Display, graphic UI and sequencer
This build requires a Teensy 4.1, PCM5102A Audio Board, 320x240 ILI9341 SPI Display with Capacitive Touchscreen and a PSRAM Chip for custom samples.
Compared to the first generation, MicroDexed-touch offers a lot of new features/improvements:
- "Large" Graphical Interface, view and edit multiple Parameters in one Screen
- Use external MIDI gear over USB or Mini TRS Jacks (DIN MIDI with adaptor) from 2 x 16 MIDI Channels in the Sequencer
- Map MIDI CC to external MIDI Devices to control Input/Parameters
- Global plate reverb, 2 global delay effects (500ms, with added PSRAM chip 60 seconds or even more)
- Loading, playing and editing multi-sampled instruments or layered instruments in a "live" mode or played by the sequencer. Auto detection sample zones but also can be edited manually. This is early work in progress and currently not stable when using pitch shifting and polyphony
- 2 instances of "Virtual Analog" Monosynths with one OSC, PWM, Multimode Filter and Noise. A lot of useful new sound possibilities.
- 8 voice polyphonic Oscillator, based on the code of Mutable Instruments - Braids. No wavetables but added individual envelopes and multimode filters for all voices
- Much improved Sequencer with 8 Tracks, 16 Step Patterns, 16 Step Pattern Chains, up to 16384 Song Steps, Arpeggiator with 1/8 - 1/64 Steps, Arp Patterns including Euclidean settings, Pitched Drum- and Instrument Sample playback
- The sequencer can also play chords of various types, stacked up to 7 notes, using only a single sequencer track
- In addition to the chain based Sequencer there is second sequencing tool: LIVE SEQUENCER
- LIVE SEQUENCER offers 12 tracks for recording up to 4 patterns each, including a Song mode with pattern muting
- Both sequencers do work together and are fully synced
- Global Mixer View with all Channels
- Multiband Master Compressor with 4 bands
- Sample Management from SD-CARD and PSRAM, samples can be loaded from SD-CARD to PSRAM during runtime.
- Touch Mute Matrix for live / realtime performance
- Tracker View (Editor) - work in progress
- Track Print/Recording - work in progress
- Remote control in web-based 1:1 UI with added features (filemanager,filetransfer, screenshots etc.) Work in progress - connected to PC via Teensy MicroUSB Connector
