a firmware mod to add support for grid 256 to whitewhale eurorack version. this mod wasn’t nearly as straight forward as meadowphysics since it required some changes to the user interface. i tried to carefully consider different options, and i hope this version will provide good usability - i would love to hear ideas on how it can be improved though!
here is how it’s different from the 128 version:
- the bottom part always displays either CV curves or CV map for CV A and CV B, unless you’re on presets or series page
- you can edit both CVs simultaneously - this includes input with the param knob and live input! you can even use the param knob while having different steps selected on A and B
- since you can edit CVs at any time rows 4-8 are not used for that anymore. instead they will display either probability or CV map preset, if the chosen CV is in the CV map mode [you can still switch to probability when on CV map preset page by pressing alt+mutes]
- series page will extend to all rows now
when editing in CV map mode the current step is shared between A and B - is there a great benefit for being able to edit them independently? that’s just the current step selection, you can still select scale tones independently.
there are many possible submodes when using white whale, which makes it time consuming to test all the possible variations, so please consider this a beta version, and i will greatly appreciate help with testing / bug reporting. the usual reminder, when you flash it will remove your presets.
