WaveBoy 0.58 Firmware Released!

While I didn’t quite get all the features I wanted, given some of the refactoring, I felt like it was a good time to cut a release. The changes include:

  • Sample Streaming from SD (no more 64k limit)
  • Sample-Rate Reducer (“Skips”)
  • Free-running LFO Step Mode, with optional Gate/CV control

There have also been some internal changes and a few potential compatibility changes, though these should be minor. The Wave mode no longer has alt-audio configuration options. Instead those have been moved to a new Step output menu (which is also where the LFO can be enabled and configured).

The sample metadata files now have an additional Skip setting. This will automatically get added to the files on save for existing patch sets.

I am already beginning work on 0.59. I would like to start work on the realtime audio tests, which include a real-time bit/sample-crusher and an envelope follower. So stay tuned for those!

Until then, Happy Synthing!
