This firmware release finally brings pedal support to the Striso board!
With that also comes an extra control for the builtin synth: sustain/decay time, which can also be set with [settings] + Ab1 or by sending CC64 (continuous).
By default the jack autodetects what is plugged in. It detect the following possibilities:
- Cyan blink: MIDI out (TRS Type A)
- Yellow blink: Expression pedal, TRS/wiper-on-tip type
- Pink blink: Single/double switch pedal. Triple switch support will be added later.
- Red blinking: Error, either wrong type MIDI or expression pedal or other issue. Unplug to reset.
If autodetection doesn't work well for some reason the connection can be explicitly configured in a preset.
Additionally the jack can be used as line-in to mix other audio (for example a second Striso board) with the audio output. For this you can make a preset.
For now the pedal functions are fixed:
- Expresssion pedal controls the sustain/decay time.
- Switch pedal 1/Sustain (tip signal) toggles sustain between 32 and 96.
- Switch pedal 2 (ring signal) controls the glissando mode.
In addition three user feature requests are implemented, see below for all changes.
Feedback about if the jack detection and pedal functions works well is very welcome!
To update your Striso board, connect the USB cable with the settings (square) button pressed, now it should attach as a USB drive. To update the firmware just copy the attached .uf2 file to this drive, after which the device applies the update and resets.
