Suggestions for further improving the firmware

[midifidler]

Can anyone with knowledgeable insight tell me if the VCI-100 hardware is capable of 14bit MIDI?

Im excited to see the direction the VCI-100 will take with these new changes. but for some reason I cant see the 14bit MIDI out put happening.

Good question - the H8/3052 only has a 10 bit resoulution on its A/D converters. However it only has 10 A/D inputs so the pots & faders must be multiplexed, so possibly an external A/D convertor (perhaps with higher resolution) is being used. But probably not.

10 bit compared to 7 is still 8 times the resolution though

What does this mean for us lay men?

erm - I doubt it will have true 14 bit resolution on the faders as the microcontroller the VCI is based around only has 10 bit capability.

I would expect the firmware will take the reading, multiply it by 16 and send that as a 14 bit message.

i would appreciate the support of a 4 band eq mapping.
(a kill switch on the 1.3 "filter" (eq low) knob would do it)

10bit means 1023 steps vs the 128 steps the unit currently is sending over midi - that is a big improvement !

Iv got a good suggestion for further improving the firmware!

............. release it.

any news on future firmware updates?
