I’m interested in taking on writing a custom octatrack FW for the LP Pro. I have some experience programming cortex with C bootloaders so this should be a doddle, if a bit time consuming.
Has anyone been working on something similar? I can’t see any OT-specific github forks or anything from googling around, but perhaps someone here knows more.
What would you like to see? Keeping in mind the MIDI messages the OT will receive, and the fact that there is no permanent storage on the LP Pro.
Things I’m thinking of implementing:
Session: Combination of the trig button modes: 1-16 mutes, 1-16 track trigs, volume control
Note: rough clone of novation’s note mode. Chromatic trigs for tracks, 64 slice mode for tracks, chromatic entry for midi auto channel, highlights for selectable root note, scales. Assignable velocity/pressure > param for tracks. Momentary/toggle for notes.
Device: Every parameter on grid for tracks. push to assign value. 8-button ‘fader’ for coarse value, some combination for finer resolution.
User: Basic performance-focused sequencer. Have to see what I can squeeze into the memory, but hopefully some kind of motion recorder to quickly have the LP do midi param sweeps. Notes/velocity/pressure to auto channel.
Other things: dedicated pages for 8xVolume, 8xPan “faders”, keep Novation’s velocity > fade time, single button for sending param dump request to OT.
