As for micro-tuning on the module, I haven't made a final decision yet, but that item is on the 'nice to have' list -- and asking for it helps! Cheers, Jim |

At NAMM, I reported a general timeframe of "Summer 2017" and "around $700" for the price. Those are both estimates -- with hardware there is a whole new set of variables to deal with. The release timeframe depends primarily on how quickly I can finalize the hardware, finish the software, and complete a proper test cycle. The final price depends primarily on the final component costs -- something I am working to minimize, but until I get a final quote on "boards and parts" for the next round of hardware revisions, I will not know for sure. A couple hardware changes to note: - I'm dropping the "MIDI In" 3.5 mm jack for a USB A jack --- the latter is more flexible, and even a touch cheaper (no need to give you an adapter cable) -- but more work on the software side for the driver and device testing. - I'm dropping one of the 4 "run/clock" jacks, there will now be 3: Run, Clock, Reset -- each of which will be switchable between input and output and by function. For instance you could have run & clock as inputs for sync, but reset as an output. That setup is a bit more flexible, and helps make room for the USB A jack. Also: there are 8 trigger outputs on the back, whose functions will be assignable as well... While I'm at it, a quick software update: - USB MIDI and "Mass Storage" mode are working for the USB B jack on the current prototype. - The SD card is working well. In "normal" working mode, the SD card will be used for loading/saving preset banks. There will be a "disk" mode whereby connecting the unit via USB to a computer will mount the SD Card as a mass storage device on your computer for backing up preset banks, loading firmware updates, etc. - I've got custom fonts working for the OLED displays, so a much improved UI layout is coming soon. Cheers, Jim |

Hi Jim,
You mentioned 8 trigger outputs on the back. Presumably you have some expander modules planned to bring these out to the front. DIY-able ? Do you plan to include a DrumSeq-type part within Vector's firmware ? |

I don't have a final schematic yet, but the full expander will include more CV as well. Quote:

Excellent. That's a few more boxes ticked. :-)

Anyways, glad for more info on the Vector. I've been refreshing this page regularly ![]() |

This would definitely be cool when using Vector without access to a computer, though when used as a controller for Numerology, I'm wondering if there will be 2-way control. I.e. would a Launchpad connected to one's Mac (and Numerology) be able to control the Vector ? Last edited by somalenny; 06-05-2017 at 06:55 AM. |

Agreed. This would be a killer setup and much more affordable than a Monome grid which I was currently considering to pair with a Teletype/Ansible.
