MeeBlip README - 2011.12.01

MeeBlip, the hackable digital synthesizer lives at meeblip.com

The Meeblip project is split into three repositories:

meeblip-synth: Source code and hex files for programming all Meeblips meeblip-circuits: Schematics and board layout meeblip-design: Panel overlay artwork and dimensional drawings

Within meeblip-synth, you'll find files for three different types of Meeblip:

1. meeblip-se: Source code and firmware for Version 1 hardware (no save/load/midi buttons). This build does not include patch memories and uses the MIDI DIP switch on the front panel to set the MIDI IN channel.

2. meeblip-se-v2: Source code and firmware for Version 2 hardware. This build includes 16 patch memories and programmable MIDI channel select (channels 1-15, plus omni mode if you select Ch 16). Patches are saved/loaded by tapping the save/load button and releasing. The power LED will blink. flip up/down the appropriate patch switch to save/load. The power LED will stop blinking. MIDI channel select works in the same manner. The save/load process will time out about 5 seconds after pressing the button if you don't select a patch, and the LED will stop blinking.

3. meeblip-micro: Source code and firmware for the micro board. This build includes 8 optional analog inputs and 8 digital "on/off" switches. It automatically loads Patch 0 from eeprom.

Other files in meeblip-synth:

make-se: Batch file for avrdude that loads the se firmware, sets the microcontroller's internal fuses and loads a default eeprom bank for Version 1 hardware. meeblip1hardware.eep contains default knob settings to avoid powering up with a blank patch. These are retained in eeprom.

make-se: Same for V2 hardware. Loads patches into eeprom from meeblip.eep

make-micro: Samve for micro hardware. Loads patches into eeprom from meeblip.eep
