Spent a few hours running a last bunch of tests on the latest Braids firmware (v1.7) before sending it to the factory for being programmed on a freshly baked batch of 500 modules!
Spent a few hours with Edges to hunt for bugs. The upcoming batch will have an audio firmware update procedure, just in case. Golden firmware/bootloader files ready!
Received and tested a small batch of +5V-free Edges.
Received and tested the first half of a batch of 250 5V Volts power adapters.
Received a shipment of Peaks, did random QA checks, started shipping to dealers.
Researched several ideas centered around formant processing for Warps easter egg. After two days, the results were still glitchy under heavy modulations and worked on a fairly limited range of input material, so I decided to put this bit of code to rest for now.
Implemented easter egg take #2 for Warps. Took three hours to get a proof of concept, instant fun, worthy of a stand-alone module. Keeper!
Dug deeper into one ingredient used in Warps’ easter egg. Rather than re-using the same implementation as everybody else, redid the maths from scratch and came up with something that had better performance and still fit my computational budget.
Did yet another pass of polishing for Warps – a few more code optimizations, added the Yahtzee secret handshake for enabling the easter egg…
Prepared a big shipment of 150kg of pots, ribbon cables, jacks, connectors, knobs for Q2 module production.
