The speaker compensation was actually way too conservative, so it just got updated.
The estimated power draw was way off in a good way - I just ran the speakers with various music at about 75% sound level until the (fully charged) battery died - just over 8hrs!!
Can I buy one of these?
There is a gauge on the website ( https://pocketmidi.com ) where you can add your vote to help me know if there is enough demand for another batch.
I have just released v1.5.0 of the firmware/software.
Besides some UX tweaks, the chord mode now has options to cover 3 octaves, and strum mode is now bipolar so you can strum up or down the chord over 1, 2, or 3 octaves.
Also, I’ve been adding little (?) explainers throughout the web app to help explain most of the features. I’m guessing I’ll probably need to make a user guide eventually though, what do y’all think?
v1.6.0 is now live. There are some UX/UI changes and many stability & workflow updates. One being the send/upload button is up top and activates when anything is changed, and all the settings will sync periodically as well.
But the biggest change is the new KB1 Flash Tools site which is covered in the readme quick-start section, here…
And linked here…
This new flash tool is made specifically for the KB1, and preserves all settings and battery level data in between firmware updates. The firmware versions are served up on a list so there is now no need to download, and you can even easily downgrade if you want. Included are a couple other tools to see your stats or open a serial monitor to see the midi data realtime.
For those brave souls that have been trying out the new battery level estimator; if you lost data in between updates, there is now a hidden way to manually set it back without having to wait 5 hrs to re-calibrate. This is only if you have already calibrated and know you had a certain level, or for testing (otherwise your level will be wrong) .
Clicking 5 times on the large battery icon will give you the secret settings window.
