Looking forward to this one! :) Especially the improved tap tempo will possibly be a game changer for when you want to play along a live drummer with an arpeggiator or sequencer running. Currently, it is only possible to match the tempo, but if I understand it right, the improved tap tempo would catch up to stay in sync as well.

Hi,

I do know there’s no ETA at the moment, but i’m wondering : what’s the eta ? :mrgreen:

No, I get it, there’s other updates before that one, unfortunately for me, I was counting a bit too much on the presets feature and have been waiting for it to really use my midronome. If you say it might take months, I’m willing to wait, but if it’s years, it’s simply a great piece of gear that I’d have to sell until then.

Thanks Simon !

Hi Max :)

That's fair, definitely a few months, not years.

Difficult and complex features are the ones that take time, for example the one that is coming with Firmware 3.0.

Once this is out I will start working on Firmware 4.0, and its difficult feature is the improved tap tempo, which is the only one that could take time. But because of your comment, I'll make sure to release the tempo presets (which is a much simpler feature to implement), either with version 4.0 if the improved tap tempo is done in a few weeks, or as a separate version 3.1 ;)

Cheers
Simon

+1 I would appreciate that as well.

Not sure how high of a demand this is. Definitely valuable but maybe it is helpful think to break this out into a release 4.5.

Few months later, how is it going Simon ? Challenges along the way ?

Was wondering if there is now either an update with the presets or a 3.1 update as you mentioned would maybe be possible.

Thanks again ! Awesome job you do !

I know, there has been many delays. Major causes are U-SYNC for Windows and the new batch which is not only a batch but a new revision of everything including new branding ("Nome II"...), so lots to do there.

Plan is to get started on Firmware 4.0 as soon as the new batch is ready :)

Well an ETA for start of FW 4.0 dev should be middle of November, maybe a bit before.

Then for release I am sorry, I cannot give an ETA until I've started working on the smart tap tempo as it might be a bit of a challenge.
The other features should go quite fast and I'll do them first. If the tap tempo feature start taking too much time, I might release the others first as FW 3.5 or something like that :)
