What’s the idea?
The Linnstrument had a very cool mode, you send some MIDI and can basically take over the display and capture input.
This allows for 'custom firmware' without putting the device at risk.
See https://github.com/rogerlinndesign/linnstrument-firmware/blob/master/user_firmware_mode.txt
Example use cases:
- custom input modes
- custom visualizations
- Art installation uses
- Paint program
- games
See https://youtu.be/nWTdQqmKKIM and https://youtu.be/lptvRXBIVwg and https://youtu.be/_4yssgU8bE0 as examples on the Linnstrument implemented in this manner.
LED(x,y, color)
Maybe a message box command?
Send MIDI for button presses in the grid and maybe continuous CC on pots?
I understand this would be probably not high priority, but it allows other developers to contribute things etc
Where would it go?
Ideally it could be enabled via a MIDI message so extensions could turn it on or off. Maybe settings could enable the functionality as well.
Any details or mockups?
See Linnstrument video I posted above for concept in operation.
