I struggled in the home stretch to complete the EWC_Soother, so to make it better, I spent a session outlining the final tasks to get them into perspective. I tested the features and documented the malfunctioning ones.
My task list started with the code that can make any octave on a keyboard play on a different channel. This way, I can have adjacent keys playing different instruments. I could sustain notes on an organ and noodle a jazz piano next to it. This only applied to chips and programs that recognized different channels.
I added code to change instruments on any channel because simple instruments only transmit on channel 0. I can already change which channel an octave uses, but if I could not change the instrument, the versatility of the synths I used would be lost.
I finished programming. There were a few minor issues, like a spelling error, and two things I could not replicate. The final task was Bluetooth, and I got it working, but only on an iPhone.
I revised and cut a new faceplate. There is one large encoder wheel instead of two small ones, the MIDI ports are adjacent, and the power switch is near the edge. I kept cutting the back plate incorrectly but am ready to move the components over.
Sarah and I talked about Chernobyl. We loved how well it balanced scientific and historical accuracy with an enjoyable story. Sarah listed the most notable inaccuracies, all of which had reasonable justifications.
The rest of the summary posts have been arranged by date.
