Here are a few of the things we&#8217;ve been doing lately:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> I added a really nice feature that we&#8217;re calling &#8220;voice trigger indicator&#8221; &#8230; essentially what it does is flash the voice select LEDs as your sequence is running to indicate to you when each of the 8 channels is triggering.  It&#8217;s easier to show than to tell, so I&#8217;ll get to work on a video for that asap.<\/li>\n<li>Steppa now has a &#8220;current beat&#8221; set of indicator LEDs on the front interface.  This was added so you can get an idea of where you are timing-wise if you&#8217;re doing stuff on your computer (instead of looking at the hardware, which will give you a *really* good idea of that all the time \ud83d\ude42 )<\/li>\n<li>There&#8217;s been a bunch of minor features added to Steppa that mostly facilitate being able to pick up sequence data from within Max5.  If you&#8217;re a max user, you can do all kinds of crazy stuff with the sequence as it&#8217;s running.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>More good news while we&#8217;re talking about good news:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>I have applied to exhibit at the <a href=\"http:\/\/makerfaire.com\">Bay Area Maker Faire<\/a>.  We&#8217;re considering applying for Detroit and New York too, so if you want us to apply for those, leave a comment!<\/li>\n<li>The arduino mega firmware is now open source. There are a bunch of things you would need to do in order to get started and I&#8217;ll highlight those in another post soon.  I&#8217;ll update the license to indicate my intentions, but in a nutshell you&#8217;re free to download, analyze, improve, or modify the source, as long as you don&#8217;t resell it and you keep the original attribution intact with the code.
