Description
Reads an official Bitbox Micro 2.3.4 image, refuses anything else, and writes a patched image whose splash reads "community fw". Per-pad parameters and the five compressor controls become MIDI CCs, and a master EQ and filter with ten algorithms is added. The 2.3.8-mod release adds three settings on the module: Flip UI for upside-down mounting, Clk Loss to hold the last tempo when a clock stops, and a ProgChange option that ignores repeats of the loaded preset. The author states it is unofficial and that 1010music neither wrote nor endorses it, and asks that support requests not go to 1010music.
Install notes
Download the stock 2.3.4 image (MICRO234.zip) from 1010music yourself, run patch_micro.py on its MICRO.BIN, and copy the result to the microSD card. Never share a patched image. The README says the bootloader is not touched, so the module cannot be bricked, and flashing stock back before service is advised.
