Description
The first take sets the loop length, and holding the encoder punches in an overdub that can latch. Each of heads A to D has its own level, speed (reverse below centre), start, window length, direction and pan. Reverbs are Plate, Shimmer, Sub, Backwards, Ghost and Freeze. Dub fade, age and wow settings give a running tape-loop character. The repository includes a Mac simulation script for testing the audio code.
Install notes
Needs the Daisy bootloader v6.4 installed first. Flash the release .bin to the QSPI address 0x90040000 with dfu-util; the release notes warn not to write it to internal flash at 0x08000000, which would overwrite the bootloader.
