Description
The author's lab notebook, made public. Per the README, seven builds have run on a real unit: a stock rebuild, a flanger in place of the chorus, a tape delay in place of the stock delay, a hook-bus core with a test MIDI mod, and a parameter table moved to free memory with room for 63 more knobs. The roadmap includes a three-band master compressor and the arpeggiator on MIDI tracks. tools/brickcheck runs 12 checks that every candidate image must pass before flashing; recovery from the STARTUP menu over DIN MIDI was tested on the unit. Builds are made locally; no images are distributed.
