Description
The DSP is vendored from the open-source pichenettes/eurorack tree (and Parasites for Warps) with minimal changes, and a shim maps each module's controls onto the Lab's six pots, three buttons and ten jacks. Every firmware has the same SD-card firmware picker, autosaves its panel to the card after a change, and shows last session's CPU peak at boot. Elements needs an extra samples file on the card for its exciters. Both releases are marked pre-release and had not been run on a module at release.
Install notes
Copy the .bin files into /alchemy on the Lab's SD card, plus elements.smp into /mi for Elements, then switch firmware from the Settings page. The README says nothing has been flashed or heard on hardware yet.
