Description
Starts from Benisphere and gathers applets from other developers; the stock o_C apps are included but do not all fit in one image, so releases ship pre-built selections. The Teensy 4.1 / ORN8 builds add audio DSP applets and USB MIDI plus audio on the device port (variant A), a WavRec build (B) and an MTP disk build with legacy apps (X). Teensy 3.2 builds can be requested as custom builds. Commercial variants listed as supported include After Later Audio Ornate Criminal, Plum Audio OCP X (v1.x only), CalSynth XLOC2 and RÖMHOLD T4.1. v2.x is the main line; the original phazerville branch was backported as v1.14 for Teensy 3.2 only.
Install notes
Download a release hex from GitHub and follow the Installation page on firmware.phazerville.com. Updating from older versions can reset saved settings; calibration is unaffected.
