Teensyboy 1.2.3

Arduinoboy Firmware for Teensy 2.0

The Arduinoboy code has been modified to work on a Teensy using USBMidi.

The only differences between Arduinoboy and Teensyboy are different pin input and output and all midi code has been changed to using usb midi instead of clasic serial midi. For more informations please visit the blog at noizeinabox.blogspot.com/2012/12/teensyboy.html.

LSDJ MIDIOUT Mode

Each of the 4 gameboy channels send MIDI data on 4 midi channels by the use of effects commands. This requires a special version of LSDJ, which can be found on the LSDJ site.

• Nxx - Sends a MIDI Note - Absolute to the value placed in the effect. N00 sends note off, N01-N6F send midi notes 1 to 112.
• Qxx - Sends a MIDI Note relative to the current channel's pitch. The effect value is a offset. so Q0C in PU1 would send a note 1 octave higher than what PU1 is currently playing. This is useful as a table command to track midi notes as normal notes in the sequencer.
• Xxx - Sends a MIDI CC - By default in Arduinoboy the high nibble selects a CC#, and the low nibble sends a value 0-F to 0-127. This can be changed to allow just 1 midi CC with a range of 00-6F, or 7 CCs with scaled or unscaled values.
• Yxx - Sends a program/patch/preset change.

By default each channel of LSDJ is mapped to midi channels 1-4. For example note commands from PU1 will be sent to midi channel 1.
