I never thought a firmware would take me this long to program

Hi all!

I released the Midynamite in August of last year. Back then, it had 3 effects: MIDI Tempo, Modify, and Transpose. The project took me 8 months, almost full-time, in which I learned quite a bit about C, STM microcontrollers, and microcontrollers in general.

My goal is for the pedal to have dozens of effects, so I came back to it in January of this year. After 3 long months, I can finally announce the release of Firmware 2.0 of the Romagnetics Midynamite. As always, the firmware is open source and available on GitHub.

Added effects:

MIDI Split with Bus 1, Bus 2, Dry and Wet send

Arpeggiator: A quick look at the picture will tell you which synth was my main inspiration

MIDI Dispatch: This was a request when I released version 1. I was happy to add it!

I didn't think development would take this long. The great thing about having more effects is how they interact, but it's also a bad thing, because testing each interaction made me want to add more functionalities. This is how I ended up adding MIDI split to the effects because I wanted to have each hand routed to different effects.

In the end, I think that the upgrade looks fine, I'll take a small break from guitar building for this spring!

I'll probably wait until the end of the year for version 3, but believe me, the update will be huge (as in 8 tracks polyphonic huge...)
