I have Dexed installed on my PC, and seconds after reading @MrBroccoliās post and clicking the link, I have several new DX cartridges to explore. Very cool, thanks MRBroccoli!

Hello Chrisā¦
Iām surprised by the place of the encodersā¦ Never thought about placing them on any side, and have the display on topā¦
Is it comfortable to use ?
Sure, thereās no risk that your hand would hide the screen while tweaking parameters or selecting a presetā¦
anyway, your boxing is rather uniqueā¦ Thanx a lot for showingā¦
The placing of the encoders on the side was more for convenience of building rather than ergonomics in use. Whilst I am debugging the hardware & flashing the software it is useful to take off the lid to access the electronics/press the reset button. With encoders on the side they are not disturbed by removing the lid - less chance of wires becoming unplugged. When I am fully happy, it will go into a nice slope fronted box but I need to solve the non functioning usb/midi problem first.
Yers, I understandā¦ but still, is it comfortable ? Not much ? not at all ?
And btw, I was bored to open my microDexed each time I wanted to upload the new code that Holger had just sent me, so I browsed the net to find the pin chart of Teensy 3.6, and connected the 2 Program pins to an external button on the back of the caseā¦
Now, I can enter the āflashā mode without opening the caseā¦
As you are using 4.0, I think, no need that I look to the images I made at the time, you will find the 2 pins (prog and GND) on any Tennsy 4.0 pin layout schematicā¦ They are close to each other, and named āProgramā and āGNDāā¦ Thereās no mistery in this worldā¦
Yes, it is comfortable to use - more natural than a horizontal control surface. However, I still think that a sloped front with the encoders and display at right angles to the view line would always be best.
I will look at the Program pins to see if they can be brought to the outside of the case when I rebuild it into a new housing.
Hi Holger,
I now have midi over USB working. The change I made was in config.h. The original code for a Teensy 4 was:-
276 #if defined(IMXRT1062) //Teensy-4.0
277 #undef MIDI_DEVICE_USB
278 #define MAX_NOTES 16
279 #define TEENSY4
280 #endif
I just commented out line 277 and it now works. Iām not sure what this original line was for so I hope there are no undesirable side-effects.
Hi Chris,
aaaah, right! This was undefined due to problems with the (old) TeensyDuino software for T_4.x, which had no support for USB-MIDI.
I will delete this line for the next release.
Regards, Holger
I love microDexedā¦ Itās getting better and better each dayā¦
On this track, only one instance is used, and no extra-processing has been done : this is 100% microDexed, inluding the effects (Freeverb Delay and Reverb)ā¦
āRhod Itā is a personnal presetā¦ āPaquitoā is a personal compositionā¦
Hope youāll enjoy itā¦

I wish I could make you hear Eddy Louiss beautiful sounds, when he was passing his B3 through his vocoderā¦ He usually did it live, and Iām not sure he ever used it on a recordā¦
And unfortunately, there are no recordings on Youtubeā¦
This is my own approach, using no vocoder, but taking adavntage of keyboard sensitivity to add some expression, and using microDexedās built in Chorus, Delay and Reverbā¦
No extra processing, the goal is to make you hear microDexed nudeā¦ (and so sexy)ā¦
Have a nice dayā¦

Hi Holger, Iām about to get back to finishing up the uDexed kit I purchased from you, and in the meantime I picked up a Teensy 4.0 and 4.1. and would like to use one of them instead of the version the kit was for. Any suggestions before I get to work on it again?
Thanks, Leonard
Hi Leonard,
The current board is designed for the audio board Rev C. T_4.x needs Rev D due to a different I2S pin mapping. It wonāt work out-of-the-box. I am planning to create an adapter PCB for my board which should be inserted between Teensy and board.
Alternatively it may work when placing the Rev D audio shield not on the main PCB but on top of the T_4.1.
Regards, Holger
Hi @all,
MicroDexed-1.0.0 is now ready and just commited/merged into the master branch. I hope there are no bugs left anymoreā¦ the user manual and the build manual are currently in the state of rewriting.
For information how to create a new firmware take a look at the wiki.
Have fun, Holger
[EDIT]: Currently the firmware allows audio-daisy-chaining / audio-thru, so you can add a synth (e.g. Zynthian) before MicroDexed and connect the output of MicroDexed to your PA. Both will be heared 
. Volumes have to be changed on the devices itself - no need for a mixer!

Hi Holger,
Just compiled & installed version 1.0.0 on my Tupperware MicroDexed - fantastic job. The tonal range is brilliant - from very low beefy bass to crustal clear highs - love it. My next job is to find a decent box to build it into together with a 20 x 4 display that I have already tried with it.
Well done
Chris

That:s useful, I guessā¦
On the settings screens (effects, for example), you can see all of the parameters that can be set on one screen instead of having to scroll off the bottom of the 2 lines to see what else is down there! Doesnāt really add a lot, but it looks nicer.

I seeā¦ it helps having a mental image of the structure of the menuā¦ Okā¦
Btwā¦ @C0d3manā¦ concerning the info menu : it is displaying microDexed versionā¦ I would suggest that it would be divided on 2 submenus : 1) MD version, and 2) a webpage URL (though I guess it will not be easy to display it on a 2x16 screen)ā¦
More info on
parasiTstudio.de
Or if you can use a scrolling functionā¦
