Well,

I am still working on the new schaltwerk features... and I am getting
somewhere now.
I have gone through about 20,000 of the 32,000 lines of ASM that make up the
Schaltwerk OS and I've mapped out all the functions, and the internal and
external memory.

I have successfully compiled a modified version that does some cool stuff,
and other new features should be easy once I get everything worked out...
here is where I'm heading (from one of my previous posts to DH):

MIDI control (using track channel) of note ON/OFF, note value via MIDI
control change messages.

Main note value changed to a 'TRANSPOSE' feature, normally set at zero,
that can be set plus or minus. Each individual step, will have a
positive note setting from C0. When transposed, notes that are at the
maximum or minimum are truncated.

Note TIE function. This will tell the previous note that the
corresponding NOTE OFF should be sent AFTER this step has sent NOTE ON.
If the previous note is the same note number, then it will not send the
previous NOTE OFF at all. This allows for long notes, or legato notes
(for slides).

Save MIDI settings so they are recalled after power cycle.

Maybe some sort of option to internally feed MIDI out 2 to MIDI in 2
(excluding MIDI sync).

Track and pattern ROTATE function.

AUTO-ROTATE may be cool.

AUTOSAVE function, will save the current pattern automatically whenever
a pattern switches.

Track clipboard, can cut and paste individual tracks across patterns.

Set multiple note TIE automatically by pressing two step buttons at
once, sets TIE automatically for all steps in between, resetting the
note number to match the starting step.

Maybe have the selected track change with a step when it is pressed, so
changing
the note value/velocity is easier.

Change the order of the Run Modes.

I have more info about it at my Schaltwerk site:
