Babu Frik v0.2 (beta2)
Pre-release
Second beta version of Babu Frik (beta2, v0.2). This release fixes many bugs and adds new functionality with respect to beta1. KIJIMI is now fully controllable from Babu Frik and the initial set of features is nearly complete. Read the notes below to get a better idea of what you can expect. Please use the issues section to report any bugs or make feature suggestions.
Known issues/limitations
- Babu Frik requires at least KIJIMI firmware 1.3.15 for all features to function properly. This firmware version might not yet be publicly available but it should be very soon.
- KIJIMI firmware 1.3.x patches are 262 bytes long, while 1.2.x patches are 134 bytes long. This means that if you load 1.2.x bank files to Babu Frik you'll get unexpected results with patches not sounding correctly. Babu Frik release v.1.0 will automatically detect patch format and act accordingly.
Roadmap
-
Babu Frik v1.0 will be released in the next weeks once I find time to add a couple more features I have in mind and I can do some more testing (and get feedback from testers).
-
After v1.0, I plan to make more releases that include new features like finer control of the randomization function and the timbre space generation as well as extra stuff that you might suggest :)
