great news - good luck with it!

i'm looking forward to finding out whether velocity can be assigned to variables such as cutoff or attack etc...

Amos, the velocity to filter and amplitude is brilliant. Thank you.

I agree about velocity assignment to as many parameters as possible. Also someone brought up the idea of release velocity being applied - I hope that's possible too. As much control as can be possibly assigned to one foot I strongly support.

I hope you're tempted to expand velocity to other parameters as much as possible. For my specific circumstance playing a saxophone while standing leaves one only foot to control the Taurus, so that one foot has to have as much performance flexibility as possible.

Yes Congrats indeed. They need to hire more people to do your job and let you be their supervisor.

I don't think it's working for them too well to have only one guy to be responsible for all you are responsible for, hence the "wheres my fix" complaints.

work on Taurus 3 firmware continues. It's all coming together now; there is a huge amount of work you won't be able to see, but the result is a more stable system that uses less code space. I am going through the list of all old and new bugs, trying to make sure they are all fixed. There are a few feature requests from this thread which I have not had time to implement, but they're all going on a list for future development. The new features introduced in the v1.2 beta-version are all working now.

Thanks for your patience; I'll post again with more news as it happens :)

yep, velocity to res is in there. ;)

I will definitely provide complete documentation of all features and changes with the final release.
Cheers,
