Metronome possible?

Post by dl9sec »

Hi all,

i asked myself, if it could be possible to code a metronome program for the FV-1.

As far as i know the classic mechanical metronomes can do 40 up to about 200 beats per minute, which means periods of 1.5s down to 300ms.

I am not very familiar programming the ASM for the FV-1. Is there enough memory to generate a period of 1.5s and what could be the best way to generate a "click"-sound?

Thanks for your advice in advance.

Regards, Sten

Should be simple, just set up a counter, when it hits 0 output a pulse as the sound, reset the counter. Doesn't rely on sample memory at all.
