What I want is to be able to read the complete file name of all the files in the SD card, then parse the string to do certain actions based on it. In the tsunami serial control library there's isn't any function to get the full filename (only the track number). thoughts ? thank you</p>

The new unified Configurator includes a tab for remote control functions, but the only thing it provides at the moment is polling for the firmware version and number of sounds.<p>The source for the WAV Trigger Remote Control app is on GitHub, and it wouldn't be difficult to modify the outgoing serial messages to accommodate Tsunami's serial protocol. I'm currently working on a Bluetooth LE MIDI interface and moving the control app to a mobile platform, but I don't have anything available at the moment.</p></p>

The minor differences between firmware v1.01 and v1.02 should have no bearing on the audio output, i.e. "clicking". The "whine" continues to suggest wiring and/or power supply issues.

My files weren't converted to Mono, now they work great! But wait, there's more!<p>Both the Mono and Stereo files are only playing out of Out 1/ Out 1+2 respectively. Examples of my naming are 0060_S1 Kick M.wav, or 0072_S4 TomF S.wav. This should be enough to route them to the specified outputs, correct? As I said, they are only going to Out 1/ Out 1+2 (whether in Mono or Stereo mode).</p><p>I decided to try an older firmware release, and the clicking noise isn't there on v101, both Mono and Stereo. That's good! But on all firmware versions, I am getting a "whine" from about 2k-20k (when I use a lowpass at 2k it disappears) whenever the Tsunami LED is lit (Tsunami in use).</p><p>I really appreciate your help and time; this is an awesome sample player, and I'm really excited to begin using it in my live set-up. I understand that with new products like this, there are bugs and wrinkles to iron out; thanks again for your replies!</p></p>

It just doesn't allow you to open a previously saved mono .ini file as mono. You can create and save mono ini files and they will work correctly with the Tsunami mono stereo. I'm working on a new combined Configurator app that will work for both the WAV Trigger and Tsunami, and this will correctly open each type of file.<p>Regarding the clicking, it certainly sounds like a grounding or power supply issue. Without knowing all the details of your power and wiring, it's hard to help. It seems like any activity on the MIDI input is causing noise in the analog output. I suggest you troubleshoot by simplifying as much as possible. For example, use a dedicated power supply for the Tsunami, use headphones on the audio output and try a MIDI keyboard as a controller. If the clicking is still there, you may have a defective unit.</p></p>

But now onto the next can of worms... Everything works fine in Stereo, great!<p>My issue is that when I load in the Mono firmware, it never stays as Mono, but reverts to Stereo. What I mean: I'll save a new .ini in the Tsunami program, as Mono, and when I reopen it, it is Stereo. This happens no matter if I save as a new .ini or if I save over an existing .ini. Any suggestions? I've tried reinstalling the Tsunami program, but the issue persists.</p><p>Also, I hear a 'click' noise in the outputs any time a MIDI command is sent to Tsunami. It's not an audio 'pop' or clipping, it's an actual ticking sound that happens. If I send the MIDI Clock to the Tsunami, the click noise is constantly happening. It happens every time I Note-On and Note-Off, and happens as I push down with aftertouch. Notes don't even have to be played for it to happen, any MIDI command on the channels going to the Tsunami cause an audible click in the Tsunami outputs. I've tried sending commands through my drum machine and also just through my CPU interface, and the click happens in both instances.</p><p>I wonder if grounding the MIDI In port of the Tsunami to the chassis would help? Or any suggestions?</p></p>

The LED should go solid following a successful firmware update. Then when you reset, the firmware has a "heartbeat" flash every 3 seconds when audio is not playing to indicate that the firmware is indeed running. I suspect you're fine.</p>

I followed the procedure to the letter as to installing the .ini and the .hex files, formatted to Fat32, yet after I do the user+reset (it turns solid) and reset again, I get what I think is the Flash Write error (short flash every two seconds or so). The only thing I can think of is that my card is the Kingston SDC4/16GB, whereas the recommended one is the SDC4/16GBET. Is there a difference? All online retailers make them appear interchangeable. If there is a difference, do you mind suggesting a retailer where I can get exactly the correct SD card? I chose the Kingston because of the low latency, and the 8GB Toshiba is no longer purchasable anywhere. Thanks!</p>

So it is possible to play stereo (and even 5.1 or 7.1) content using the mono firmware. You just have to provide each channel as a separate mono wav file.</p>

You can connect a pair of headphones to the pairs (1/2, 3/4, 5/6, and/or 7/8) and get a decent level, depending on the impedance of the headphones.<p>We made the decision to make Tsunami a 4-stereo/8-mono output device - it's enough to differentiate it from any other embedded player that I'm aware of. If anything, it's a memory constraint, since each output requires memory for mixing and DSP (gain and sample-rate conversion), and 8 seemed like a good number. There is no external RAM in the design, so everything has to fit in the processors SRAM. Each voice also takes substantial memory (SD buffering and per-voice DSP) so this was a good tradeoff between number of voices and number of outputs.</p></p>

-What size headphones/speakers can directly connect to all of the outputs? Perhaps these speakers on each output: COM-09151?
-What was the design reason that the last two DAC stereo outputs were left unpopulated (Out5LR and Out6LR)? Was this just a layout concern or is the M7 not beefy enough (I can't see how) to process so many concurrent WAV files?</p>

With the mono version of the Tsunami firmware, you can use the "Synced Set" trigger function to start up to 8 tracks, each to its own output. Because the tracks will start and stay in sample-sync, you can use this feature to play stereo, 5.1 or even 7.1 content.</p>

I will have to do some more research, but I am afraid that even 3 ms would wreck ambisonic playback, especially if a source panned between the two board's respective speakers...might could do a six above and six below sort of arrangement inside a dodecahedron and just disallow pans that would cross the equator.</p>

With a single Tsunami, using the "Synced Set" trigger function, up to 8 tracks , sent to 8 outputs, will start and play in sample-sync - meaning that they will literally be locked sample-to-sample.<p>With two or more Tsunamis, there's no way to lock their individual clocks, so the best you can do is connect a single switch or contact closure to a trigger input on both Tsunamis. When you do this, the tracks on each Tsunami will start within 3 to 8 milliseconds of each other, and will drift slightly over time due to the frequency tolerance of the oscillators. It will likely be good enough if the tracks don't contain identical material - many MIDI instruments have this much variability in their timing - but if the tracks contain related or identical content, then there could be a noticeable comb filter effect.</p><p>Hope this helps.</p></p>

Your board is still terrific for this purpose. I just thought I'd ask about my specific application. Thanks for the quick reply.</p>

For that reason, the serial control protocol, as embodied by the Tsunami Arduino Library, is designed to be flexible enough that you can write your own custom control logic in an Arduino. Using pretty much any 3.3V Arduino, such as a Teensy, which I believe has a MIDI library, you could get what you describe without a lot of code.</p>

I need to use the Midi in, and I need to have only one note at a time go to each output channel (only one- if there's more than 8 notes simultaneously, I am ok with loosing one or more). I see that I can assign certain notes to certain channels, but that isn't what I am hoping to do. Rather, I want the first note to be played on channel 0, the second on 1, etc. Eventually, channels would be reused- if channel 1 is no longer playing, the next note would be routed to it. The best summary is- I want notes to be randomly assigned to each channel, and never more than one note to a channel at a time. Is the mode that I have described supported?</p>

I ran for 5 minutes with no glitches. This was with a SanDisk 4GB speed class 4 card. I ran the same test with a PNY 32GB U3 card, known to have problems, and got glitches. So I'm guessing your issue is indeed related to SD card. One thing to try is re-formatting on a Windows machine with a 32K allocation unit size.<p>Also, you didn't mention it but are you also using sample-rate offset commands? Speeding up the sample-rate increases the likelihood of running into SD card issues since it requires even faster access.</p></p>

The fact that changing the SD card changes the frequency of the problem is certainly a good indication. Unfortunately, the only way to test/measure a card at the moment is with a WAV Trigger - I haven't ported the test software to Tsunami, and probably won't in time to be of near-term help to you.<p>It would be interesting to throttle back to say 16 voices or fewer and see if that eliminates or reduces the occurrence. Also, if you could record the stutter and send me a short wav file that includes it. We can take this off-line if you contact me at info(at)robertsonics(dot)com.</p></p>

I've been pushing the Tsunami (~20 voices playing at a time, tracks fading in and out) and I'm running into some stuttering. It's system-wide: all voices, whatever their output, stutter simultaneously when there is a stutter.<p>It seems to happen randomly, maybe once every minute, and doesn't seem to coincide with serial command inputs or the starting/ending of track playback.</p><p>Does this sound like an SD card problem? I started with a Kingston 4G SDC4, which is on your list of recommended SD cards, but it was stuttering badly. I'm getting better results using an SD card that isn't on the list, but still the occasional stutter. I don't have a WAV trigger. is there a way for me to test my SD cards write times without one?
do you have other suggestions for troubleshooting?
Thanks</p></p>

Any way to use mono outputs with serial commands ?
Or with normal triggering, would it be possible to unlink the trigger and the outputs, and to set the outputs in the filename ? (Like you did in the Midi Note-on command method you described in the user guide) ?
Thanks.</p>

Got it working now.
As far as doing without the arduino library, it's been seamless sending control messages straight from Max -> Sparkfun FTDI 3.3v breakout -> Tsunami
Thanks again</p>

The command code (to Tsunami) for enabling track reporting is 0x0d, and the report response command code (from Tsunami) is 0x84. I'll fix this ASAP.<p>Turn track reporting on: <strong>0xf0, 0xaa, 0x06, 0x0d, 0x01, 0x55</strong></p><p>If you look at the code in the Tsunami Arduino Serial Library, that's going to be correct, since the library works. I must have changed things at some point during the final development stages and not updated the user guide. Nobody has brought this to my attention because most people probably use the Arduino library.</p></p>

I'm using the new mono firmware (V1.01m), and am using
<strong>0xf0, 0xaa, 0x06, 0x0e, 0x01, 0x55</strong>
to turn reporting on.
I get system and version info when I request it, just not reporting.<p>I noticed that in the user guide, the output message code for reporting is 0x83, but the example uses 0x84. Is it possible that the wrong message code is listed for turning reporting on?
Thanks</p></p>

My question is more I am worry if there is more action at background when Program Change occurs like parsing sd, allocating memory... I can manage with Program Change for my need: play two instrument on the board with different and independent bank system then number of files is more than 128.</p>

Changing banks with a Program Change message simply changes the MIDI Note to Track Number mapping for future note events. One thing to keep in mind is that if you hold a key while changing banks, then that track won't get the Note Off message when you release the key.</p>

I would like to play on synthesizer tracks number 121 to 136 (as example) together adding program change frame when appropriate.</p>

<p>Correct. Tsunami follows MIDI Channel Number conventions more closely than the WAV Trigger, in that it supports both dedicated channel assignment as well as Omni mode.</p>

Could you confirm my understanding for both ?
I understand in WAV trigger MIDI Channel numbering is considered at same level as bank numbering and not anymore with Tsunami. As following (is that correct ?) :<p><strong>WAV Trigger rule : Track Number = (MIDI Channel * 128) + (MIDI Bank Number * 128) + MIDI Note Number</strong> with MIDI Channel (0 to 15), MIDI Bank Number (0 to 16) and MIDI Note Number (0 to 127)</p><p>Example 1: MIDI Channel: 0, MIDI Bank Number: 1, MIDI Note Number: 1 => Track Number = 129</p><p>Example 2: MIDI Channel: 1, MIDI Bank Number: 0, MIDI Note Number: 1 => Track Number = 129</p><p><strong>TSUNAMI rule : T = (MIDI Bank Number * 128) + MIDI Note Number</strong> with MIDI Channel (0 to 15), MIDI Bank Number (0 to 31) and MIDI Note Number (0 to 127).</p><p>Example 3: MIDI Channel: 0, MIDI Bank Number: 1, MIDI Note Number: 1 => Track Number = 129</p><p>Example 4: MIDI Channel: 1, MIDI Bank Number: 0, MIDI Note Number: 1 => Track Number = 1</p></p>

The "crashing" turned out to be a SD-Card Problem. Since it is replaced by a good one, there where no crashes at all.
Again, thank you for your reply. I will test the new Firmware today!</p><p>Cheers Jan</p></p>

Both issues only affect the mono firmware version and since we ship with the stereo firmware, I was holding off releasing an update in case we found other things. I will post a v1.01 update on the robertsonics download page tonight.<p>Regarding the "Tsunami crashes very often" comment, I'd like to better understand what you mean. In all the testing and development done for this board, it doesn't ever "crash" to my knowledge, and I've had it running for days at a time.</p><p>UPDATE: Firmware v1.01 mono and stereo is now up on the Tsunami download page (link above). This should get you starting all 8 tracks. If you are using the stereo version, you don't need this update as both issues affected mono version only.</p></p>

If I had a system or home automation that had presence detection in some or all rooms and that had a wired or bluetooth speaker to each room or area. Multiple doorbell and call buttons around the house. I understand that a controller would handle a lot of these functions. This board could play a different sound for each doorbell, or play that sound in the actively occupied room and then outward at slight delays to others speakers to create a simulated echo. Make no sound in say a occupied room with lights off. If a call buttons is pressed and held it would send out an alert to all. One press/two press... etc. I could probably do a lot of these things thru OpenHAB with rules or a minimal system via a controller (yes, a Pi, Arduino, Odroid etc). I'll just throw this idea out-there and see if anyone runs with it.</p>
