This firmware update CHOMPI: TAPE 2.0 contains new improvements to the signature CHOMPI workflow.  In collaboration with Chase Bliss, we created this update to include feature expansions, bug fixes, and firmware stabilization refinements.

CHOMPI TAPE V2.0 Firmware Updates:

• Overhaul & Refinements to CHOMPI’s power and battery charging systems

  • Significantly more robust battery charging protocol

  • Auto switching to USB-C power mode when a low battery or charging error is recognized

  • 15sec timer (all LED’s flashing yellow) when low battery threshold is reached 

    • Quickly connect USB-C power cable to rescue a low-batt shut down

• New User Config Option = Split Delay < & > Reverb 

  • Toggling this setting on CHOMPI’s options.json file will separate the combo Delay/Reverb into two separate FX

  • When FX split is enabled, the controls will be updated to the following:

    • Noon = NO Effect

    • Left = Delay (Green LED)

    • Right = Reverb (Blue LED)

    • Shift + Enc Turn = Delay Time and Reverb Size

• Refined Tape Stability FX (Flutter/Chorus) to accommodate for a wider range of applications

• Updates and improvements to the Midi Engines

  • Midi CC OUT now sent on all knobs/pages (see midi map for CC’s).

  • Midi Notes IN now across 4 octaves (adding two more oct on the lower ranges).

  • Midi Notes IN will continue to play in the “background” while Shift key is held down.

  • Fixed a mismatch bug related to Midi Notes sending and receiving one Octave apart.

• Refined Input Gain Staging for both sampling and looper engines (cleaner, more accurate sample recording).

• Updated the bootup oscillator wave to a dual triangle (NES video game flute vibes).

• Multiple backend bug fixes and engine optimization / refinement for an overall more stable hardware platform.
