updates to the sequencer

Hi everyone, I just want to let you know that there have been some new updates made to the sequencer!
Notes are now being displayed as the note letter and octave (capital letters for natural notes and lower case letters for sharp notes)
Two new playback modes have also been added!
Tie mode: ties together notes of the same value if they occur one after another in the sequence
Ringout mode: prevents note off messages from being sent during playback - surprisingly useful for mono synths.
The sequencer is now sort of polyphonic! You can enter and playback chords into your sequences as well.
And multitasking has been introduced! I've been working on this for a while and I guess the cat is out of the bag - you can run the sequencer at the same time as arp-note, the arpeggiator, autochord or midi lfo. Syncing the note playback between each of the apps has not been added yet and midi clock sync has not been incorporated into anything at this point, but there's potential for these things down the road. At the very least, if you want to run the sequencer at the same time as one of the other apps - you can - hooray!
Here's a video showing some of the new features in action
Funded on DAY ONE!

Hi everyone, just a quick update here to say thank you!
Thanks to you, MIDI Goblin was able to reach its funding goal in just ONE DAY! This is very good news and with the funding goal reached this early on it will allow a little more time to focus on making improvements.
You can expect MIDI Goblin to begin shipping in October this year. I'm currently weighing the pros and cons of adding a stretch goal but will ultimately only create the goal if it doesn't impact the planned shipping date.
Between now and then please follow us on social media. Ill be posting updates regarding new features, the production process and videos putting MIDI Goblin to the test with any synthesizer I can get my paws on.
With that being said, please do share info about MIDI Goblin with family, friends, acquaintances..... enemies....arch-enemies or on social media! Surpassing the goal by a wider margin will ultimately help bring down the cost of bulk ordering components and I'm sure there are a lot of people out there who will find it pretty darn useful.
I think it's also worth mentioning that right now - with all the features currently included - only about %30 of MIDI Goblin's program memory is being consumed, it's only running on 1 of 2 available CPU cores - and the existing code could still be optimized quite a bit. There is a LOT of headroom for it to grow and plenty of talented programmers out there who might be interested in helping add features or just using the existing code or hardware for their own projects, so spread the word!
