Retrograde Orbit testing has been a glorious success I would say! A few issues which will require another prototype PCB but generally it's kicking ass! Here's a peek at the next prototype PCB.

Behold! Retrograde Orbit! I need to make some tweaks to the firmware from the WaveBoy version and will deffo need a PCB revision for a few oopsies, but it's working pretty awesome for a first prototype!

Not my cleanest prototype but here's the bottom half of Retrograde Orbit's PCB minus the jacks (and C8). I'll do initial power testing soon. I still need to start work on the pedal-specific firmware, but things are coming along well enough!

WaveBoy 0.72 firmware is now out:

waveboy.bitbybitsynths.com/firmware/

Mostly a bugfix release. No more crackles when overdriving the input on Retrograde; re-implemented startup-where-you-left-off for many modules. To save the state of the current module, press left knob before power-off.

Running a bit behind on 0.71. It's coming! I was fighting a small bomb going off in my mouth this week which ended up in a root canal which wiped me out for most of this week. It's not too far off though!

Whee Retrograde Orbit on the WaveBoy plus Mix Tape is a pretty wild combo!

Looking already at WaveBoy firmware 0.72. This will have the Retrograde Orbit fix though I want to also reintroduce starting up in the last module that was being used. This was removed for stability for refactoring but I'd like to bring it back.

WaveBoy 0.71 is now out! Details here:

www.bitbybitsynths.com/2026/09/wave...

In super brief, delay has been renamed to Retrograde Orbit (and works properly now); and Sampler patches have been reworked.

I'm using #WaveBoy in Jenny PWM mode for this!

U got the waveboy shit running on that bad boy?

Update on the next WaveBoy Firmware release, I'm changing how the Sampler patches work. This should make building patches much easier but replaces the existing method and I decided not to worry about a migration path directly in the firmware, but...

...would be happy to help folks convert their patchsets for anyone that is rolling their own sample packs for the WaveBoy. It's a tedious process right now which is why I don't think many folks are making Sampler patches (apart from me).

Playing around with a Video 8 camcorder. Mostly for seeing if this might be what we wanna do for the band's socials. But since I'm using a WB here, I thought I'd share.

Video 8 onto tape, then played back on my Sony PWM CRT and re-recorded on my phone.

In addition to planned features for 0.71 of the #WaveBoy firmware, a couple bugs have been found with Retrograde Orbit (the delay mode), and the LFO which I'm working to sort out.

Been pretty productive with the upcoming projects, but with all that stuff ordered, now it's back to working on 0.71 firmware for WaveBoy! Wanting to finish up the JSON file format conversions.

Project 3 of 3: Presenting Retrograde Orbit - the WaveBoy-based guitar delay pedal (well the PCB at least).

Huge thanks to my bandmate John for coming up with the name. It's a play on words as it uses a ring buffer (orbit) and a variable clocked DAC the WaveBoy uses (retro).

And finally, here's my 4HP sized tape echo interface module. I had to go SMD to fit it all in.

It needs a cool name (and of note the delay pedal and WaveBoy delay mode now DO have a name while I'll announce soon).

3 designs in a few weeks, not bad!

I have quite a list for our next Eurorack module/thing:

1. Guitar delay pedal / Eurorack module (WB delay mode)
2. Eurorack Tape Echo Interface
3. DIYRE Colour carrier
4. WaveBoy Advanced / Micro

At present, working on #1 as I got a lot of feedback at CGF about a delay pedal.

0.70 in action. Showing off the new Jenny mode with Internal Slew into the other WB running the realtime delay. Yummy!

0.70 is out! Considering this a bit of a soft launch for eager early adopters:

Docs are updated but I need to add more photos, probably update the tuning video, write a blog post, etc. But it's here!

Tim's been working hard on his WaveBoy and he just busted out firmware version 0.70 (which adds the new Jenny mode that we'll likely be using for our live shows!)

そういう仕様???➰🙃
