ORBIT 0.8.2
A stereo delay TYPE, and about 19 KB of static RAM back from SLOOP 2.7 memory changes and the removed visualizer. Project and preset formats are unchanged.
Stereo delay
FX > DLY 2 > TYPE:
- MONO: the original centred echo (default; earlier projects open with it).
- WIDE: the right echo 13 ms after the left.
- PING: echoes alternate left and right, each bounce lowered by FDBK. The longest PING time is 0.74 s.
Changing TYPE silences the delay for about 25 ms while the line is cleared. TYPE uses no extra delay memory and is saved with projects and song sections.
Memory
- Static RAM headroom grows from 760 B to 19,720 B (
.data + .bss78,584 / 98,304 B); pool use drops by 5,504 B. - The full-screen visualizer is removed: HOME on Tape stays on Tape.
- USER preset banks are read in place from flash. An OPB2/UPB1 bank is converted once to OPB3 at the first start, keeping sound values and macro assignments.
- Ported from SLOOP 2.7 (the sloop-lab RAM branch by Andre Rezemini), with thanks to the SLOOP authors: packed MIDI note routing, a shared scratch buffer, USER banks read via XIP, DRAWBAR state in the engine arena.
Validation
Full host suite, native preview, web tests and pi32v2 target build/budgets passed; all 218 audio renders match the goldens unchanged. Installed on an FM-1 on 2026-10-29 (write 100%, restart, FM-1_900); the device owner confirmed normal operation and the three delay types. Measured audio/timing and physical OCT- rescue were not tested.
Assets: orbit.fwsc (FM-1 only) and SHA256SUMS.
