Note Range Limitations

[Lothean]

I already expanded the notePeriods array in Arduino/Moppy/src/MoppyInstruments/MoppyInstrument.h which already increased the note range of the software.
You should check your mapper configuration for note limits or your instrument.
If the range is still not wide enough for you, expand the notePeriods, noteDoubleTicks and noteTicks arrays!

Don't feel bad, I had the same question. See this issue on the "Classic" repo.

Looks good to me! (That should work fine for you devices, hopefully) If you want to do future users a favor and just go ahead and finish off the array, I'd be happy to accept a pull request :)

[Lothean]

Ah. I think you need to modify the file Arduino/Moppy/src/MoppyInstruments/FloppyDrives.cpp
Set the value of const byte MAX_FLOPPY_NOTE to 128 and it should work fine!

Forgive me for being so uneducated, but how exactly do i convert notes into microseconds?

I'm not sure what i'm doing wrong. I've expanded the arrays from C0 all the way to C8. However, my highest note is still cutting out right before C7?

[Lothean]

Have you expanded all 3 arrays as they were supposed to ?

@Lothean

This is what I did. I think it's right but i might be wrong.

@Sammyiam

But the notes are still cutting out before C7?

[Lothean]

@ApplesOfEpicness
Which instrument are you using ?

[ApplesOfEpicness]

@Lothean

Software wise or hardeware wise? The software is set for normal floppies, but the instrument I’m physically using is a hard drive voice coil which has a nearly unlimited tone range.

[ApplesOfEpicness]

Huh, I was looking in the .h file instead of the .cpp. Yep, works pretty well. Some higher notes are out of tune so I’ll work on fixing that later.

Thanks for the help guys!

Concerning the notes that are a bit off, you should try setting the timer resolution to 20!
