#169432 - nothing in the code
Responding to: ???'s previous message
It's pretty simple code and there is nothing in it that I think would overwrite RAM on reset. I've chosen to use locations 70-7F to store the number of notes, lowest note number, and channel for four <64-note keyboards that I'm going to MIDI-fy, as well as the channel and controller type for 2 potentiometers. My goal is to get this to all add up to a simple and cheap midi organ.
My concerns arose when I was reading that the RAM was indeterminate after a hardware reset, and I wasn't sure what was meant by "indeterminate"--random gibberish possible, or previous values? Thanks for setting me straight.
