1. Intro

This manual is incomplete, sorry. When complete, it will document
features and changes specific to my custom x0xb0x firmware. This manual
is supplemental to the official x0xb0x user manual[1], which you should
first read in its entirety.

2. Features

Pattern Copy / Save-As

   As of meow14, my firmware supports the copying of patterns and the
   ability to save a pattern in a different location in PATTERN EDIT
   mode.

   To copy a pattern, switch the x0xb0x to PATTERN EDIT mode. Select
   the bank with the bank knob, select the pattern with the numkey
   buttons (1-8). Hit the DONE key, the DONE LED will blink. You may
   now select the bank and location, as before, to save the pattern
   to. Press R/S to cancel the copy.

   To save an edited pattern to its current location from PATTERN
   EDIT mode, hit the DONE key. The DONE LED will blink. Hit the
   DONE key again to save. Hit R/S to cancel the save without destroying
   the edited pattern in the edit buffer.

   To save an edited pattern to a different location from PATTERN
   EDIT mode, hit the DONE key. The DONE LED will blink. Choose
   the bank and location, as above, to save to. Hit the DONE key
   to save the pattern. Hit R/S to cancel the save without destroying
   the edited pattern in the edit buffer.

Default Pattern

   The official firmware defaults an empty pattern in PATTERN EDIT mode
   to zero steps long. As of meow18, my firmware defaults an empty pattern
   to 16 steps, all notes C2. This has no effect on the PATTERN PLAY modes.

Misc.

   The meow firmware additionally has note LEDs enabled for both KEYBOARD
   and MIDI PLAY modes. It also has several bugs fixed, see the firmware
   changelog for details.

Since my firmware isn't "official", I'm free to add more experimental or
strange patches. My Subversion repository is world readable, you may
submit patches against my repository created with `svn diff`.

Source may be checked out with the following command:
