cellsDS version 1.2 is available in the download section. It’s a small update that includes:
* A new page containing 6 volume sliders corresponding to the 6 engines. The volume settings are saved along with your snapshots. Use the LEFT or RIGHT shoulder buttons to navigate to the volume page.
* Fixed a bug where the BPM wasn’t properly set after loading a snapshot. (Thanks Gojira)
* Fixed a bug where the Lua ACTIVE global variable wasn’t getting set in the active engine immediately after loading a snapshot.
Announcing cellsDS: A free flexible, programmable grid-based music sequencer for the Nintendo DS. cellsDS is six sequencers in one, with each sequencer being controlled by a user definable Lua script. It is the peculiar anti-social stepchild of the Tenori-On and Monome.
Download it from the download page.
Features include:
* Dead simple user interface.
* Ability to create your own unique sequencer rules using the Lua programming language. CellsDS comes with a developer’s guide and example scripts to get you started.
* 175 sounds are included. With a little work, you can add your own sounds.
* Ability to customize the scale. (All you microtonal nerds will be pleased.)
* Coming soon… Wifi-Midi support.
There are some limitations to the Lua scripts that you can write due to performance issues. Please refer to the Developer’s Guide (included in the distribution) for more details. In short, cellsDS sequencers need to perform briskly - which might rule out things such as doing expensive cellular-automaton calculations.
A special thanks to all of the beta testers for their ideas and support. Please report any bugs to the forums.
Cheers,

repeaterDS version 1.2 is now available for download.
New features include:
* Sync to Midi support using Midi-Wifi
* Press and hold the [LEFT] directional pad to randomize the sample.
It’s been a while since I coded this new version. There may be other improvements that I forgot to mention. Was there a ‘drift mode’ in version 1.0? If not, there is now! See the top-screen menu for options.
