# Gritty Grids - An Improved MIDI Implementation for Grids Grids is a topographic (drum) sequencer for Eurorack modular synthesizers developed by Mutable Instruments. If you use a setup that is primarily based on MIDI you might want to synchronize Grids to your MIDI master clock. The stock firmware of Grids offers only rudimentary support for a MIDI interface. It resets the drum engine when it receives a MIDI Start message and uses MIDI Clock messages to advance. However it does not care about MIDI Stop or MIDI Continue messages. If, after pressing stop on your MIDI master device, the master does not cease sending MIDI Clocks (quite a common behaviour) Grids will go on drumming forever. The "Gritty Grids" firmware improves on this situation by properly reacting to all MIDI Start, Stop, Continue and Clock messages. See the [Gritty Grids demo video](https://youtu.be/vbTWLX3Ts00) on YouTube. ### A MIDI Interface for Grids Fortunately Grids offers three pads on the back of its printed circuit board that are waiting to become a MIDI IN interface.  Just connect the following simple circuit. It can easily be built on a prototyping board.  As a quick hack you might even succeed if you only take a 5-pin female DIN jack making the following connections: * pin 2 (shield / ground) to Grids GND * pin 5 (current sink) to Grids RX> But beware: This is a hack. It DOES NOT COMPLY with the specification of the MIDI standard. You lose the galvanic isolation of the MIDI interface. It might or might not work. Try at your own risk. ### Flashing the Firmware Use the in-system programmer of your choice (e. g. I use the AVRisp MkII from Atmel) to flash the "gritty-grids.hex" file to the AVR microcontroller on Grids. If you are not familiar with flashing AVR controllers search the web for instructions. If you want to go back to the original stock firmware flash "grids_original.hex". ### Gritty Grids User Manual Enter the external clocking mode by turning the tempo knob to its minimum position, thus enabling Grids to be clocked by either external clock pulses or by MIDI messages. After receiving a MIDI Start or MIDI Continue message Grids switches into a "clocked_by_midi" mode. In this mode its drum engine advances with every MIDI clock message. External clocking via the clock input jack is disabled. Receiving a MIDI Start message resets the Grids drum engine whereas MIDI continue resumes from the current state it was left in. The functionality of the reset input as well as the TAP/reset button was changed, because a manually tapped-in tempo or an external reset applied while in "clocked_by_midi" mode would break the synchronization with the MIDI master. Instead they now provide a "mute" function that suppresses all trigger and accent outputs. While muted all three output leds will light up permanently. When entering the external clocking mode (turning the tempo knob fully left) the outputs are muted by default. Press the button to unmute them. To leave the "clocked_by_midi" mode, turn the tempo knob to the right. This activates internal clocking and unmutes all outputs. ### Other Changes Besides the MIDI stuff I also disabled retriggering of the outputs when a signal at the reset input has been received. This avoids the annoying double triggers. Finally I increased the duration of the trigger pulses from 1 ms to 5 ms because some Eurorack modules are reported to have troubles recognizing the short trigger pulses generated by Grids original firmware. ### Syncing other modules to your MIDI master If you have a sequencer module in your rack you might want to set Grids output configuration to ACC / CLK / RST (see Grids manual on how to do this). This leaves you with a clock and reset output that are in sync with your MIDI master clock. Use these outputs to synchronize your sequencer modules. ### Website Original Grids website: https://mutable-instruments.net/modules/grids/ ### Author * Author of the original Grids project is Émilie Gillet. * Author of the Gritty Grids modification is Sonic Insurgence. ### License This program is free software: you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation, either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version. ### Acknowledgments Original Grids design by Émilie Gillet from Mutable Instruments.
