PROFILE
Michael Katz
Contributed to SynthstromAudible/DelugeFirmware by developing on-device file management features and enhancing MIDI protocol reliability. Delivered file copy and move operations within the firmware, refactoring existing rename logic and implementing robust error handling and automatic directory creation to streamline embedded file system workflows. Expanded and clarified SysEx protocol documentation using Markdown, covering message formats, data encoding, and session management to support developer onboarding and future integrations. Addressed a MIDI message validation issue by repositioning checks in the C++ codebase, ensuring correct handling of normal and sysex messages. Work demonstrated depth in embedded systems, firmware development, and technical documentation.

Mar 1, 2026Month: 2026-03. Focused on stabilizing MIDI message handling in SynthstromAudible/DelugeFirmware to improve reliability and live performance outcomes. Implemented a targeted flow correction in the MIDI validation path, moving the data1 and 0x80 || data2 checks to occur after the sysex dispatch block. This ensures normal MIDI channel messages are validated while allowing sysex packets (CIN 0x04-0x07) to bypass the check as designed. The change reduces false positives and misinterpretation of sysex data, especially during live use and complex MIDI setups.
