    This seems to work as a workaround. Cloning the avrlib module manually.

    git clone https://github.com/pichenettes/avril.git

    rm -rf avrlib/
    mv avril avrlib

    Hmmm the manual says make sure the filesize is below 64512 bytes. But it doesn't say what to do if it's not :S help!

    I am deeply sorry about that. With all the new features, I am so close to the maximum size limit that the version of the compiler generating the code does matter.

    Option 0 is to check an earlier branch (v0.95) which is smaller.

    Option 1 is to trim into the code until a better solution is found. Locate bits of code and comment them (for example in oscillator.h, replace some entries in fn_table_ by RenderSilence).

    Option 2 is to use avr-gcc-4.3.3 – which is the version I use and which seems to generate more compact code than the newer versions.

    ATMega1284p is not an option since it would require a modification of the control board.

    I was after the 0.95 version anyway, but i'll give 4.3.3 a try soon. Thanks.

    I have thought about this and there might be a solution to get 3 or 4k. This would drastically change the architecture of the code and require a lot of testing.

    I will try to work on it on my “spare cycles”, but I hope you’ll understand it would be extremely risky for me to throw away “battle-tested” code. Maybe call it a “developer branch”?

    A very rough check gives me a hint that my idea might work and yield a code size reduction of 2.5k. I’ll continue digging and post a preview. Firmware development on the main branch is frozen until then.

    I have pushed the change to the current master. I’ve browsed through 140 presets and they seemed to be unaffected by the change.

    Thanks! I'll give it a go this weekend. I'll be away for work the next few days.
