Play the kit's samples off the card instead of nothing at all - #10
Conversation
The device handed app::init an empty bank, so on hardware the drum pads made no sound: main.cpp said as much, waiting for io/ to read them. The simulator did have sound, through the render tool's host-only loader, so the two entry points did not share a path and the one that mattered was the silent one. io::load_samples reads kits/<kit id>/<the pad's source> off the card into the PSRAM §7.5 sets aside for exactly this, and both entry points use it. Each WAV is read straight into the room left in that memory and parsed where it lands, then moved down over its own header: a sample is up to 192 KB and the device has 63 KB of ordinary RAM free, so there is nowhere to stage a copy. A file that is missing, is not 16-bit 48 kHz mono PCM, or runs past the two seconds D-081 allows costs its own pad its sound and nothing more, and the log says which file and why. hal::sample_memory() answers with nothing when no PSRAM is fitted, which is every board until bring-up: writing to a section that is not backed would fault rather than fail, and io/ leaves the sample pads silent instead. The simulator's card is seeded from spec/kits/ when cmake configures, so it reads its kit the same way the device does. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

its corresponding pad is silent while a neighboring pad still loads, and confirm

Run the Teensy firmware build and cover T-100. hal::sample_memory uses EXTMEM and external_psram_size on Teensy, while the host uses an ordinary static array. A host build cannot validate PRD §7.5, D-060, or D-108. Run pio run -d firmware -e teensy41, then exercise the no-PSRAM case during bring-up.

Three findings, all of them holes in my own tests rather than in the code. The scenario says one missing WAV silences its own pad and no other, and the test only ever had files that were present and wrong. Hat has no file at all now, and the two pads that load are checked again afterwards to show they are still where they were. The no-PSRAM case is said once rather than once a pad, which is the whole point of answering it at the top of the function; the test counts the log lines now instead of taking it on trust. And the scenario's "the synth pads play on" had nothing behind it: a bass tap on an empty card is audible, and a kick on the same card is not. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Answered in 2c6de82. All three were holes in my own tests rather than in the code, and the first one is the kind I should have caught: the scenario says a missing WAV silences its own pad and no other, and every case I wrote had a file that was present and wrong. Hat has no file at all now, and the two pads that do load are checked again afterwards to show they are still where they were. The no-PSRAM case is answered once at the top of the function rather than once a pad, which is the whole point of answering it there — the test counts the log lines now instead of taking it on trust. And On the Teensy build: 114 tests, 10,294 assertions green. |

Stacked on #9 — GitHub will retarget this to
mainwhen that merges. The commit here is only the sample loading; #9's screens work is the base.Why this is the first slice of kit loading
firmware/src/main.cpphandedapp::initan emptySampleBank, and its own comment said so: "The kit's samples arrive when io/ reads them from the card; until then the sample pads are silent." So on hardware the drum pads made no sound at all. The simulator did have sound — throughrender::load_kit_samples, which is host-only tool code — so the two entry points did not share a path, and the one that mattered was the silent one.That makes samples the thin end-to-end slice, ahead of the
Kit-owns-its-strings refactor: it is the piece that makes the firmware audible, and it needs no change to theKittype.What it does
io::load_samplesreadskits/<kit id>/<the pad's source>off the card into the PSRAM §7.5 sets aside for it, and both entry points call it.hal::sample_memory()returns nothing when no chip is fitted, which is every board today. Writing to.externalramon a board without PSRAM faults rather than fails, so the HAL asks the core'sexternal_psram_sizeand io/ leaves the sample pads silent when the answer is zero.host/CMakeLists.txtseedsout/sdcard/kits/fromspec/kits/at configure time, so the simulator reads its kit off its card exactly as the device does, and §12 rule 5's "the host is the reference behaviour" means something again.host/main.cppno longer links the render tool.Verification
./build/tests: 113 cases, 10,280 assertions, green. T-100 covers the good path (samples packed one after another, none overlapping, each pad's own file), each way a file can be wrong, no card, and no PSRAM — and that a sample off the card is actually heard: the same tap peaks above 0.05 with it and below 1e-6 without. That last one is the claim this PR is really making, so it seemed worth asserting rather than assuming.pio run -d firmware -e teensy41links, and reportsEXTRAM: variables:1536128— the arena is in PSRAM, not in the 63 KB of RAM2 that was left.cmake -S host -B build: all five WAVs loaded, zeroio:errors in the log, auditions rendered.engine/andsound/still include nothing fromhal/.What is still ahead in kit loading
This slice keeps the kit definition compiled in; only its sounds come off the card. Still to come:
engine::Kitholding its own strings instead of pointers into the firmware image, and a readable kit file the builder emits beside the C++ header it already generates, so a kit can be added without a rebuild. Those want the format decision that is still open.🤖 Generated with Claude Code
