v-trigger?

I need a v-trigger (positive voltage = active), since I use synthesizers from Yusynth and Music from Outer Space.
One option would be to use an inverting schmitt trigger on the Outputs, maybe with a small selection switch.

Another way woul look like this:
10k pulldown resistor needed on pin 1,2 and 20 of the atmega and a modification in the Trig_out() and setup() section:

setup(), modified:

Code: Select all

...
DDRB |= B100;
DDRD |= 0;
...
But since I'm not good at bitmath I have no idea how to change the following code to trigger high instead of low.
I gues using the bitSet()/bitClear() command would be too slow, right?

Trig_out(), original:

Code: Select all

void Reset_Trig_Out()
{
  PORTB &= ~((1<<1)|(1<<0));
  PORTD &= ~(1<<6);
}

void Send_Trig_Out()
{
  PORTB |= ((bitRead((inst_step_buffer[step_count][pattern_buffer])&(~inst_mute),14)<<0) | (bitRead((inst_step_buffer[step_count][pattern_buffer])&(~inst_mute),13)<<1));
  PORTD |= (bitRead((inst_step_buffer[step_count][pattern_buffer])&(~inst_mute),12)<<6);
}

void Test_Trig_Out()
{
  PORTB |= ((1<<1)|(1<<0));
  PORTD |= (1<<6);
}

void Send_Trig_Out_Midi()
{
  PORTB |= ((bitRead(inst_midi_buffer,14)<<0) | (bitRead(inst_midi_buffer,13)<<1));
  PORTD |= (bitRead(inst_midi_buffer,12)<<6);
}
I'm wondering, that so many people seem to use s-trigger.

Not very many people use S-trig, it's a mistake that the maker acknowledged and said would be fixed with the new firmware to be released on 12/1/2014. This was never released and they haven't responded since then with a new estimate.
It's a shame because it's really a major flaw in an otherwise amazing piece of gear.

It's been nearly 5 months now... Can we have an updated firmware with V-trigs instead of S-trig on the 3 trig outs???

All Manufacturers use V-trig, which makes the yocto unable to talk with most of the gear we use...

Please?
