Synth 1.1 Beta firmware includes new Arp and Seq rates for triplets and dotted time divisions, as well as chord pack editor improvements. As the name implies, this is a beta firmware, so you may run into some bugs or untested behaviours.
New Features
Triplets and Dotted rates added to Arp and Seq.
12 new divisions added to the Rate selection in both Apr and Seq.
Chord Pack Editor improvements
Access to the Chord Pack Editor in the grid setup menu
Go to System Settings → Grid
Change Synth to Chord Pack and press the Ch Edit button.
Some Grid Scale names were not fully visible due to character limits, now names are abbreviated to fit
Some Synth LFO Ratio and Delay effect Time values had incorrect names
Macro Control and Master Volume/Tempo/Pitchbend values sometimes didn’t disappear from the screen header
Known Issues:
Turning the Chord Root in the Chord Editor to its minimum or maximum value could sometimes freeze the UI, requiring a restart
Flw Scale Size always displayed a value of 4 upon entering the Chord Editor, regardless of the actual value
Beware that beta releases might introduce new bugs that may lead to loss of work, data corruption, performance degradation, or crashes. We recommend backing up your SD card before trying the beta.

Thank you.
It’s good that many errors have been fixed, but there remains a critical bug that bricks the synthesizer and requires manually clearing the workspace folder.
This occurs when creating custom Grain patches using your own samples.
So far it seems like PHZ is working much better for me at least right now. I was getting distorted / cutting in and out issues but after this firmware it seems to be ok so far!
However, there’s 2 presets still causing distorting / cutting in out. Only way that seems to help them is lowering their mixer volumes down.
Starkey_Moonbase scene, turning volume down to -30 seems to help it but not fix it.
Eraldo’s_Transmission scene, turning volume down to -15 seems to help it but not fix it.
Ironically both scenes use just one grid layout. Not sure if that is a culprit or not.
Ok so i thought maybe it was smooth sailing but PHZ issue hit again with distorting / cutting out.
i think i figured out the issue. The shape 1 parameter. When it’s 0 to 20 or somewhere in that range, it starts acting up. However there’s something with the mix parameter too, if it’s too high in that engine it still causes issues. Negative values on the mix parameter works better.
True, but there for a bit I thought PHZ was doing better but now I’m running into issues with it so, im guessing perhaps it didn’t get fixed yet then.
I can happily say that the midi sync glitch is fixed.
thanks for the support on your devices Polyend , i know its normal but it
appears not to be the case for many companies.
any hopes on cpu high fix?
