Synth 1.2.0 Beta Firmware
This is the first Beta for Synth 1.2 focusing on interface improvements and disabling effects when they aren’t in use to free up some of the CPU.
New Features
- Effects (Rev, Mod, Del) are not activated when not used in a scene
- Dim Mode added to the system settings.
- Interface improvements to help avoid clipping and distortion
- Master Volume now shows dB values instead of a line
- Mixer Level meter turns red when clipping
- Maximum mixer sends set to 0dB instead of +12 (Old projects will still load with the value saved at +dB settings)
- Added screen indicators to help troubleshoot when a Synth isn’t playing a sound
- Added an all note off option to stop hanging notes
- Access via Main Menu > All Notes Off
Fixes
- GRAIN Burst Ratio parameter values were playing at double the specified tempo
- Incorrect engine could load on when mapping PC change options if patches shared the same name
- Freeze when using Layout and Mode knobs on Grid page simultaneously
- Clicking when using crossfaders for Mod > Rev or Mod > Del could sometimes occur
- Aftertouch did not work if Pad hit extremely hard
- Preventing hanging of held notes when Local Mode changed to off
- PC change could corrupt the loaded patch and browsers
- Patch preview removed from PC mapping to prevent this issue
- Freeze after loading a scene with PC Mappings multiple times
- Switching Pages would occasionally result in an empty parameter page
- Main Menu navigation sometimes cut-off
- Held Notes were not highlighted after switching instruments on seq
If you run into any issues please share them with us by logging a Beta Bug in Backstage.
Thank you.
