Synth 1.3.0 Beta #1

Synth 1.3.0 Beta Firmware #1

This is the first Beta for Synth 1.3 with new layouts to play three synths at once or two synths in one, and one separately as well as an accessibility improvement to customize each synth color.

New Features

  • New customizable colors for each Synth engine
    • Change colors in System Settings > Colors
  • New 3in1 and 2plus1 Grid layouts to play 3 or 2 synths simultaneously
    • Switch to multi-synth at the bottom of the Grid Layout menu
    • Multi-synth grids only playable in Note mode

Fixes

  • Switching from Chord Pack to Note mode could cause incorrect sequencer playback.
  • A red incorrectly highlighted pad no longer appears when switching grid layouts
  • Changing WAVS/GRAIN patches via PC now loads the correct sample
  • Scenes with over-allocated synth voices no longer freeze on load
  • Memory use optimization
  • Pads in follower mode incorrectly scrolled through notes when adjusting the grid scale or chord parameters
  • Audio engine stabilized when playing the highest pitches with the high amounts of pitch modulation

Great news, thank you very much. The color change feature is incredible at least for me, colorblinded. And the hability to play simultaneously the Synths is a huge step too. Incredible. Thank you!

I’m not colorblind, but I’m loving the update! One of the coolest one so far, I like the default colors, but this customization option makes the synth even more customizable and enjoyable.

Thank you very much! :slight_smile:

Hey Team!
Thanks for the update. Changing colors is really nice. I also like the 3in1 and 2plus1 layouts.
One thing and don’t get me wrong: Cyan looks more like Turqoise, but that’s fine. :slight_smile:

Hi, one question .. I’m in the grid menu but I can’t find the 3in1 synth mode. Where is it? Thanks!

If you turn the Layout knob it should be at the very bottom
