Synth Firmware 1.2.0

Synth Firmware 1.2.0

Synth firmware 1.2 focuses 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
  • Quickly scrolling the program change mapping list sometimes switched the active patch
  • 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
