1.35 (January 19, 2018)
1.33 (August 30, 2017)
- Fix a display update timing bug affecting some units.
1.32 (August 29, 2017)
- Fix quantizer underflow behaviour.
1.31 (August 28, 2017)
- More efficient quantizer with several bugfixes.
- Buttons more responsive to longer clicks.
- Fixed loading of last saved settings on startup.
- Fixed tempo differing from reported BPM when in internal mode.
- Fix PNG mode playing one extra step.
1.30 (May 16, 2017)
Major update.
- Improvements to clocking and overall timing / performance
- The AUX inputs can now track 1V per octave in P.Pre, P.PoST, and RooT modes. Config menu option added to calibrate them.
- New aux destinations P.PreL P.PoSL and RooTL which work like the old ones used pre-1.30.
- Ratcheting enabled by hold holding a stage button and turning the encoder.
- TunE option in the CONFIG menu for assisting with tuning oscillators.
- bSLId / bSKIP option in the CONFIG menu to toggle the default behaviour of the stage buttons between slide and skip.
- rsT option in the CONFIG menu now has rST_r, "run" mode. In this mode the RESET input functions as a RUN input which is a gate input complimentary to the RUN output of the µMIDI. When the gate is high the sequencer runs. When the gate is low, it stops and resets.
- Shortcut keys: Hold MODE, STAGES, STEP/DIV, SCALE, SWING or DIV and then press one of the stage buttons to quickly access commonly-used values.
- Improved DINSync support.
- Pattern saving, with 8 slots. Hold the SAVE button and click one of the stage buttons to save the current pattern. Hold The LOAD button and click one of the stage buttons to load a previously-saved pattern.
- 8 slots for global settings. In the SAVE and LOAD menus you can use the encoder to select a slot from 1-8 before clicking it to load and save the global settings.
1.14 (Oct 27, 2015)
- Fix a bug introduced in 1.13 that disabled the STEP/DIV function.
1.13 (Oct 20, 2015)
- Fixes and improvements to outgoing clock when using external clock sync.
- Prevent accidental triggering of slides when muting / unmuting steps.
- Slider movements / currently played notes now display quantized value.
- Reset to default settings: Select save, scroll to yes, click reset.
- Keep pitch constant during rests. This can be reverted to the old behaviour by changing “rPC” (rest pitch) option in config to “yes”.
- Encoder acceleration when changing BPM.
1.12 (Jun 23, 2015)
- Fix loading of int/ext clock mode from a preset.
- Fix upgrade of some modules where the clock would run slower than normal.
1.11 (Jun 12, 2015)
- Fixes for incoming clock divider when used with an external clock.
- Fix upgrade on modules with ATmega328p chips.
1.10 (Jun 2, 2015)
- New d24 option under INT/EXT for tight sync with dinsync devices.
- New incoming clock divider setting under the div menu, and aux control over clock division.
1.09 (May 26, 2015)
- prev/next buttons can be used step between stages when stopped. The currently selected stage’s CV is output so it can be used to preview the note.
- int/ext clock mode is saved along with the other settings.
