OS Version 1.30.9705 Release Notes
Soundware:
• New VAST DSP: Hard Sync Square oscillator and Triple Saw have been added. New programs which feature these are in the 900s.
• New synth programs at IDs 962-969 and 986-990.
• New blues harp program (with a cool demo sequence) at ID 970.
• More setups at IDs 94-125. Many feature the new Apreggiator patterns and step sequencers. Lots of techno, "industrial" and funk material.
Setup Mode:
• Step Sequencers and Patterns: In Setup Mode, we've added two step sequencers; one for pitch offsets and one for velocities. There are also pre-programmed patterns with scales, modes, guitar riffs, and rhythmic patterns. Access these on the ArpZone page in Setup Mode. The pitch patterns/step sequencer is the upper right, and the velocity patterns/step sequencer are at the bottom right.
• Select "pattern" then move the cursor onto the pattern and hit edit. Each zone in a setup has its own velocity and pitch offset patterns. Up to 16 of each can be playing at once. (This is in addition to the possible 16 Riffs in a setup.)
• Simultaneous Mode: On the ArpZone page in Setup Mode, you can select "Simultaneous" for the Order parameter. This allows for polyphonic arpeggiations.
• Riffs: The parameters on the Riff pages in Setup Mode have been reorganized to be more friendly.
Song Mode:
• Count-off Options: Now it is possible to use count-off in the middle of a sequence.
• Standard MIDI Files: Now type 1 and type 0 are both supported. This includes tempo changes.
• Event Viewing: In the event editor it is possible to view tempo, program #, pan and velocity.
• Tempo Track: Tempo changes can now be recorded and edited in a newly added tempo track. Go into the event editor and scroll down from track 1 and you'll see it.
• Mixer Page: Real-time update/recording of program changes, volume and panning.
• Key Wait: Added to the Misc page in Song Mode. Allows recording/playback to be triggered by the first key strike after hitting Record.
Effects:
• Effects "Performance Mode": Turned on by default. Switch on the Master Page. Turned off by default in Song Mode. Minimizes disruption of existing effects when changing program/setups. Also, entry values no longer disrupt sustained notes when switching programs/setups.
• 3 new distortion algoritms added: "500 Gate+TTubeAmp3", "501 MonoDistT + EQ" and "580 VibChorCabT".
Storage/Memory Enhancements:
• xD Card capacity for Storage Mode (not Boot Loader Mode*) has been increased to support Type M/M+ 1Gb cards.
• *NOTE: 1Gb cards are not supported in Boot Loader mode. Type "S" 256Mb cards will still be required for performing OS updates via xD (alternatively OS upates can be performed via USB).
• User RAM object capacity increased to support up to 2400 objects total (dependent on individual object sizes).
• USB Storage capacity has been increased from 1Mb to 2Mb
General Enhancements:
• Activity Icon: When loading objects or booting up with large number of user objects which could take a while to be loaded, a small "busy" icon appears.
• "Clickless" Portamento: Seamless transitions in mono programs which use samples. Switch is on the Common page.
• User Intonation Tables: Found on page 2 of the Master Page. Intonation tables can now be edited, stored and saved.
• Name search: Now working in Setup Mode.
• Various bug fixes
