--V.1.01G (June 27 2016) Features and Updates include:--
PlayFX scrubbing can now be turned off.
If in Pos/Size mode, the POS knob's position is only updated on a Loop. This can be slower/difficult to use with
large samples, but allows smooth changes
Reducing the SIZE while adjusting allows scrubbing behavior.
If in Start/End Mode, it's a bit easy to navigate a sample when scrubbing is off, although lasrger samples are still
slow to tune.
G-Move and CV input's are unaffected by PlayFX Scrubbing option
Slice Play LEDs indicate Slice #
Now when in SLICE SEL mode, the relative slice# is displayed as 1-8 and 9-16 with amber LED on, with >16 Slices
rolling on every 16, i.e Slice 17 = LED 1
Moving the Rate knob for Slice# 1 to +16) momentarily shows offset. This feature also works when in
Slice Groove Sequencer while playing.
This idea was brought up just 2 days ago, and even though obvious now, I hadn't considered it at all. + who doesn't
like der blinkinlights!
New/Improved Blend CV control:
Blend can now be controlled via CV! If the option is enabled (is by default) selecting EQ All LEDs Off will switch
the EQ CV input over to Blend control.
On power-up, -5V will fully swing Blend to the AC input, while +5V will fully swing the Blend to Sample output, just
as the Blend knob does.
To use with an Envelope that is only positive, hold the EQ button > 1 second (as with unipolar EQ band controls)
and the CV 0-5V with EQ knob fully CW will envelope the Sampler output and mix the AC input as steady level.
0-5V with the EQ knob fully down (CCW) will envelope the AC input while sampler level remains the same!
The response time has been shortened to about 20mS which will still smoothen gate pulses if used on CV input.
EQ Band pass-active Takeover and Band indication:
If the option is enabled (is by default) each EQ band setting is remembered and won't become active until the
EQ knob (or CV) moves over the previous setting. This can be useful for adjusting 2 bands without interfering with
the third that is set way low or high when in "All 3 bands" selection.
It can also be useful if you have a lower level CV moving around that will "capture" the EQ band once at a ceratin
level.
The Lock is set when switching to a new band, so upon returning to that band, the knob must move past old setting
before "capturing" focus and actual adjustment occurs.
Also, there's better level indication during EQ band adjustments that assists in knowing where the band was
previously set.
RGB disable on Dimmest LED setting:
If the LED's are dimmed to the bottom level, the RGB will no longer light on the Spectrum analyzer signals. This
is to prevent "LED Blindness"!
The EQ adjustments will still illuminate though (sorry!)
Coarser ZC and muting/smoothing:
There is now an option to turn off fine loop soft muting to experience a lot of clicking and buzzing that is taking
place behind the scenes! This isn't for everyone, but some do like the sharp sound that can be created.
G-Move becomes finer, as does PlayFX Fine Modes.
The ZC isn't completely removed but almost!
When crossing from forward to reverse (with option off) you will hear a brief buzz as the waveforms clash. This is
normal and even desired. If you don't like that in particular, then leave this option on.
PlayFX Fine Modes now respond to CV ranges:
If in PlayFX and in a Fine mode (tap P.SEL once in PlayFX) the ST/END, POS/SIZE, and GM/SIZE CV's with
control the Fine ranges Rather than ignore them.
ST/END: As the fine mode's range is defined by where the Start/End knobs were when entered, the CV range
is inside of this range. This enables remotely scrubbing through a sample using your favorite LFO pattern!
POS/SIZE: The POS is still full range under CV control. SIZE is now the top range set by where ever the Size
control was set upon entering Fine mode.
GM/SIZE: G-Move speed on GM is cut in half, so approximates "real time". SIZE range is 8X finer, so about 1/16
second max.
