### 1.12.15 beta
### EEPROM VERSION 28
*** Warning!!!: This will clear your global save state if EEPROM version is different from your firmware***
-
- Moving to beta! Only bugfixes and very small features to be added.
-
- BugFix: Fixes crash when changing the arp pattern
-
- Euclidean Mode:
- - Mix page now quickly mutes/unmutes euclidean sequencers
- - Euclidean triggers now rendered to LEDs
- - Better display rendering while playing
- - Euclidean mutes and midifx slots now get saved/loaded
- - UI Messages for F1/F2 keys
- - Mix and Edit Modes:
- - - Hold F1: Mute Euclidean Sequencer
- - - Hold F2: Paste Euclidean Sequencer
- - - Hold F3: Cut Euclidean Seuqncer
- - - Euclidean Sequencer is automatically copied from last selected Euclidean Sequencer
-
- Arpeggiator:
- - Now keeps track of modified notes, so you can move the arp midifx to any position
- - Add MidiFX in front of it without stuck notes.
- - Arps all properly are syncing in Euclidean mode.
- - - Try using multiple arps on different Euclidean sequencers, change their parameters,
- - - mod & transpose patterns, rates, for fun and profit.
- - - works best if you set them to hold.
- - - Try putting a randomize midifx in front of arps and a scaler midifx after
-
- Transpose MidiFX:
- - Octave parameter now does stuff.
-
- MidiFX Mode:
- - Holding Aux now works in MidiFX mode.
- - Hold aux to quickly edit parameters
- - quick click the aux to exit MidiFX mode.
- - Double clicking a MidiFX slot can now be used to enter the MidiFX mode
- - - This is faster than holding(Which also still works)
### 1.12.14 alpha
### EEPROM VERSION 27
*** Warning!!!: This will clear your global save state if EEPROM version is different from your firmware***
-
- Adds Transpose MidiFX
-
- Adds octave distance param to arp. Determines how many semitones range should consider an octave.
- - Set to -12 to make the arp go fully downward.
- - Try using a small amount like +3 semitones combined with a scaler MidiFX after arp
-
- Scaler MidiFX now defaults to using the global scale. If Global Scale is enabled, changing the root and scale in params
- - changes the global ones.
- - Set Global Scale to false to force to a different scale.
-
- Arps will now send clock when started and stop clock once stopped.
- - If multiple arps are active, clock will be started with first arp and stopped with last arp.
- - Multiple arps will be synced to each other.
### 1.12.13 alpha
### EEPROM VERSION 26
*** Warning!!!: This will clear your global save state if EEPROM version is different from your firmware***
- Overlapping chord notes will not send note offs until both chords are released.
-
- Arp Improvements
- - Improves pattern playback while changing the held keys.
- - Default mode will work like Ableton or Matriarch arps.
- - Example, hold down CEGB, release G in second octave, will stay in second octave and play CEB.
- - If holding CEGB, and it plays C-E-G, then add an F, it will account for this and play B next
- - Previously, the note index of held notes would not change in this scenario.
- - So if you're at index 3 of CEGB, and it changes to CEFGB, the index would not be advance, and pattern would go back to F
### 1.12.11 alpha
### EEPROM VERSION 26
*** Warning!!!: This will clear your global save state if EEPROM version is different from your firmware***
- Adds custom chords to basic chords.
- - Change the chord type to the last one called "Custom"
- - Now there will be an additional page
- - Dial in up to 6 note offsets in semitones. Offset of "0" will play the Root Note of chord and will display as "R"
- - You can only play the root note in the first slot, otherwise "0" disables the chord note.
- - The first 4 notes will be modified by the balance parameter. Set balance to 4 white dudes to play all 4 notes.
- - The keyboard view either by F1 + Chord or right side in split mode can help show which notes are playing.
-
- Fixes display messages from aux quick-keys not displaying when in keyboard or basic chord pages.
-
- Slight arp improvements
### 1.12.10 alpha
### EEPROM VERSION 25
*** Warning!!!: This will clear your global save state if EEPROM version is different from your firmware***
- Quick arp fix
### 1.12.9 alpha
### EEPROM VERSION 25
*** Warning!!!: This will clear your global save state if EEPROM version is different from your firmware***
- Improves chord UI
- Fixes notes sometimes getting stuck on if changing chord parameters while also playing a chord.

- Adjust params in play mode to silently adjust.
### 1.12.8 alpha
### EEPROM VERSION 25
*** Warning!!!: This will clear your global save state if EEPROM version is different from your firmware***
- It's a surprise.
### 1.12.7 alpha
### EEPROM VERSION 25
*** Warning!!!: This will clear your global save state if EEPROM version is different from your firmware***
- Pots now send CC's in chord mode.
### 1.12.6 alpha
*** Warning!!!: This will clear your global save state***
- Improves chord mode
- Split UI Mode: Enabled by default
- Basic Chord Types
- - Each chord can be either basic or interval
- - Interval is like previous mode
- - Basic is a root note, chord type, octave, and balance
- - - Balance will change inversion of chord by either incrementing notes by octave, decrementing by an octave or playing all.
- - - Also changes the velocity of notes that are not the root note.
-
- Split UI:
- - Play normal keys on right side of keyboard
- - Play chords on the left
- - If the mode is in edit mode, you can quickly hold a basic chord and set the root note on the left.
- - - Only happens while holding the chord.
- - If in play mode, the right side does not modify the chord
-
- Each chord can have it's own Midi Channel and be set to a specific midi fx.
- Holding aux changes the MidiFX slot for the split keyboard.
- If you are wondering why the arpeggiator is not starting and stopping, it's because
- the chord you are playing is set to a different midifx index than what is selected in aux
- hold aux and select the midifx slot the chord is set to, then the arp hotkeys will work for
- that chord.
-
- The split keyboard can also have it's own midi channel.
-
- Cute animations
-
- Hold F1 + Chord to enter chord edit mode.
- This mode is different based on whether the chord is basic or an interval
- In basic mode you can play root chord notes and will see the notes of the chord light up.
-
- Default chord config is set to basic chords that are mapped with the root notes in C Major.
-
- While holding aux or a chord, the selected parameter can be quickly edited to avoid having to click encoder.
- - holding aux does the same in MI mode.
### 1.12.5 alpha
*** Warning!!!: This will clear your global save state if FW < 1.12.2***
- Improves the UI of the MidiFX

- - Turn arp mode to off then back on if this happens.
- - Recommend trying this with the euclidean sequencer.
- - MidiFX after the arp are fun and won't cause arp to be stuck on
### 1.12.1 arp preview
*** Warning!!!: Might clear your global save state***
- Adds the arpeggiator MidiFX
- Arpeggiator currently only works in MI mode.
