3.79 firmware in files
2003-09-28 by colinfraser_com
Folks, v3.79 beta firwmare is in the files section at Yahoo. This adds a couple of new features. First is an extra menu for user config options, which you can access from the same page as the Sysex dumping. These are on/off values that modify the normal sequencer behaviour. Included so far are 'quick pattern select' and 'hold chain mutes'. With QPS active, playlist edit mode will automatically save the playlist and exit if you select a new pattern for a single step playlist. This can speed up pattern changes if you don't want to take advantage of multistep playlists. HCM will cause the track mute status to be preserved (and stored in all parts in a chain) as a part chain advances. Also added is note overdub record mode, where the step gate/tie status is preserved during record, but notes played or held on a midi controller will over-write the note and velocity value on active steps as they play. These features seem to work OK, but I haven't tested them a huge amount, hence the beta status. Let me know if you have any trouble with them. Cheers, Colin f
