MIDI Processor Modules

• The On parameter of MIDI Processors is now more performance-oriented, meaning that even when turned off, they continue to monitor input and update their internal state as needed.

• This prevents them from sending unnecessary note-off messages when turned off.

• For example, turning off Euclid, Chord, or Transposer releases the held notes and retriggers the input note-on events.

• Turning them back on sends the corresponding note-off events for the inputs and retriggers the output.

• The new behaviour makes them more robust and user-friendly while helping prevent stuck notes.

• Updated modules so far: Euclid, Chord, Control Change, Groove, MIDI Channel, MIDI Delay, Note Chance, Note Length, Note Pulse, Overlap Remover, and Velocity.

• Modules to be updated in future versions: Arpeggiator, Note Range, Note Stack, Quantiser, Scale, and Strummer.

• Transposer: Adjusting the Semitones parameter now releases held notes and triggers the new transposed notes.

• Note Event: Removed the redundant On parameter.

• Note Hold: Removed the redundant On parameter.

• Note Hold: Fixed an issue where the Hold button wouldn't always display the correct state when modulated.

• Note Pulse: Fixed the Sync parameter defaulting to 4 bars instead of 1/4.

Chord Module

• The Note On and Pitch parameters now retrigger note-on and note-off events when their values change.

• This allows adjusting the parameters and hearing changes instantly without needing to feed the module a new note-on event.

• Modulating these parameters can lead to interesting algorithmic compositions.

• It's recommended to place an Overlap Remover module after the Chord module to prevent earlier note-off events from interrupting the latest notes.

• Velocity parameters now use percentage units, controlling how much the note velocity moves toward its minimum or maximum value: -100% moves fully toward 1, +100% fully toward 127.

Note Length Module

• The Length parameter was renamed to Time.

• The new Length parameter adds 3 modes, supported only in Note-On trigger mode: Min, Fixed, and Max.

• In Fixed mode, the module behaves as before.

• Min mode ensures notes last at least as long as the specified value, while Max mode ensures they don't exceed it.

• The Sync parameter now supports up to 16 bars.

• The module is now more compact.

Oscillator Modules

• Improved phase control in DS Oscillator, FM Operator, VA Oscillator, and VPS Oscillator.

• Phase parameter is now updated in real-time instead of only on note-on.

• Can be modulated at slow rates for vibrato or at audio rates for custom PM synthesis.

• Phase range shifted from 0º…360º to -180º…+180º, simplifying bipolar modulation.

• Added Trigger parameter to control phase on note-on: Free, Retrig, Legato, or Random.

• Free: ignores note-on events.

• Retrig: resets phase to the Phase parameter value.

• Legato: resets phase unless another note is already held.

• Rand: assigns a random initial phase.

• Updated module UIs to support the new features.

• FM Operator: Level parameter range expanded from 0%…100% to -100%…+100%.

Reset-to-Zero Envelope

• The Amp Envelope module gained a new Reset parameter for controlling reset-to-zero behaviour.

• Supports three modes: Off, On, or 1 ms.

• Off: On note-on, the envelope restarts from its current value.

• On: On note-on, the envelope restarts from zero.

• 1 ms: Delays audio by 1 ms and fades it to silence before restarting from zero, enabling clickless voice stealing common in synthesisers.

Other Changes

• Lane Presets: Add, Insert, and Replace Lane actions now create a new lane with a chosen module in one step.

• Module Categories: Insert and Replace submenus now show symbols next to each category.

• Noise Module: Renamed the Noise Oscillator module to Noise.

• Pitch Oscilloscope: Fixed an issue where high-pitched waveforms were sometimes graphed incorrectly.

• Clipper: Added the "-0.3 dB" preset to the Peak parameter.

• Drag-and-Drop: Fixed an issue on iOS where dropping below the last lane didn't work correctly.

• Factory Presets: The new "2-Note Symphony" and "Evolving Chord" presets in the MIDI FX group showcase the new features.

• Factory Presets: Added the "Based" preset to the Bass group.

• Factory Presets: The total number of presets just passed 200.
