Upgrading from 1.1.5

⚠ Coming from 1.1.5

1.4 is the first release since 1.1.5.1 and holds a lot (all of this holds for 1.4.1 and 1.5 too). Everything you saved loads and sounds as before, except where marked here:

• Projects are saved in a new format (FUN10). 1.4 opens every older project, but 1.1.5.x and older cannot open a project saved by 1.4 or later: they show its slot as empty (the data stays in flash until you save something into that slot there), and refuse a backup that holds one. User presets saved by 1.4 load on 1.1.5.x without the five new values (LFO 2's SYNC, TRIG and POL, QUANTIZE, SPREAD).
• ARP ORD now plays the held notes in the order you pressed them (up to 1.1.5 it played them as UP): a sound or project using ORD sounds different when its notes were pressed in another order than low to high.
• SAMPLE's PIANO was a lighter lo-fi piano in 1.4 and 1.4.1; since 1.5 it is the full piano of 1.1.5 again.
• The pages moved (Discussion #153): see Controls below. In short: SEQ is STEP and AUTOMATION; SEQ held is SEQ TOOLS on every page (it no longer opens SONG); GLO opens SONG; PHRASES is on SAVE; HOME goes round HOME, MIXER and CLOCK (BPM, swing, clock source); TUNE is MENU > AUDIO, MIDI IN (ROUT) is MENU > MIDI, and the USB state and CPU load are MENU > SYSTEM > INFO. REC held is the REC layer as before.
• SONG has a lane per track: older songs load with all four tracks on each row's slot and play as before; its knobs are KNOB 1 SECTION, 2 TRACK, 3 PAT, 4 REPS, and on SONG the white keys A3 B3 C4 D4 set the slot.
• A fresh start uses the HALL reverb (up to 1.1.5: ROOM). Saved projects keep their reverb TYPE.
• BASS+ (MENU > SPEAKER EQ) is softer: its added harmonics are at half the level, so a full-scale kick no longer distorts (#180).
• The web editor needs its update for the new features; use the one on the site.
