Changes since V1.51. (as of V1.51s)
Important note: Multi program, which is created or saved by V1.51s or
higher, cannot be loaded in previous versions. (Because of FX parameters
changes)
* Audition-From-Disk function. This is now available on F4 in the Load page.
- direct audition WAV files from FAT32/FAT16 HD
- direct audition WAV files from ISO CDs
- direct audition AKAI samples from S1000/S3000 disks
- audition samples from foreign disks (Roland/EMU): sample is loaded in RAM
for auditionning
Note: It is possible that incorrect sound appears from slow speed device
like USB ZIP, USB Flash, etc, especially when auditioning 96KHz stereo
sample.
* Change FX Gain Structure
- improvements to FX send level
- FX return level range increased by 12dB
- display FX Return Level in dB in FX / MIX
(for compatibility, Multi created with previous OS will default to -12dB)
* Improvements to the GOTO function (now behaves as MPC3000)
- pressing GOTO twice locates to the previous locate point
- cursor retains previous position
* Improvements to auto-selection of current Program and current Sample
- Program selected in PROGRAM mode:
>From MAIN, Program assigned to the Part of the current Track (if Out is set
to PART)
>From MULTI or PART MIXER, Program assigned to current the Part
- Sample selected in SAMPLE mode:
>From PROGRAM, Sample assigned to the current KeyGroup
>From PAD Mixer, Sample assigned to the current Pad
* Improvements to COPY TO function in SEQ EDIT
- Copy&Paste Data window now retains Copy Range and Pad/Notes selection
* Improvements to Sequencer Sync to MIDI clock.
The sequencer is now no longer quantised to when MIDI clock arrives.
* Improvements to SLICE SAMPLE and Beat Calculation in Sample mode
- sequence can only be generated to an unused track (prevents overwriting
existing sequence)
- new sequence tempo uses sample's BPM setting
- new sequence is looped automatically to the length of sliced sample
* Limit Sequence file renaming to 16 chars in disk UTILITY
* Improvements to loading items with names longer than 20 chars.
* Option to Spin-Down Hard Drive in LOAD page
* Change to PLAY START key in Sequence Loop mode:
- PLAY START always plays from the start of the Sequence
- SHIFT+PLAY START plays from the start of the loop
* Improved timing at the sequence change when "Reset Q-LINK on sequence
change" is ON
* Improve LFO "desync" (LFO SYNC OFF)
* Added Direct access from MISC. mode to
- Sync window (with added Sync ON/OFF softkey)
- Auto-Punch window (with added Auto-Punch ON/OFF softkey)
- Metronome window (with added Metronome ON/OFF softkey)
- Tempo window (with added Tempo Changes ON/OFF and Seq/Master softkeys)
Fixes:
* Sample Trim points restored incorrectly when Loop is not set (One Shot)
and trim points are inside loop. Fixed
Please note that due to a limitation in the standard WAV file format, Loop
points are only stored if the sample mode is set to LOOP. This is not a bug.
* Aftertouch was ignored for 16-levels tuning when it should only be ignored
for 16-levels velocity. Fixed
* NOTE OFF or TOGGLE play trigger was waiting until end of Release to start
sample. Fixed
* REPLACE Paste acted as MERGE if Clipboard/Library copied using ALL Pads in
SEQ EDIT of a DRUM track. Fixed
* "Keep or Retry" window didn't appear after QFX completed. Fixed
* Problems with some SCSI CD-ROMs and not correctly recognising files on a
ISO-9660 CD-ROM. Fixed
* Metronome count in at wrong rate when synced to MIDI clock. Fixed
* Sequence change problem when entering Overdub without pausing.Fixed
* "Stop" key does not work when empty sequence started by foot switch. Fixed
* Record margin display not working for Mono recordings. Fixed
* Possible synchronization drift in long sequences as MTC Slave. Fixed.
* Display glitch when changing tracks with cursor on Device Name. Fixed.
