Tetra Voice OS 1.2.0: Tetra_Voice_1.2.0.syx
Some cool new stuff in this release, details below:
- Sequencer Slew added - Slew has been added as a Sequencer destination in Sequences 2 and 4 controlling the slew in Sequences 1 and 3 respectively
- Additional Arpeggiator Modes added: Now has Up, Down, Up/Down, Assign (hold the keys down), and Random for 1, 2 and 3 Octaves
- Individual Voice Volume control
- Multi Mode can now be controlled in full on the Tetra (details below)
- New clock mode: V1 Master
- Voice 1 Tempo is used as the master, similar to MIDI IN
- In Combo mode with V1 Master on, when you switch the program assigned to Voice 1 several parameters (Unison, A/B mode, Split, Arp and Seq settings and Play Button mode) are kept the same to keep the feel of the combo the same as you select new sounds
- New Global: Mode Lock = {Off, Program, Combo}
- Locks the Interface to either Program or Combo mode so you don't mistakenly switch to the other mode using the program/combo switch.
- When Mode Lock = Combo, the Tetra will start up in Combo mode
- Mopho Keyboard programs now handled correctly
- USB Code improved, should help stability and jitter with newer Operating Systems
- Arpeggiator can now be turned On and Off via NRPN
- LFO Sync to MIDI clock fixed
- Inc/Dec buttons keep pitch offset
- Pots act correctly in Passthru and Relative modes when the value they are controlling is changed by another source (eg., MIDI or an AP Encoder)
- MIDI Clock now being sent at all times in Combo mode using the Voice 1 Clock
- In Combo mode, play button behavior when one or more voices was in Normal and the rest in Toggle mode fixed
UI Details and Changes per mode:
Program Mode (Multi On):
- Current Voice displayed on the screen as M# in the upper right, similar to Combo mode
- Edit B now selects the next voice and cycles between voices 1 to 4
- All controls on the Tetra are locked to the active voice, including the play button
- The Global 'Write Basic Patch' writes the basic patch only to the active voice
- The Volume Pot controls the Preset Volume on the active voice. The Global Pot Mode setting controls this behavior, as per the Cutoff/Resonance pots
- The Tetra UI acts the same now whether Multi is on or off
- You can now change the program on each voice to other combo parts, which is the default behavior. When you are editing a single part of a combo on the name screen, the select encoder will change through combos 1-128, parts 1-4 incrementally.
- Changing a program will not stop the other voices from playing, but will stop the active voice
- You can change between the combo and program banks by holding down the inc/dec buttons
- Select Encoder and Inc/Dec buttons control whatever is on the screen. If you just changed the Pitch, Attack or Dec/Rel encoders and multiple parameters are displayed, using the Select encoder or Inc/Dec buttons will change all parameters
- Name editing has been added for individual parts in the combo
- While editing all voices, the volume pot controls the Master volume (MIDI CC#7). While editing a single voice, the volume pot controls only the preset volume of the active voice. The Global Pot Mode setting controls this behavior, as per the Cutoff/Resonance pots.
- Voices are no longer turned off when switching to and from global, or when switching between voices
- While in Single Voice Edit, the play button controls only the active voice. In V1-4 Edit in Unison, if any voices are playing, the play button turns them all off. If no voices are playing, it starts them all normally.
- Main Combo Editing V1-4
- Global Send set to NRPN
- Assigned Parameter Encoders send out NRPN on a single MIDI channel (AP 1 sends on the MIDI channel selected in the global settings, AP 2 sends on MIDI channel + 1, etc)
- Volume pot sends out CC#7 changes on all 4 channels
- All other controls send out a single NRPN on the main MIDI channel, per the Quad section in the manual
- Global Send set to CC
- Assigned Parameter Encoders send a CC out on a single MIDI channel
- Volume pot sends out CC#7 changes on all 4 channel
- Other controls send out 4 CC messages for each parameter changed
- Single Voice Editing
- Global Send set to NRPN
- Volume Pot sends out 1 NRPN for Preset Volume
- All other controls send out 1 NRPN as normal, on the MIDI channel of the active voice
- Global Send set to CC
- Volume Pot doesn't send anything
- Other controls send 1 CC if the parameter they are controlling has an assigned CC # on the MIDI channel of the active voice
