3rd Wave OS version 1.4 new in this release: - editable favorite lists for improved preset navigation. total of 10 lists, each with max 50 presets. Hit the favs button from the main program screen and add the current program to one of the lists - hold lfo or env buttons to set destination, similar to mod matrix UI - audio input now routed through both filters + amp envelope, see audio in mix param in misc settings - global param "Midi send arp notes" to enable midi transmission of arpeggios - turning off HOLD will no longer turn off notes being held down, for smoother arp playing when sustain pedal is set to pressed hold on/off mode - fix for random midi transmission dropout via midi din - adjustments for noisy key switches observed by customers, would cause high velocity note ons when key held down between off and on, or released slowly - fix for pop/click/noise phase shift observed at beginning of voice on, most noticeable on sine oscillator with unison on - fix for key to waves with reverse set to ON, "Use upper wavetable" must be on for replication of PPG patches - master volume now affects volume of wavemaker audio playback - many fixes for midi multimbral mode CC, with midi local control off - adjustment to reverb output to address distortion - fix for midi sustain pedal when controlling with pedal with reversed polarity - displaying the osc you are viewing in wave envelope UI bug fixes since version 1.0: - fix for midi program change via midi din - fix for mod source and destination button hold - fix for elusive stuck notes - fix for tempo drifts in sequencer and arp - fixes for midi clock sync + song position pointer - improvements to volume potentiometer to have smooth fade out - improvements to analog waveforms on low notes - part clear in sequencer - envelope repeat - improvements to velocity precision for 3rd Wave keyboard - velocity curve still needs work - improvements to sawtooth analog model - improvements to potentiometer precision - synthplex update: slightly wider dead zone for detent pots + fix for usb drive not mounting on latest Mac OS on certain hubs - unison + arp settings now editable per part - global setting MIDI multitimbral mode to control parts on separate MIDI channels - reverse mode for osc key to waves setting, to replicate ppg behavior - improvements to Circuit Drift: envs, filters, fine tuning follow a set of repeatable changes + other suggestions - fixes for multitimbral playback in sequencer - fix to spatial panning wraparound to always get movement - fix for arp start with midi sync - fix for setting mod destinations per part - fix for note hang when disconnecting sustain pedal in certain configs - fix for midi active sensing message, Yamaha Montage issue - fix for issue in analog waveforms recently introduced, especially in A04, supersaw waveform - fix for envelope sustain modulation - fixes for curcuit drift, analog filter cutoff and resonance per part - fix for sawtooth pulse width - new velocity and pressure curve/settings - fix for amp env + velocity settings - fixes for wavetable maker crashing bug after making multiple tables - added tenths place decimal for tempo - unison chord mode, will not erroneously activate for 1 note + ui update to show part for unison settings - Noise input setting honored for wave maker - LPF velocity ui now says velocity to cutoff or velocity to env depending on the velo to env setting in LPF misc - More unison key assign options for no retriggering + added legato setting - Display error messages if failure to read the wav file for wavemaker - New ARP latch option for HOLD. With HOLD on and this setting set to "chord", it will replace the notes of the previous chord instead of adding to arpeggio when you play chords - Another bug fix for elusive stuck note issue that you may have encountered - Bug fix for midi clock sync that was causing issues with effects clock sync setting, was erroneously setting to very low bpm for an instant at the beginning of playback - Added display brightness setting in Global menu - Added "pass thru" pot mode setting in the Global menu. With pot mode set to pass thru, you have to move the pot past the current saved value before it triggers an update to the setting. - fix for wave env release point issues - bug fix for glide in unison legato mode - no longer restarting arp timing on a new chord when latch mode is chord and hold is on - lfo rate encoder now controls note value when sync is on instead of extra param in misc menu - bug fixes for switching between usb midi on/off in global controls (midi in cable and midi out cable settings) - no longer allowing all 3 oscillators to be set to supersaw due to cpu limits - toned down filter cutoff variation for circuit drift - improvements to wavemaker algorithm and ui for pitch on/off and wave sensitivity - new multipart button behavior (double-press to edit) - wave surfer control goes negative + ui update to indicate upper wavetables - unison chord mode is now per part + displays chord in ui under number of voices - added arp transpose control - fix so release does not play out on new program after switching programs - fix for trippy wave offset animation (blue box) in waveform viewer screen caused by screensaver - pressing keyboard key now deactivates screensaver - fix for unison screen to work with show mode (hold COMPARE button) - fix for sequencer count-in to enable when controlling sequencer with midi sync and DAW - fix for negative LFO amounts - fix for pan mod + effect param mods per part - fix for midi clock sync arp timing when clock is constantly provided without start, stop commands from external controller - fix for usb midi off setting - fix for unison legato mode to smooth out key velocity changes to prevent clicky sound - update wavemaker ui to say pitch instead of noise in encoder description - Serum wavetable compatibilty with wave maker - Fix for USB connectivity timing issue that affected majority of ports on Mac Studio and some usb extenders - Fix for echoplex audio corruption, crash issue observed by scrolling through programs in bank 2 - Fixes for midi NRPN transmission - Fix for clearing polyaftertouch values when switching between polyaftertouch and non-polyaftertouch controller - Fix for 3rd Wave keyboard issue causing super short double-trigger notes when keys are played quickly and are not let up fully - New legato slide mode in unison, where notes glide only on overlapping notes - Update to filename for exporting programs to USB drive, now using bank and program number instead of file counter. TO LOAD A NEW OS: 1. Connect your 3rd Wave to your computer, (Windows or Mac), via the USB connector on the back of the Synth. 2. Once connected the 3rd Wave will show up as an external drive 3. Copy the "ldr" file into the firmware folder on the 3rd Wave. 4. Once the copy is finished, press the global key on the 3rd Wave and then the left most encoder knob above the display to go to the "Firmware Update" selection 5. Use the second encoder from the left to select "Go" 6. The screen will now show "Firmware file: N/A", it will load the filename after a slight pause or press the refresh button at the bottom of the screen. 7. The display will now show the name of the file that you placed in the firmware folder. 8. Eject the 3rd Wave drive from your computer first then disconnect the usb cable from the back of the synthesizer. 9. Press "OK" at the bottom right. 10. The display will tell you when it is finished updating. 11. Once the display indicates that it is finished, re-boot the synthesizer.
