Encore une grosse mise à jour pour le Super Disting EX Plus

Une bonne dizaine de nouveauté dans cette update 1.13 qui amène de bonnes surprises dont un nouvel algorithme : Le Convolver.

On ne peut pas dire que les développeurs se tournent les pouces chez Expert Sleepers. Voilà pratiquement 6 mois que les mises à jour s’enchainent gonflant ce module d’un nombre impressionnant de possibilité ! Un bel exemple d’engagement.

Au menu le nouvel algorithme « Convolver » (sorte de réverbe à convolution étendue) testé ici :

Voici le restant des ajouts de cette mise à jour :

Ajout de la fonction Display Zoom en mode solo
Ajout d’options de filtre et de boucle d’effets externes à l’algorithme Augustus Loop
L’algorithme Poly Exciter dispose désormais également des nouveaux modes d’entrée et d’arpégiateur qui ont été ajoutés dans la version 1.12 aux algorithmes SD Multisample et Poly Wavetable
L’algorithme Poly Wavetable a désormais la possibilité d’utiliser des entrées comme Pressure au lieu de Gate (remplaçant essentiellement l’enveloppe de volume par une entrée VCA)
Les mappages MIDI prennent désormais en charge les messages d’aftertouch
L’algorithme SD Multisample prend désormais en charge l’indicateur de liste de lecture '-endLoopOnRelease’
Les algorithmes prenants en charge Scala et MTS prennent désormais en charge le chargement de dumps MTS à partir de la carte MicroSD
Les réglages Scala .scl et .kbm peuvent maintenant être envoyés au module via MIDI, permettant une itération en direct
Ajout d’un élément au menu pour enregistrer le dump des réglages MTS le plus récent reçu via MIDI sur la carte MicroSD
Toutes les communications SysEx utilisent désormais un ID SysEx, de sorte que plusieurs modules peuvent être adressés individuellement
Ajout du paramètre Afficher le paramètre SysEx
Si plusieurs changements de préréglage sont reçus via MIDI alors que le module est occupé (par exemple, chargement d’une table d’ondes), il n’effectue plus chaque changement de préréglage individuellement, mais saute directement au dernier

Le Super Disting EX Plus est disponible sur www.expert-sleepers.co.uk au tarif de 355 €.

Oui c'est particulièrement remarquable est appréciable. J'ai eu un problème avec mon disting, le gars me répondait en qq heures, m'envoyait des beta et au final m'a changé le module en moins d'une semaine.

C'est clairement un exemple pour tous les constructeurs/développeurs de synthés qu'ils soient modulaires ou non.

Simple exemple en spoiler à dérouler, leur travail sur 2021... Impressionnant !

• Added the Convolver algorithm.
• Added the single mode 'display zoom' feature.
• Added filter and external effects loop options to the Augustus Loop algorithm.
• The Poly Exciter algorithm now also has the new input and arpgeggiator modes that were added in version 1.12 to the SD Multisample and Poly Wavetable algorithms.
• The Poly Wavetable algorithm now has the option of using inputs as 'pressure' instead of 'gate' (essentially replacing the volume envelope with a VCA input).
• MIDI mappings now support aftertouch messages.
• The SD Multisample algorithm now supports the '-endLoopOnRelease' playlist flag.
• Algorithms that support Scala and MTS now support loading MTS dumps from the MicroSD card.
• Scala .scl and .kbm tunings can now be sent to the module over MIDI, allowing live iteration.
• Added a menu item to save the most recent MTS tuning dump received over MIDI to the MicroSD card.
• All SysEx communication now uses a SysEx ID, so multiple modules can be individually addressed.
• Added the 'Show SysEx parameter' setting.
• The accessibility support has been further developed.
• If multiple preset changes are received over MIDI while the module is busy (e.g. loading a wavetable) it no longer performs each preset change individually, instead jumping directly to the last one.
• Fixed a crash in the mappings menu when scrolling around between parameter 1 and the highest parameter.

2021

• The SD Multisample and Poly Wavetable algorithms have the following enhancements:
o Added more options for the 'Input mode' parameter, allowing multiple CV inputs per gate (for use with, for example, modules that output chords of CVs).
o Chord generation and arpeggiation are now independent. If multiple pitch CVs are provided per gate, the arpeggiator can use these pitches (instead of or as well as the generated chord).
o Added a new 'As Played' arpeggiator mode.
o There is now an option for the paraphonic gate ouptut to reflect whether there are any keys/gates held, rather than whether there are any voices playing.
• The SD Multisample algorithm has the following enhancements:
o The 'Env Time' parameter has been replaced by a full ADSR envelope, and the release fades are much smoother.
o The algorithm now has a built-in delay/echo effect.
o The algorithm now has a hi-fi style overall tone control.
o Added the 'Output spread' parameter.
o The 'Normalisation' parameter has been removed. Instead, the 'Gain' parameter has a much wider range.

• Autosave and manually saving a preset no longer interrupt audio.
• Incorporated disting mk4 firmware version 4.21 (and so adding the Low Pass Gate and Attenuverter/Offset algorithms).
• Delay time can now be set as a MIDI clock division in the Poly Wavetable, Poly Exciter, Granulator, and Multi FX algorithms.
• Added note range parameters to the SD Multisample algorithm.

• Added mix coefficient smoothing to the Matrix Mixer algorithm.
• Added end-of-cycle triggers and activate/inactive gate outputs to the Quad Envelope algorithm.
• Extended the MIDI mapping system to dual mode algorithms.
• Fixed a problem in the SD 6 Triggers algorithm where looping samples would not be correctly initialised to those set by the parameters until retriggered.
• Fixed a problem that would cause the Looper algorithm to immediately enter record when loaded as a startup preset.
• Fixed a problem where the Audio Playback with Crossfade algorithm would trigger a playback cycle when the folder was changed even if the gate mode was 0 and the gate CV was low.
• Fixed an issue where loading a Poly Wavetable preset that used wavetable 0 would not load the wavetable.
• The SD 6 Triggers algorithm now allows specification of a different sample folder for each voice.
• Added the ability to disable trigger inputs in the SD 6 Triggers algorithm (while leaving the voice active for MIDI/I2C triggering).
• The streaming of samples from the SD card by the SD Multisample and SD 6 Trigger algorithms has been improved to cope better with under-performing SD cards.
• MIDI bank select messages are now supported for preset change by MIDI program change messages.
• Fixed the behaviour of the 'Offset' parameter in the Dual Sample and Hold algorithm when using Z as the signal input.
• Fixed the displayed millisecond value of sample offsets in the SD 6 Trigger algorithm.

• Added new arpeggiator patterns to the SD Multisample and Poly Wavetable algorithms.
• Added the ability to enable Chord mode on a per gate basis to the SD Multisample and Poly Wavetable algorithms.

• Dual mode presets now store whether the Z knob has been overridden by MIDI.
• Added functions to save and load all dual mode presets to/from the SD card.
• Added support for viewing and editing Mappings via the preset editor tool.
• Added an option for stereo operation to the Bit Crusher algorithm.

• Some parameters, notably the sample folders in the SD Multisample and SD 6 Triggers algorithms, and the wavetable in the Poly Wavetable and Dream Machine algorithms, now wait for the user to confirm their choice (by pressing the encoder) before changing.
• The Looper algorithm now stores the loop play/reverse/octave down states in its presets.
• Modified the 'G' in the large font used by the quantizer algorithms to make it more distinct from the 'C'.
• In dual mode, the help texts for the two sides now have independent scroll positions.
• Dual mode algorithms now send MIDI CCs on parameter changes and preset loads (if enabled in the settings).
• Processing of MIDI 'soft thru' now continues at all times (rather than stopping e.g. during WAV folder load).

• Added a function to erase a preset in flash.
• Added MIDI activity indicators to the default single mode display.
• Added an 'output key' display to complement the existing 'input key' (when holding 'V').
• Added the 'Gate CV threshold' setting.
• Added a setting so that when a parameter is mapped using MIDI learn, any other mappings using that CC are disabled.
• Dual mode algorithms with Tap Tempo (the Clockable LFO, Delays, and Envelopes) now store the tapped tempo in presets (including the autosaved state).
• The MIDI Playback algorithms no longer output MIDI if the MIDI transmit channel is set to zero.
• Fixed the 'Save all presets to SD card' function, which was only saving the first 31 presets.
• Fixed a problem which could cause all kinds of insiduous failures but mostly was responsible for SD playback modes stuttering and breaking up.
• Fixed a problem in the Poly Wavetable algorithm where adjusting release time while notes were playing could result in the currently playing notes having extremely long release times.
• Fixed a problem when loading a preset for the Poly Wavetable algorithm where it would not correctly resolve the wavetable if the contents of the wavetables folder differed from when the preset was saved.
• Fixed a problem where loading a mapping for the Poly Wavetable algorithm would disable some CV mappings.
