Sujet Os 2.01

Citation : MicroWave Firmware 2.0 Release

Here is an overview of the most important new features of
the MicroWave 2.0 Firmware Release:

- More than 25, mostly algorithmic Wavetables
have been added. In addition to that, the MicroWave now
supports up to 24 user-programmable algorithmic Wavetables,
so called UPAWs.

- 6 new Voice Allocation Modes have been added, including
Mono Retrigger and Single Trigger modes.

- Fingered Portamento and Glissando is now available in all
Voice Allocation Modes.

- New sound parameters: Oscillator and noise levels are now
indepently modulatable, LFOs now have Sample & Hold function,
LFO 2 can now generate a phase-shifted output of LFO 1 and
Midi Clock rate now usable as modulation source.

- New SysEx Functions such as Store, Compare and Recall Functions
for Multi and Sound programs. Button and Dial commands have
been added to allow complete remote control. Realtime Tuning
and Velocity table edit is now supported too.

- Many minor improvements, such as automatic conversion of Program,
Wavetable, Wave, Tuning table and Velocity table numbers when
copying complete memory to or from card.

What is new in Version 1.40 compared to versions 1.00 thru 1.30 ?

- some minor bugfixes

- Improved Program selection
While holding down the <Program Up> button, pressing the <Program down>
button will increase the program number in steps of ten. Same applies for
decreasing the program number by first pressing <Program down> button.

- Panic function handling
Panic function will now be executed by pressing and holding <Mode> button
and then pressing <Program down> button.

- Higher oscillator frequencies
The highest frequency for OSC1 and 2 is now about 8.6 kHz, in old versions
it was only 6.5 kHz. The maximum frequency of OSC3 is about 4.3 kHz except
OSC2 is synced to OSC3, in this case it is about 3.6 kHz. Note that in old
systems, OSC3 frequency was always limited to max 3.2 kHz.

- Assign modes for the arpeggiator
Notes are played in the order they are played, up to ten notes are memorized.
In addition, the pattern will be repeated in the desired range of octaves :

[A.UP] Assign mode, octaves upwards
[A.dn] Assign mode, octaves downwards
[A.AL] Assign mode, octaves alternating

- LFO1 can be synced to MIDI clock
This is achieved by selecting one of three additional waveforms :

[tr.C] triangular wave, clocked
[SA.C] sawtooth wave, clocked
[PL.C] Pulse wave, clocked

Once a clocked waveform has been selected, the speed will be displayed
in musical terms, eg. [2b ] means a full LFO cycle needs two bars of a
4/4 time, [16_] stands for a dotted 16th note, [ 8 ] for an 1/8 note and
so on. If the arpeggiator is used, the LFO is synced to the internal clock,
except the arp itself is synced to incoming MIDI clocks.
