Spectralis 2 Version 1.50 Update
Dear Spectralis 2 User,
we are happy to announce, that finally a new Spectralis 2 version is ready to get installed in your Spectralis 2 synthesizer. The update procedure is described in detail in our forum:

The update contains a lot of bugfixes and some new features as well. The features and bug fixes are listed in chronical order below. The most important new features are multiple Spectralis Performance memories. A Performance memory contains songs, samples, sounds and a favorites bank. The default performance is the one, you are currently running - the files and folders in the root directory are the default Performance files.
But you can now create subfolders with the name PERFORMZ.### where ### is a number between 1 and 255. Such a folder can hold a complete different set with songfolders, samplesets, soundbanks etc. Use that new feature to create a LIVE set and a Studio set, or to test a new sampleset without the risk to overwrite your current sample files. Samplesets can now be offered together with example patterns and songs. The whole file managment becomes much easier and there is no song limit anymore. With up to 255 Performance folders, you simply create a new PERFORMZ.### folder when you are running out of song memories.
People can also start from scratch with an empty Spectralis 2 by just using a new PERFORMZ.### folder. The big advantage is - one can keep the factory content instead of deleting the content. One can always switch between his own data and the factory data.
Another great feature is the pattern selection via program changes. It#s much easier to integrate the Spectralis into a live setup if a master device or master keyboard can select the patterns of the Spectralis.
Some customers experienced problems with compact flash media. The Spectralis 2 now supports additional MBR/PBR configurations. The formatting procedure has been updated and allows formatting of corrupted or invalid MBR. If you still own a corrupted card that does not work anymore in your Spectralis please give the new formatting a try. Maybe the new firmware will bring you back an refurbished memory card
We hope, you enjoy the new featureset. Below you‘ll find all details about the new firmware:
2011-11-xx, V1.05A
- Mod: Wiping all Mac-Files (files and directories starting with .) from internal flash during startup and after unplugging USB cable.
- New: Browsing Subdirectories
- New: Deleting Files (use SHIFT while browsing)
- Fix: Part Trigger Mode only flashes once when Shift is activated
- Fix: Part Trigger Mode only saved for first 8 parts
- Fix: DSynth&Drum parts in Voice Trigger Mode playing even when muted when triggered from Sequencer.
- Fix: Arp may start playing 192th notes after a while (~5 minutes at 100BPM) when synced from the sequencer.
2011-12-06, V1.05B
- New: MIDI, Program Change on Channel 2..16 selects assigned QuickSound (1..32) on Parts 1..15
- New: MIDI, Program Change on Channel 1 selects next Pattern (only in Pattern Mode, does not save changed pattern, does not ask)
- New: Song Change must be acknowledged
2012-03-18, V1.05C
- Mod: Enhanced Media Format compatibility (all four partition entries in MBR, PBR in sector 0)
- Fix: Formatting of internal Flash-Drive working even with invalid MBR.
2013-04-07, V1.06A
- Mod: Support loading Performances from subdirectories (need to be named PERFORMZ.###, where ### is a three digit number between 1 and 255).
Currently active performance has to be selected from System Menu followed by a reboot.
- Fix: Since internal storage of long filenames was dropped no filename was recorded within the
soundreferences in patterns, consequently missing sounds in such patterns no longer enumerated.
Now short names are recorded in references and missing sounds are displayed even without recorded filename.
2013-04-09, V1.06B
- Mod: Changes in System-Configuration flushed to disk when System-Menu is closed (before there was a
timeout of about 6 seconds after changes).
- Mod: Performance Change now without reboot (only Samples reload, soundbank still loaded during first load).
2013-04-09, V1.10
- Mod: Performance now includes Favorites and Soundbank changes
2013-04-09, V1.11
- Mod: Part-Play does no longer re-initialize Soundlist (avoid resetting category) - New: QuickSound selection displays Sound Name in Overlay
2013-04-09, V1.50
- Mod: Instruments flushed when trying Firmware Update
- Mod: Performance Selection relocated in new Dialog "Memory and Performance Management" (Shift+EXIT)
