Hemisphere Suite 1.4

This release focuses largely on implementing user scales, but that's pretty much just a sub-theme of a wider ranging set of updates. In most cases, there shouldn't be compatibility issues between 1.3 and 1.4; but read the important note for The Darkest Timeline.

This is the last release of the summer. The 1.5 release is scheduled for September 28, 2018.

Special thanks, while I'm at it, to the folks keeping up with Hemisphere Suite on the MuffWiggler forum. Their feedback has been amazingly valuable, and they are directly responsible for many of the updates cited below.

Here are the changes for 1.4:

  • New full application: Scale Editor. Scale Editor is a standalone editor and manager for user scales, which can be used in various places throughout Hemisphere Suite (https://github.com/Chysn/O_C-HemisphereSuite/wiki/Scale-Editor).
  • There's Scala-to-Hemisphere Suite web-based converter to turn Scala files into Scale Editor system exclusive files (http://www.beigemaze.com/scala)
  • New full application: The Darkest Timeline 2.0. This is a ground-up rewrite of The Darkest Timeline, which turns it into a MIDI sequencer, and adds various other refinements and features (https://github.com/Chysn/O_C-HemisphereSuite/wiki/The-Darkest-Timeline-2.0). That Important Note You've Heard About: The Darkest Timeline 2.0 will not use in-module data from version 1. So if you have anything you want to keep, save it via SysEx dump before upgrading. The new version will accept SysEx files created by the prior version.
  • Captain MIDI: Now identifies SysEx from other Hemisphere Suite applications for your convenience.
  • Captain MIDI: Added CC#74 (y-axis, a.k.a. slide) for support of MPE 3-axis controllers.
  • Captain MIDI: Added support of MIDI beat clock at four resolutions, including 24ppqn.
  • Captain MIDI: Don't miss the sample Setup files, included as a download on this here very page!
  • Turing Machine: Added scale selction, including user scales, for the quantized output.
  • Added Tuner applet, with programmable A4 frequency, for tuning up your oscillators (https://github.com/Chysn/O_C-HemisphereSuite/wiki/Tuner).
  • Scope: Got some display upgrades, including showing BPM at 4ppqn, and showing CV input in Volts.
  • Scope: Improved range selection for better fine-tuning.
  • TrigSeq: A gate a CV 1 causes the A/C and B/D outputs to be swapped, allowing you to effectively switch the pattern via CV.
  • TrigSeq16: Same upgrade as above
  • Game of Life: Has been retired. (https://github.com/Chysn/O_C-HemisphereSuite/wiki/Conways's-Game-of-Life-(Retired))
  • Gated VCA: The B/D output is now reverse gated instead of simply always active, to provide greater flexibility.
  • Added Dual Schmitt Trigger applet, comparator that provides hysteresis (https://github.com/Chysn/O_C-HemisphereSuite/wiki/Schmitt-Trigger).
  • Added Binary Counter applet, which takes four logic inputs (high or low) and provides a binary-summed output and a count output (https://github.com/Chysn/O_C-HemisphereSuite/wiki/Binary-Counter).
  • Hemisphere: Replaced the Audio category with a Logic category, which is a way more common category in Hemisphere.
  • Added Envelope Follower applet (https://github.com/Chysn/O_C-HemisphereSuite/wiki/Envelope-Follower).
  • Dual Quantizer: Added diatonic root setting to each channel.
  • Added Voltage applet, a dual gate-activated fixed-voltage emitter (https://github.com/Chysn/O_C-HemisphereSuite/wiki/Voltage).
  • ADSR EG: Extended range to reduce attack time at lower values.
  • Palimpsest: Added CV control for Compose and Decompose.
  • Bow Tie Sequential: Added length setting, which replaced the navigation.
  • Added a Front Panel Designer document for the official Hemisphere panel!
  • Various UI and functional refinements.

Please note that this software is REPLACEMENT FIRMWARE for Ornament and Crime. All existing Ornament and Crime apps (except for References) will be removed, as will all data for these apps. Please see the Wiki (https://github.com/Chysn/O_C-HemisphereSuite/wiki) for a list of what you get instead. You'll also find installation instructions here.
