1.5A makes the following updates. Please back up your The Darkest Timeline data via MIDI SysEx before installing this update.

  • Enigma, Jr.: Fixes a graphics offset issue in the right hemisphere
  • The Darkest Timeline: Adds gate length setting in the Setup Screen
  • Enigma: The Library now cannot be accessed nor auditioned while the song is playing. This allows you to freely move through the screens without interfering with playback in progress.

Hemisphere Suite 1.5's theme is the compositional use of shift registers. Its centerpiece is Enigma, a shift register (a.k.a. "Turing Machine") workstation. This release also adds RunglBook (a chaotic shift-register modulator based on Rob Hordijk's rungler circuit), "A"SR (a 256-step "analog" shift register delay), ShiftGate (a shift-register-based aleatoric gate/trigger sequencer), Enigma Jr., an applet that allows CV selection of Turing Machines, and more.

Here's the complete list of updates for 1.5:

  • Significantly changed the operation of Screen Saver mode. The calibration option now sets the number of minutes, not seconds, until the screen saver activates. The screen saver is now "screen blanking," and always simply darkens the screen. You can blank the screen at any time by long-pressing the Up button.
  • Added full app Enigma, a shift register (a.k.a. "Turing Machine") workstation that allows you to curate a library of up to 40 Turing Machine-like registers and build four track songs by chaining them together. The philosophy involves the use of shift registers as repeatable compositional elements rather than ephemeral improvisational elements. (https://github.com/Chysn/O_C-HemisphereSuite/wiki/Enigma)
  • LowerRenz: Fixed issue that potentially caused a crash when both hemispheres had LowerRenz selected.
  • Carpeggio: Standardized tuning and note values, to A=440Hz, C4=0V, C4=MIDI Note #60
  • Added applet Enigma Jr., which allows real-time composition (via CV) using your Enigma library. (https://github.com/Chysn/O_C-HemisphereSuite/wiki/Enigma,-Jr.)
  • Fixed issue that caused quantizer latency to be higher than it should have been.
  • Added applet RunglBook, a chaotic shift-register modulation based on Rob Hordijk's rungler circuit. (https://github.com/Chysn/O_C-HemisphereSuite/wiki/RunglBook)
  • Added applet Squanch, a Shifting Quantizer/Adder. (https://github.com/Chysn/O_C-HemisphereSuite/wiki/Squanch---Shifting-Quantizer)
  • Added applet "A"SR, an analog shift register delay. In one hemisphere, it has two outputs; when selected in two hemispheres, the buffer is linked and uses all four outputs. (https://github.com/Chysn/O_C-HemisphereSuite/wiki/%22A%22SR)
  • Added applet ShiftGate, a dual shift register-based aleatoric gate or trigger sequencer (https://github.com/Chysn/O_C-HemisphereSuite/wiki/ShiftGate)
  • Removed References, the last of the original Ornament and Crime apps. Most of References's salient functionality is incorporated into Hemisphere applets, specifically Voltage and Tuner.
  • Envelope Follower: Added per-channel configuration for Follow and Duck functions.
  • MIDI In/MIDI Out: Log is now accessed with button push rather than screen saver activation (because screen saver is no longer a thing; see above).
  • ShiftReg: Increased low range to 0V for better support of digital oscillators.
  • Sequence5: Same as above
  • Minor font changes to improve readability

Please note that this software is REPLACEMENT FIRMWARE for Ornament and Crime. All original Ornament and Crime apps 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.
