Hemisphere Suite 1.6
Important Note: Hemisphere Suite 1.6 reconfigures the module's EEPROM (long-term storage) memory to make room for Vector Oscillator user waveforms. Please take steps to save your work in progress via MIDI sysex dumps before performing this update. This is done by long-pressing the right encoder for each app while recording with sysex librarian software. If you don't have anything you need to save, you can disregard this note.
The theme for Hemisphere Suite 1.6 is timing. Its centerpiece is the introduction of the Vector Oscillator, a waveform generator that allows you to create custom waveforms with up to twelve level/value segments, and then use those waveforms within applets as LFOs, envelope generators, and one-shot or cycling bi-polar modulators.
A full list of updates in 1.6 is here:
Nov. 9: Hemisphere 1.6C corrects an issue in which Tuner is not initialized in the correct hemisphere, another issue in which the FTM capture was not reversed for the Flip 180 version. The threshold for CV change detection was also raised, to reduce the effect of ADC noise. Additionally, waveform state saving was fixed for the Vector applets.
Nov. 1: Hemisphere Suite 1.6B corrects issues with VectorEG, including (1) When a new waveform was selected, the waveform started at the value of the last segment rather than at 0V, and (2) When a square/pulse waveform was selected, release did not work properly.
Oct. 30: Hemisphere Suite 1.6A corrects an issue that broke clock multiplication in ClockDiv and sync in Vector LFO, and an issue that causes the last step to be played twice in both TrigSeqs.
Oct. 29: Hemisphere Suite 1.6:
- Added Metronome applet, a master clock system that can run in the background to clock other applets, so that Hemisphere Suite sequencers (and other applets) no longer require an external clock. (https://github.com/Chysn/O_C-HemisphereSuite/wiki/Metronome)
- Tuner: Now allows Tuner to function in the right hemisphere when the screen is flipped.
- Added Vector Waveform Editor, a full app that allows you to build and audition Vector Waveforms. (https://github.com/Chysn/O_C-HemisphereSuite/wiki/Waveform-Editor)
- Added VectorLFO, a dual LFO applet that uses custom and preset Vector Waveforms. (https://github.com/Chysn/O_C-HemisphereSuite/wiki/VectorLFO)
- Added VectorEG, a dual uni-polar envelope generator applet that uses custom and preset Vector Waveforms. (https://github.com/Chysn/O_C-HemisphereSuite/wiki/VectorEG)
- Added VectorMod, a dual bi-polar modulator that uses custom and preset Vector Waveforms as either one-shot or cycling modulation sources. (https://github.com/Chysn/O_C-HemisphereSuite/wiki/VectorMod)
- Added VectMorph, a morph controller applet that uses custom and preset Vector Waveforms. (https://github.com/Chysn/O_C-HemisphereSuite/wiki/VectMorph)
- Added Boots 'n Cats (BootsNCat), a simple bass/snare drum synthesizer with stereo audio outputs. (https://github.com/Chysn/O_C-HemisphereSuite/wiki/BootsNCat)
- Added Setup/About app, which allows easy access to calibration and EEPROM reset functions, and checking the firmware version. (https://github.com/Chysn/O_C-HemisphereSuite/wiki/Setup)
- Removed bootup splash screen so that the module is immediately ready for use on power-up.
- Trending: Added dual operation, so it now accepts input on CV 1 and CV 2, and each operation and output is independent.
- Trending: Added change detection, which emits a trigger when a signal has changed.
- TrigSeq/TrigSeq16: Fixed issue that caused the first step to not play
- "A"SR: Fixed scale selection buffer overread crash
