1. The soft pedal functionality has been fixed in the 2 new piano programs (#1 "Pro Piano" and #7 "Big Pop Piano").
2. Programs #8 "Blues Piano" and #10 "Upright Piano" do not have soft pedal as part of the program, by design.

### KUF 2.21 - 4/2/13

(containing: O/S v2.20; Objects v2.21.0; Boot Loader v1.48)

1. Program 33 "Chapel Organ" has been updated.

### KUF 2.20 - 3/15/13

(containing: O/S v2.20; Objects v1.25; Boot Loader v1.48)

1. Very low velocity playing does not make any sound (better emulating the behavior of a real piano).
2. Default left hand split transposition is +12 semitones (1 octave up).
3. Program 1 is now "Pro Piano" (new; the previous #1 Grand Piano has been moved to #2)
4. Program 2 is now "Grand Piano" (was #1; the previous #2 Bright Piano has been replaced)
5. Program 7 is now "Big Pop Piano" (new; the previous #7 Piano+Str has been replaced)

### KUF v1.18 - 9/12/11

(containing: O/S v1.16; Objects v1.21; Boot Loader v1.48)

1. The default split key has been changed to F#3.
2. New Hard reset method: Holding down C8 (key 88) while powering on the unit will automatically do a "hard reset" and reboot. This is an added feature. The old methods still work too.
3. "Rec Rhythm: On/Off" function has been added to functions menu. (see included addendum for details).
4. When doing Splits and Layers the previously selected parameters - voice, transposition and volume, will be used (remembered from the last time a split or layer was done). These parameters will go back to defaults on power cycle.
5. Bugfix - sometimes the sostenuto pedal could be reversed on boot-up. In the earlier version, if you had your foot down on the pedal during boot-up also it would reverse the pedal (not necessarily a bug). None of this happens in the new version.
