Past Release Notes

## OS Version 2.10 Release Notes

> CAUTIONS:

> Content created with v2.00 is not backwards compatible to older software versions. Content created with a SP4 older than v2.00 is of course forward compatible with 2.00.

> SETUP MODE:

> > Features:

> > - Edit Setup: the Sustain pedal input of the SP4 supports a dual pedal. Previously the '2nd pedal' (FtSw2) was not programmable and fixed as sostenuto. Now you can edit the function of FtSw and assign it to other MIDI controller functions.

> > Fixes/Improvements:

> > - Setups attempting to use more than 1 KB3 programs were not respecting the KB3 channel properly. The KB3 in the higher zone was the one sounding, instead of the one assigned to the KB3 channel.
> > - Edit Setup: AuxSendLvl value -1 now displayed as "Prog".
> > - Edit Setup: Modwheel destination value -1 now displayed as "None".

> PROGRAM MODE:

> > Features:

> > - Monophonic programs with portamento notes now keep gliding when sustained by the sustain pedal.

> > Fixes/Improvements:

> > - Assigned Modwheel control in #63 DefaultSetup to MWheel.
> > - Keymap #482 (GM Orch Kit) - Fixed volume problem on D#5.
> > - Keymap #483 (GM Applause) - Fixed a problem in where it was pointing to missing/wrong samples.
> > - Keymap #275 (Vibes) - Fixed tuning.
> > - Fixed a problem with Reverse Sample Playback on unloop samples.

> > Note: Programs use Keymaps (not visible in the user-interface). The above keymap fixes will effect those programs that use them (Drum kits and Vibes).

> GLOBAL MODE:

> > Fixes/Improvements:

> > - SP4-7 ONLY - New parameter: KMap (Key Action Map) effects the velocity response of the black keys and can be set to either:

> >   A: LWA76 (default)
> >   B: LK76

> >   If your SP4-7 serial number (S/N) is earlier than C3811S5N1370 then we recommend that you set this parameter to "B". Otherwise we recommend to leave it as A (default).

> GLOBAL MODE:

> > Features:

> > - New Load method: "Load [fill]?" - for use when loading PC3/LE/K series programs - loaded programs fill the User bank sequentially starting from the lowest available ID on upward, skipping any occupied locations.

> >   Note: Only one file may be loaded at a time. The file may itself contain multiple programs. To load more than one file, separate "Load [fill]?" operations must be performed.

> > - Name change: "Load All?" renamed "Load [overwrite?]" - this function is used for loading back in memory backups (.SPX files) created using the "Save All?" function. Performing a "Load [overwrite?]" erases the User bank replacing its contents with that of the loaded file.

> > Fixes/Improvements:

> > - Greatly improved ease of importing PC3/LE/K series programs. Previously several steps were required to get things to work. Now it is a straightforward procedure using the newly added "Load [fill]?" function (see above).
> > - Improved the translation accuracy of imported PC3/LE/K series programs.
> > - Fixed: a bug where manually ejecting the desktop PC/USB-Drive could make the drive unavailable and require a power cycle to regain access.
> > - Fixed: "Resetting" message now displayed while doing a hard reset.
> > - Improved handling of Global parameters saved across power cycles:

> >   The parameters that are remembered now are: - Category favorites - Velocity Map (Touch) - Local keyboard channel (LclKbdChan) - Program change (ProgChg) - Bank select (BankSel) - Destination (Dest) - Channel 1-16 enable (Chan#) - FX select (FXSel) - Sysex ID (SysexID)

> GENERAL:

> > Fixes/Improvements:

> > - Fixed: bugs leading to potential system freezes on power up.
> > - Fixed: previously, during bootup, MIDI coming in or plugging in a MIDI cable would freeze the unit.
> > - Fixed bug with USB MIDI that, under particular circumstances, could cause a noticeable delay in playing the keyboard while being connected to a computer via USB.
> > - Fixed: under particular circumstances the unit was not getting detected as a USB-MIDI device.
> > - Fixed: very rare occurrence of "missed pedal events".
> > - Fixed: stuck note bug where Note Offs were ignored when the keyboard was suddenly used to select a key (for eg. when choosing a split key)

> > - Fixed: demo was starting in response to MIDI start.
