MULTI MODE:
Fixes/Improvements:
- EDIT / Mixer - Added Exit Volume and Exit Pan parameters. The Exit Volume and Exit Pan values are sent when the current Multi is exited by selecting another Multi or Program. These parameters should typically be set to a value of "None", which sends no message. To select a value of "None", scroll below 0. Setting these values to 0-127 can be useful for advanced MIDI congurations and when controlling external MIDI instruments or software.
GENERAL:
Fixes/Improvements:
- General bug fixes that improve system stability.
MULTI MODE:
Features:
- Support for loading PC4 user Multis.
Fixes/Improvements:
- User Multis saved from the latest OS the Forte can be loaded into the SP6.
- EDIT / Transpose - Fixed a problem where the transposition value (Xpose) for the selected zone was showing the value for the last selected zone.
- EDIT / Common - When changing the KB3 channel, the programs are now properly re-loaded in the Multi.
- EDIT / Switch Pedals - An asterisk is now displayed for KB3 Rotary when overridden in Global Mode (Overrides/KB3 Rotary: Button).
- EDIT / FX - Fixed a problem where changing some parameters could make the sound choppy.
- EDIT / CC Pedal - Proper destination values are now presented.
- Adjusted some textual displays for improved legibility.
PROGRAM MODE:
Features:
- Support for loading PC4 user programs (incl. FM)
- Support for loading Forte user FM sounds.
GENERAL:
Fixes/Improvements:
- Favorites are now being properly stored when saving a backup file.
- General bug fixes that improve system stability.
MULTI MODE:
Fixes/Improvements:
- Some object names have been changed.
PROGRAM MODE:
Fixes/Improvements:
- Fixed: When using the SoundTower PlugSE with some DAWs, controllers could become temporarily unresponsive until pressing Panic.
- Some object names have been changed.
GENERAL:
Fixes/Improvements:
- Fixes a rare noise problem that could occur in using update 1.10.
MULTI MODE:
Fixes/Improvements:
- When local keyboard channel is enabled and you are changing multis via MIDI, the screen was not being updated with the current multi. this is now fixed.
- FX stability improvements.
- Favorite changes were sending duplicated program changes making it not smooth.
- EDIT / CC Pedal - The CCPedal now offers an entry value parameter.
PROGRAM MODE:
Fixes/Improvements:
- Japanese and German piano keymaps improved for smoother velocity changes, linear and vertical key to key transitions, and general volume balances.
- Five intermediate layers have been introduced to the following German piano programs to smooth out sample cross-switching from lower dynamics through higher dynamics:
-1 Dyn 9ft Grand
-3 Bright Jazz 9ft
-5 Punchy Edge
-7 Smooth Grand 9ftThree intermediate layers have been introduced to the following Japanese piano programs to help smooth out sample cross-switching from lower dynamics through higher dynamics.
-2 Rich Grand 7ft
-4 Intimate Pno 7ft
-6 Studio Grand 7ft
-8 Solo Grand 7ft(The resultant programs were made to sound as close as possible to the originally released programs.)
- FX stability improvements.
- EDIT / Assignable Params - Plus and Minus will now scroll through the whole list.
- KB3 - Drawbar display (0-8) is now properly reversed.
- KB3 / EDIT / Master - Mono parameter is no longer displayed.
- Favorite changes were sending duplicated program changes making it not smooth.
GLOBAL MODE:
Fixes/Improvements:
- FILE / Store - When there are no user objects are in the system, all of the Store menus are no longer presented.
- FILE / Store - Proper error messaging is displayed after loading no/invalid objects.
GENERAL:
Features:
- Added support for external software editor.
PROGRAM MODE:
Fixes/Improvements:
- Pad layers for all relevant programs - the sustain pedal no longer catches the release of a note that is still sounding.
- Improvements made to the mapping and velocity transitions for piano programs.
GLOBAL MODE:
Features:
- NEW "KB3 Trigger" parameter (page 1/6) - This determines whether KB3 organ notes are triggered by the high or low velocity switch of each key.
When set to "Low" (default): each key must be pressed all the way down to trigger a note.When set to "High" : notes are triggered near the top of the key travel. This permits faster note triggering because each key only has to be pressed down slightly, however this can also result in unwanted false triggers.
The default setting is "Low", which generally produces better results for most playing styles.
- NEW "Show Params" parameter (page 1/6) - If set to Yes, a new page appears in Program Edit Mode (4/4) where all the Parameters of the Program will be shown.
GENERAL:
Fixes/Improvements:
- Removed auto-repetition behavior on Transpose +/- and Chan Up/Down buttons to prevent unintended scrolling.
