NEW FEATURES

• Per Track and Bypass Trails
  • Access the new Trails config in Menu > Trails
  • 3 per-track options, saved per preset:
    • Off: no trails (default behavior prior to 1.2)
    • Only Trails: dry signal is cut on inactive steps. Good for parallel effects and repeat patterns
    • Trails & Dry: effect tails keep decaying on inactive steps, dry signal passes through on active ones.
  • Toggle Bypass Trails On/Off globally
• Sequencer Parameter Retention
  • Sequencer steps no longer reset effect parameters when changing effects
  • Turn this behavior On/Off in Menu > Clean Seq on FX
  • Off by default
• Main Output Control
  • Master output level is now controllable via the macro knob, CC#92, or an expression pedal
• Tempo Display
  • Tap the Tempo encoder on the main screen to show the current BPM

NEW FEATURES

• Master Volume Master Control
  • Use the settings knob on the Main Screen for master volume control.
• Individual Track Mutes
  • Hold down the Tempo Encoder and press a Track Number button to Mute/Unmute a Track.
  • Mute Track Indications: Muted track buttons and parameters are white, and a lowercase m is displayed underneath the effect icon on the main screen.
  • Mute states reset when loading a new effect

FIXES

• External MIDI Clock and transport triggered the micro looper without sequenced steps
• Midi CC & expression pedal actions switched the current screen display
• Changing the Effect to “Off” kept the Effect Gain settings
• The Expression Pedal menu was labeled Next/Previous Pattern instead of Preset
• Pads occasionally lit up while switching tracks
