<ul>
<li>Added an internal MIDI keyboard with scales, chord inversions, and

<strong>B</strong>.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="usage-notes-1">Usage notes</h3>
<ul>
<li>The internal keyboard is unavailable in Combi mode.</li>
<li>The internal keyboard has no hold mode, and changing its parameters
stops the notes currently playing.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="compatibility-and-update-notes-1">Compatibility and update
notes</h3>
<ul>
<li>Updating resets system settings, but preserves presets. Check your
system settings after the update.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="v2.4">v2.4</h2>
<h3 id="fixed-3">Fixed</h3>
<ul>
<li>Fixed reception of SysEx files generated by v2.3.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="v2.3">v2.3</h2>
<h3 id="added-3">Added</h3>
<ul>
<li>Added a category filter to the LOAD menu.</li>
<li>Added faster navigation (×10) using encoder 3 in the LOAD menu,
available only when the category filter is set to None.</li>
<li>Added arpeggiator beat sync and button hold time settings to the
SYSTEM menu.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="changed-2">Changed</h3>
<ul>
<li>Reorganized the SYSTEM menu into more pages for clearer
navigation.</li>
<li>System settings are now saved when loading a program through the
LOAD menu or the Yes/No buttons. Loading a program through a MIDI
Program Change message does not save system settings.</li>
<li>Updated low-level USB MIDI handling.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="fixed-4">Fixed</h3>
<ul>
<li>Corrected dual-mono panning: program A is routed to the left output,
and program B to the right output.</li>
<li>Both arpeggiators now stop when latch is enabled and a MIDI Stop
message is received.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="usage-notes-2">Usage notes</h3>
<ul>
<li>System settings can also be saved manually by holding the SYSTEM
button while already in the SYSTEM menu. This existing feature was
previously undocumented.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="compatibility-and-update-notes-2">Compatibility and update
notes</h3>
<ul>
<li>Updating resets system settings to their defaults.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="v2.2">v2.2</h2>
<h3 id="added-4">Added</h3>

<li>Added MIDI CC7 support.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="changed-3">Changed</h3>
<ul>
<li>External MIDI clock synchronization now works with a continuous
stream of clock messages, without requiring MIDI Start or Stop
messages.</li>
<li>The arpeggiator now starts when triggered.</li>
<li>The arpeggiator can now play in external clock sync mode while the
external clock is stopped. This behavior requires MIDI Start and Stop
messages.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="fixed-5">Fixed</h3>
<ul>
<li>Fixed Program Change handling in MPE mode. Thanks to Nathan.</li>
<li>Fixed cases where program B’s name appeared instead of program A’s

<ul>
<li>Added oscillator phase reset, useful for FM and bass sounds.</li>
<li>Added a filter character parameter with Soft, Mild, Hard, and Mean
modes, affecting resonance and self-oscillation level. Earlier firmware
used only the hidden Mean mode. Soft mode provides the Mk1-style filter
character.</li>
<li>Added an individual envelope reset parameter to return an envelope
to zero when retriggered.</li>
<li>Added a second multiply operator (mult2).</li>
<li>Added per-program chorus and a simple EQ with low-pass or high-pass
filtering.</li>

</ul>
<h3 id="changed-4">Changed</h3>
<ul>
<li>Increased oscillator and filter FM intensity for more aggressive
sounds. Higher intensity can introduce aliasing.</li>
<li>Reworked voice panning with two pan spread modes.</li>
</ul>
<h3 id="compatibility-and-update-notes-3">Compatibility and update
notes</h3>

<li>Changed the SysEx format. Existing files remain compatible and are
converted internally when loaded.</li>
</ul>
<h2 id="v1.0.5">v1.0.5</h2>

<ul>
<li>Fixed routing of pitch bend, modulation wheel, aftertouch, and
sustain pedal to the correct program in Combi mode, according to the
selected Combi mode. Thanks to Lasse.</li>

editing after switching between mono/bitimbral and Combi modes.</li>
