new in verison 2.0a:
- New Shimmer Reverb added to the list of effects for Effect 2
* - The new shimmer reverb is quite heavy on the Third Wave's CPU. For the 24-voice models, while effects are allowed across all four parts, parts 1 and 3 share one effect core, and parts 2 and 4 share another. Consequently, you can only use the shimmer reverb on one part per pair. For example, if shimmer is active on part 1, it cannot be used on part 3.
* - Additionally, you cannot run any other reverb or heavy effect (such as the Echoplex or Leslie speaker) on a core that is currently running the shimmer effect. If you attempt to do so, a message will appear in the effects window indicating that your effect options are limited to a smaller, available selection. The 8M is not affected by this limit due to the fact that it only has two parts.
- Improved Make Waves functionality - automatic wavetable maker has been noticeably improved, including the addition of a new spectral mode that analyzes the audio from start to end in the frequency domain
- Expanded MIDI CC mappings for 24voice module and 8M. See MIDI implementation spec for more info
- New MIDI SysEx functionality for importing and exporting wavetables.
- New MIDI SysEx functionality for importing and exporting multisamples
- New option for Envelope Retrigger Mode in MISC settings, “reset from 0 (fast click)”, which will reset envelopes to 0 with smoothing disabled, so it will reset quickly and might have an audible click
- New GLOBAL option “MIDI include part in nrpn”, when set on the 3rd Wave will add an offset for each part so that per part settings have unique nrpns instead of relying on nrpn 0. See MIDI implementation spec for more info
- Various bug fixes for controlling synth via MIDI nrpn
- Bug fix for mono and free running LFO modes to ensure they are resynchronized appropriately when switched back and forth.
- Bug fix for issues reading .wav audio files with troublesome meta-data included in the header
- Bug fix for mute control on the internal sequencer
- Bug fix for sequencer transpose mode with keyboard splits
- Bug fix for issues found on the 8M in audio quality routing audio input through synth engine
- Bug fix for 8M UI issues to make transition from one waveform to the next smooth in the wavetable display.
