Bastl Instruments Softpop SP2 firmware

Number 3 blinks at startup. New features: Easier sync with desktop gear with timeout on the SYNC input: Once the analog clock starts the sequencer will start from step 1, if there has been no clock for longer than 1s on the sync input. TRIG/GATE recording: Hold REC and press TRIG to record gate events to the gate steps. Note: consequently, recording of pitch needs to be initiated by moving the pitch fader. That means it doesn't start automatically once holding REC. Direct step editing: This new method of editing steps works both when the sequencer is playing and when it is not, and therefore replaces the old offline edit method. Therefore, pressing REC when the sequencer is stopped doesn't enter that mode anymore. Hold the step gate and press UP/DOWN to edit the step pitch. The step value will go to the nearest available pitch in the current scale. When the sequencer is stopped the pitch will be previewed and the envelope will not be triggered. Hold the step gate and move the pitch fader to edit the pitch of that step. Once editing the step light and fader light are blinking. This method with the fader also works for multiple steps at once. Hold step and press TEMPO to preview the step pitch. It will also trigger the envelope. The pitch will be previewed overriding the sequence playing while you are holding the step gate button. This can help to dial in the correct note. Note: when editing gates, they are only changed on button release when no other interaction is made. Improvements: Debounced SYNC IN - should work better with less clean clocks Better stability of SYNC IN (SP2 doesn't skip ahead) Better handling of SYNC IN when restarting clock Increased MIDI readout speed to make it more responsive and tighter Forced MIDI thru to TX pin (only relevant for hacker souls) RESET input behavior with SYNC IN should work well and not jump to step 2 RESET input doesn't double trig RESET input behavior improved on all clock sources [...]
