Improvements: Added the option to route the audio from the Main outputs using Outbox 8. You can now use [FUNC] + [UP/DOWN] to navigate between channels in the channel configuration menus for Outbox 8.

Improvements: Added Outbox 8 configuration support. Added the possibility of generating a random name from the naming screen when naming an object. Added slew functionality to the RND waveform for the LFOs. When RND is selected for the WAV parameter, the SPH parameter now sets the amount of slew. It is now possible to adjust the micro timing amount on all trigs on a track at the same time. Bug fixes: MIDI messages were sometimes not sent if the device tempo was set to very low BPMs.
Version 1.52A — 9 Jul 2025
Bug fixes: Modulating the PLAY MODE parameter didn’t produce the correct results.
Version 1.52 — 16 Oct 2024
Improvements: Added support for Overbridge 2.13.
Version 1.51A — 29 Nov 2023
Version 1.50 — 1 Mar 2023
Improvements: Added sample playback enhancements by implementing sample playback machines that add features such as warping and sample slicing. Added Sample Rate Reduction functionality that can be routed either post- or pre-filter. Decreased the encoder sensitivity when changing MIDI parameters. Improved the filter type switching to reduce the amount of unwanted audio artifacts that could occur. Added the functionality to record loops based on the current BPM when sampling or re-sampling. Previewing a sample or a recording while on a MIDI track is now possible by letting it be previewed on the neighboring audio track. Bug fixes: It was not possible to access Quick mutes and activate FILL mode when in GRID RECORDING mode.
Version 1.40A — 23 Nov 2022
Improvements: Saving a song to a project now works the same as saving a pattern to a project. After using SAVE TO PROJ in the SONG menu, the song is saved without needing to save the project afterward. However, the project needs to be saved before switching to another project to retain the changes. Bug fixes: Latching FILL mode did not work. The playhead (the red LED moving on the TRIG keys when the sequencer is running) was not visible when in KEYBOARD mode. The MASTER parameter page always reverted to page 1/3 when switching track. In SONG mode, queuing a pattern to play after the song is complete while a song row is repeating was ignored and instead the pattern playing on the song row kept playing after the song ended. In SONG mode, if a song row was set to loop indefinitely, queuing another row to play did not have any effect since it was not prioritized over playing the indefinitely looping row. In SONG mode, the swing setting from a queued song could be carried over and affect the currently playing song. The graphical keyboard only indicated one pressed black key at a time even if multiple black keys were pressed. The PATTERN menu could under some circumstances be accessed by pressing [FUNC]+[SONG MODE]. Keyboard mode could in some cases unexpectedly change to GRID RECORDING mode when switching tracks.
Version 1.40 — 28 Sep 2022
Improvements: Implemented Song mode. The [···] key has been re-purposed and is now the [SONG MODE] key. The PATTERN menu has been moved to the SETTINGS menu. Updated the CHROMATIC mode with additional functionality, i.e., keyboard fold and scales. Renamed options in the SOUND OPERATIONS menu in the SOUND MANAGER. Import to TRK > Load to TRK Export to here > Save to here Bug fixes: The LFO waveform could sometimes be drawn with corrupt screen graphics.
