What's new in 4.3.5

New Mod Shape: Cross Mod (Lime Green) In this mode, instead of internal low frequency mod shapes, the Oscillator receives wave position modulation from the other Osc. The time control does nothing on a Side with Cross Mod enabled, but will still modulate the opposing Oscillator if any shape other than Cross Mod or Off is selected.

In scala mode, MIDI notes are quantized according to the scala file. MPE, pitch bend, Osc A pitch CC, and Midi transpose (ch 9) are not quantized While Scala is most often referred to as a method using alternate tunings, you are also able to find all Scales and Modes for the commonly used 12-Tet tuning as Scala files as well. In this way, the Scala system is a way t [...]
