What's new in 2.2

* Local state is now stored in the global settings. If Local is saved to ‘Off’ a temporary display will show on boot. Settings must be saved in order to be retained through a power cycle (go to the Settings menu and press Save) * All local modes can be set by sending the following values on CC122. A temporary display will be shown when the local state is changed via MIDI: 0 = off 64 = seq 127 = on * Pressing both Octave buttons resets the octave range - As with other Novation synths, pressing Octave +/- will reset any octave shift applied to the keys through the Octave buttons. * Bug fixes: * Sudden changes in stereo position - fixed an issue where certain combinations of Spread, SpreadMode and PanPosn settings could result in sudden changes to the distribution of voices in the stereo field. * Animates not available in Local | Seq - Both animate buttons now work in Single & Multi mode when local mode is set to Seq. * Oscillator Diverge & Drift in multi-patches - These settings now work on a per-part basis. * Switching to Multi Mode via MIDI - NRPN 62:0:1 to global MIDI channel now switches to Multi. NRPN 62:0:0 to either part A or part B MIDI channel switches to Single. * LFOs on both parts of a multi adapt to tempo changes - Previously LFOs on a multi only updated to tempo changes if part B was selected. This is now fixed. * LFO Common - LFO common is now working uniformly across voices 1-8 & 9-16 and can be used on a per-part basis in multi-patches. * Reverb Size not recalled correctly when loading a patch - Reverb Size front panel control and Reverb Size menu parameter (FX 8/10) now work bi-directionally and settings are recalled correctly.
