Version 1.18 — 1 Jan 2021

What’s fixed? - Presets will now correctly save to the proper location when using MIDI PC messages to save to MIDI preset locations. - Under the hood fixes. What’s new? - Added SOS Looper mode to the EXP jack options for instant control of the SOS looper using a MultiSwitch Plus. Please see the Volante and MultiSwitch Plus user manuals for details on setup and usage.

Version 1.12 — 1 Apr 2019

What’s fixed? - Sending a MIDI PC message while a recorded loop is playing back in SOS mode (with INFINITE on) no longer mute the delay repeats. - Fixed an issue that could lead to distorted effect output when using the SOS looper while the pedal is set to drum TYPE, double SPEED, and all heads are panned to the center for the psycho-acoustic process to be applied. What’s changed? - The on-board saving procedure of pressing and holding the FAVORITE footswitch until the LED blinks BLUE, then, pressing FAVORITE once more will now save to the currently selected preset location including MIDI presets, not just to one of the 8 available on-board preset locations.

Version 1.10 — 1 Feb 2019

What’s changed? - SOS looper no longer auto-records and closes the loop without pressing the SPLICE footswitch. What’s fixed? - Delay repeats heard very quietly in the background when bypassed. - Volante was not responding to MIDI clock via the USB port when MIDI Clock is enabled. - Anti-aliasing added to avoid noise in audio using half speed when pedals with charge pump components are in the signal chain before Volante. - Added individual MIDI CC’s for Delay ON/OFF and Reverb ON/OFF. - Additional under-the-hood fixes.

Version 1.11 — 1 Feb 2019

What’s fixed? - ECHO LEVEL and SPRING settings may not sound like the physical knob settings when powering up Volante in the bypassed state.
