    FM9 Firmware Version 6.00 public beta (1)

    My programmer guess is that each output block now includes a small-ish internal buffer, that on scene/preset change, plays the last 'n' milliseconds of pre-change audio output (a hold/freeze) on a background thread whilst the main thread loads the new settings. The small increase in DSP % would...
