NEW AND IMPROVED FEATURES​

  • Added “OD-One Overdrive” Drive model based on a Boss OD-1.
  • Improved Noise Gate in Input block:
    • Improved performance based on new algorithm developed for Gate block.
    • A Mode selection has been added allowing the user to select between “Easy” and “Advanced”. In Easy mode the number of parameters is reduced simplifying the adjustment procedure for those who are unfamiliar with the finer details of gates/expanders for guitar noise reduction applications.
  • Improved Gate block:
    • Improved Downward Expander type. The “Hold Time” parameter has been removed as it is not compatible and no longer needed with the new algorithm. This type has been renamed “Classic Expander” as it based off classic analog downward expanders.
    • Added “Modern Expander” type. This type uses a novel approach to the envelope detector resulting in improved ballistics compared to traditional analog expanders. A “Knee Type” parameter has been added which allows selecting between hard-knee expansion and varying degrees of soft-knee expansion.
  • Added zoom feature to Cabinet IR graph.
  • Improved Tuner:
    • Changed filter to tracking bandpass.
    • Changed strobe tuner so that indicator rotation frequency is constant vs. error as a fraction of desired frequency.
  • Adjusted the bypass design for blocks whose mix is “hard-coded” at 100%, (e.g. wah, EQ, etc.) The new feature smooths the transition when the effect is turned on or off.
  • New large fonts display mode for the main Presets/Scenes view (Home page of the Home menu). Turn Knob B (“Zoom”) to switch between small fonts and large fonts. In Large mode:
    • Turn the Value knob and then press ENTER to change the preset. (Presets are shown in “preview” as dim text until you press Enter.) When previewing presets, NAV left/right = -1/+1 preset and NAV down/up = -10/+10 presets.
    • Once any preset is loaded,use NAV keys to change scenes.

FIXES​

  • FC: When editing switches from the front panel, the 'Mini-Display Label' setting of 'Custom' will now allow access to the 'Custom Label' setting for all switch categories.
  • FC: Removed some erroneous parameter options from some switch configurations when viewed from the front panel, such as for Effect->Chan Inc/Dec.

OS-1? I know the OD-1 and the OS-2. If it’s a typo, I hope they mean the OD-1. If the OS-1 is a thing, then I stand corrected.
