Follow LED and ch(s) 3, 4, 6, and 8 will light red on boot

Changelog:

  1. New Mod Shape: Cross Mod (Lime Green)

    1. In this mode, instead of internal low frequency mod shapes, the Oscillator receives wave position modulation from the other Osc.

    2. 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.

    3. The Page 2 Mod Region setting as controlled by the A/BWAVE controls works same as with other Mod Shapes - Wave position parameter determines the start or end point of the modulation.

  2. New Quantize Operations

    1. Toggle 12-Tet Quantization and Scala quantization on/off using the Page 2 FOLLOW button.

    2. Yellow 12-Tet Quantize mode works the same way it did in the previous firmware versions. Pots, A/B V/Oct inputs, and transpose input are all 12-TET.

    3. Peachy Brown Scala Quantize Mode:

      1. On the MW SD card, the module will automatically generate a "scala" folder with eight default .scl files in it. These can be replaced with any standard conforming .scl file

        Scala files are NOT ALLOWED that:

        Include entries of a ratio < 1x

        Include out of order entries. That is any entry of a ratio < the entry before it

      2. Scala file to be used for quantization are selected using the Osc A Pitch panel control and the 8 channel LEDs at top of the MW.

      3. Once Scala Quantize is selected and you move the Osc A Pitch Knob, all 8 channel LEDs will light dimly peachy except the currently selected channel, which lights a brighter peach color.

      4. Selection of scala file is only possible while scala quantize mode is on.

      5. In scala mode, transpose and pots are free. A/B V/Oct inputs are quantized based on selected scala file.

      6. In scala mode, MIDI notes are quantized according to the scala file.

        1. MPE, pitch bend, Osc A pitch CC, and Midi transpose (ch 9) are not quantized

      7. 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 to have a configurable quantizer in the Multiwave.

      9. the 8 default Scala files:

        1. Chromatic

        2. Major

        3. Minor

        4. Just Intonation Harrison Slye

        5. Pentatonic Major

        6. Pentatonic Minor

        7. Hirajoshi

        8. Whole Tone

  3. Lower current consumption during normal use
