Your LinnStrument is now being updated, which will take about 2.5 minutes. Improvement: The timing of send USB MIDI messages has been optimized so that slower hardware synthesizers are less likely to misinterpret some of LinnStrument’s sent MIDI messages. Fixed. While holding Global Settings, press OS Version (in column 16). In Per-Split Settings > Loudness/Z column: Feature: Added support for using the DIN MIDI OUT jack as a MIDI THRU jack. Bug fix: The lights of the control switches would sometimes be lit incorrectly when a sequencer is active. In the Step Sequencer, if transposing a sequence down such that the transposed note numbers would go below 0, this would cause an “underflow” error, resulting in high note numbers of 127 and below. Roger Linn LinnStrument Update Software developer Geert Bevin shared an update on the state of the Roger Linn LinnStrument , Linn’s new polyphonic multitouch controller instrument. Bug fix: Updater application would sometimes not work correctly on Windows and MacOS Sierra. Bug fix: some LEDs could sometimes flash brightly when exiting Per-Split Settings, Global Settings, and Octave/Transpose, and at the end of a OS update. Improvement: Previously if using One Channel mode and you played two note pads of the same pitch, releasing one of them would terminate both notes, because MIDI only permits one note of the same pitch per channel. Added scales to the sequencer. Enthusiastic players could thus implement this features themselves. To brick the Linnstrument you need to arse up the ATmega16U2, or change some of the fuses in the SAM3X to disable the boot-loader, or re-program the boot-loader, none of this is possible using the normal Arduino IDE or the linnstrument firmware update app. Roger Linn has individual approach to every his customer which is something you don't see often these days. please see my comment below .. Swipe L/R to select one of the following options: New Feature: additional Panel/Foot Switch options have been added. Improvement: the fourth/highest "All Settings" preset (on the right side of the Preset screen) is now configured by default for playing auto drumbeats on the left split and auto bass lines on the right split, as shown in the LinnStrument Introduction video at 4:36. This does not affect very light touches, which always respond to the lowest possible force. Bug Fix: in low power mode, Polyphonic Pressure with a value of zero would not be sent. Split on/off status is now remembered after power off/on. New Feature: For Low Row's CC1 and XYZ=16-18 options, as well as for the CC Fader options, you can now select Channel Pressure in addition to the CCs 0-127. Go to Global Settings > Actions column. Row 2 selects debug level 0 43. Download: 1.1: 20/7/2015: Added legato velocity setting. This is needed to perform the actual firmware update with a standard tool. Swipe left or right to adjust from 50 (most force required to produce velocity/pressure value of 127) to 100 (least force required to produce velocity/pressure value of 127). You signed in with another tab or window. boolean firstTimeBoot = false; // this will be true when the LinnStrument booted up the first time after a firmware upgrade: boolean globalReset = false; // this will be true when the LinnStrument was just globally reset: unsigned long lastReset; // the last time a reset was started It is now much shorter. Now fixed. Fixed. New Feature: You can now turn on light animations that surround and emanate from the played note pads, responding to velocity and pressure. Improvement: the entered tempo value is now saved after disconnecting and reconnecting power. With Firmware v2.0, ARGON8 introduces support of the MPE standard. Feature: Release velocity now supported in Note Off messages. These modulation sources refer to the horizontal and vertical sideways pressure which a user of an MPE-compatible MIDI controller may apply to each key with the finger pressing it. To get this .bin file, go to the Arduino IDE preferences and enable "Show verbose output during: compilation". X and Y (coming soon) - MIDI MPE support will be added in a future Deluge firmware update. This is fixed. He notes that version 1.0 of the LinnStrument firmware is close to being finalized, and that several new features have been added: Bug Fix: A rare bug existed in version 2.0.0 and later that causes the upper 2 note pads in columns 4 and 5 to stop working. LinnStrument Control is a desktop tool that allows LinnStrument to control your computer. The hardware is well designed and executed and is relatively easily serviceable by end … If nothing happens, download the GitHub extension for Visual Studio and try again. A free license for UTE is included with purchase of the FLASH synthesizer, or TBX2b, allowing owners of those devices to upload tunings, update firmware, and so on. This is fixed. To get this .bin file, go to the Arduino IDE preferences and enable "Show verbose output during: compilation". Bug fix: If a MIDI "Pitch Bend Sensitivity” RPN message was received, LinnStrument responded by setting the Bend Range incorrectly. New Feature: Channel Per Row mode's channel order can now be reversed, permitting for example the highest row to send on channel one and lowest on channel 8. In the Step Sequencer, if a sequence was set to Drums mode, transposing the sequence would transpose the drum note numbers, which makes no musical sense. The hardware is well designed and executed and is relatively easily serviceable by end … New Feature: added support for a configurable start value for the CC value sent when Per-Split Settings > Timbre/Y column > Relative is turned on. http://www.rogerlinndesign.com/ls-sequencer.html. Double-click the LinnStrument Updater app to open it. LinnStrument is now “5D” in ROLI-speak. Then swipe down to set delay before sleep animation starts. There’s a whole lot in this new firmware, not just the step sequencer. To confirm that the update was successful, check your LinnStrument's version number as explained at the top of this page. Now you can reverse the pitch direction for one split only, permitting mirrored split tunings. I had to delete all the replicated MIDI Voices of my previous sounds created for the LinnStrument before this update because they are now obsolete. Swipe right to select “THRU”. After changing Split status, press Per-Split Settings or Global Settings once to save it. LX88+ ... LinnStrument. Strum mode (Per-Split Settings > Special column > Strum) improved to be more guitar-like: Only highest note on row (string) is recognized, Hammer-ons and pull-offs can now be performed. We believe we fixed the cause of the bug but in case it happens in future and you notice that these 4 notes pads aren't working, simply remove and reconnect power to make them work again. Added calibration. On Windows, the compiled executable expects a 'tools' directory alongside it with the 'bossac.exe' binary. Here's what's new in Hydrasynth 1.3: MPE support ( … If nothing happens, download Xcode and try again. ... Press NOTES OFF and UPDATE OS at the same time. Column 17 selects the debug level By default it’s -1, meaning that no debug info is printed 42. Now it can be any value from 0 to 127. Fixed. Bug fix: The data sent through updater application could be corrupted with slower computers or certain USB connections. If necessary, double-click on the LinnStrument Firmware folder to uncompress the file. New Feature: in Assign Switches, permit SUSTAIN and CC65 to be reassigned to any CC, and independently for the 4 switches. Fixed. They are now the same.Â. Now you can connect all your MIDI devices - without cables - even without computers - with MIDI over Bluetooth! In the latest Universal Tuning Editor update, support has been added for our recently shipped TBX2b, for programmings Tunings, Presets, USR data, Global Params, Backups, and Firmware Updates.New features have also been added for the LinnStrument MIDI controller, allowing key colors to be programmed.

Update – due to the need for a developer signature for Apple MacOS 10.14 and above, I’m removing the application versions. Feature: Added polyphonic step sequencer for each split. Copy the .bin file from there to the folder with the LinnStrument Updater and give it a name like linnstrument-firmware-103.bin. This is so much fun, playing expressive electronic music anywhere without power constraints! New features are being added constantly with every firmware update. If sending an NRPN message to LinnStrument to set colors, magenta would be selected regardless of the value sent. And if sending an NRPN message to to set any of the Per-Split Settings, the Per-Setting Settings indicator lights would change but not the internal value. It requires LinnStrument firmware 1.2.5 or later. A specific manual will follow soon, most aspects can be found in the NF-1's user manual too. Free LinnStrument Update Adds Multidimensional Polyphonic Expression, User Firmware Mode Developer Geert Bevin let us know that Roger Linn Design has released an update to the firmware for the LinnStrument , adding support for the new Multidimensional Polyphonic Expression specification, a new User Firmware Mode and more. Bug fix: If the pressure was very soft, Quantize Hold would sometimes not correct the pitch as it should. If you have the inclination though, IMO the ultimate rewards fall to those who can do sound/patch design specifically for and with the LinnStrument at hand. In earlier software versions, a bug existed that could result in the upper one or two note pads in columns 4 and/or 5 to be disabled. Fixed.Â. Enable Update OS mode Which essentially turns on Serial instead of MIDI 40. Fixed. The firmware update file should be placed alongside the updater application and will be automatically detected. In Global Settings, hold Sleep (column 15, row 3) and swipe right to show “XMS”. This is fixed. In the Step Sequencer screen, the Mute setting can now be remotely set via MIDI NRPN messages, as described in the the file midi.text in the source code. Bug Fix: Previously, there were small inconsistencies in quantized pitch bend ranges. When using the Step Sequencer, if syncing to a sync source that didn’t send Song Position Pointer messages, LinnStrument’s sequencer would not start immediately in response to received Start messages. Click on the Looking Glass icon To enable Serial Monitor and reset LinnStrument 41. Thanks to Connor Golden for implementing this fix. Best is to start with a simple MIDIVoice sound.
