Firmware history 3 versions

VersionReleasedNotes
1.2F12023-10-09Bug fix with navigation. Based on Plaits 1.2 firmware; introduces the new Orange bank with 6 new modes, web-based editor for custom data, and new internal sample-and-hold for CV input.1077
1.1Adds firmware settings menu (access/exit by pressing FREQ & TIMBRE simultaneously); two new frequency lock modes (shift by octaves, shift by fifths); option to assign LEVEL CV to control internal envelope Decay; option to assign MODE CV to control Aux crossfade or LPG/VCA; SUB oscillator (Sine or Square); and alternative chords modes.1077
1.0Initial firmware adapting the Plaits engine to the RO'VED interface; adds Frequency Lock toggle (press TIMBRE & MORPH) and calibration mode entry (press FREQ & HARM for about 4 seconds).1077
