Subject: New functions list - so far

Radek,

Here they are so far:

1) flash EEPROM software upgrade capability (as I develop new software
you will all be able to download it and continue upgrading your Poly
and EX800's as long as we keep developing new features).
2) Sysex single patch dump send and receive.
3) All notes off panic button.
4) Omni On, Off or Auto on power up.
5) Keyboard MIDI TX channel selection (1-16 or no MIDI TX).
6) Joystick MIDI TX channel selection (1-16 or no MIDI TX).
7) Local keyboard control on/off.
8) Local joystick control on/off.
9) Extended playing range on/off (increases the playing range by two
octaves while ignoring the parameters 11 and 21).
10) Cascade mode (for when you have two Poly's or a Poly and an EX800.
One unit plays odd notes and the other plays evens).
11) Cascade sync mode (the master unit sends sysex patch dumps to the
slave as well as setting the Poly mode and program changes. This
ensures that your slave unit plays exactly the same sounds as the master).
12) Portamento mono mode with slide rate parameter stored per patch
(accessed by pressing the poly key twice).
13) MIDI controllers for setting Poly, Hold, Chord and Portamento.
14) a second LFO is now used to control the VCF MG.
15) Both LFO1 and LFO2 now have triangle wave, reverse triangle and
square wave parameters.
16) Both LFO1 and LFO2 now have free running modes (so that they don't
reset on note down events. They just keep cycling).
17) LFO2 for VCF has random mode.
18) Poly mode is stored and recalled with patches.
19) MIDI controllers implemented for LFO1 rate, VCF cutoff and
resonance depth.
20) Bend depth stored per patch.

That's it so far.

Mike.
