I have a new version of Little Phatty (and Slim Phatty) firmware. If you'd like to test it, post here and I will send you a link via PM.
Let me know if you are using Windows or Mac. I personally am having an issue with the Mac loader where it takes a long time (like 30 minutes instead of 2 minutes) to send the update... other people have used the same Mac PhattyLoader and it takes the normal couple of minutes, so please check this and let me know the result.
Here is what's new in this update:
- LOCAL CONTROL: OFF, ON, "noKB". The new noKB setting turns off local control for the keys only, while the knobs still affect the sound.
- ARP SETUP: SYNC LOCK (Off, On). New SYNC LOCK parameter keeps the arpeggiator phase constant from the time the arpeggiator is started, instead of resetting the timing on new notes. Sync Lock OFF gives the old behavior.
- POLY mode: Multiple improvements and bug fixes to Poly mode. Fixed several ways that different units could get out of sync, and added a new voice-stealing behavior: When you release a note, the system looks for any keys that are still held whose voice has been stolen by a subsequent note, and re-plays the most recent stolen note. In practice, this helps prevent notes from seeming "dropped" when polyphony is momentarily exceeded (such as when playing legato phrases).
- MIDI Time Code (MTC) bug is fixed
- MIDI CC filtering bug is fixed: a few panel controls (Sync, osc octaves, mod source/dest) would still send MIDI even when MIDI CC filtering should have blocked them from sending.
- PRESET MWHL (Mod Wheel amount saved with presets): added to Little Phatty (Slim Phatty already had this, but LP didn't until now).
- Turning off the arpeggiator while still holding a note: the held note continues to play now, instead of being silenced when the arp is turned off.

I think that's all the changes...
cheers,
Amos
