1.2.0.0 (2021-07-02)

• Note: Existing settings and presets should transfer over, but backup the TETE folder on your SD card just in case.
• General/Global
  • Major scale is now the default, Chromatic moved to be inline with Scales/Metropolix
  • Finer control on Slew in all modes; previously 6-14 discrete settings.
  • Clock/Gate LEDs are now Amber colour (and dimmer) to match our Line up going forward.
  • Marker in the top-right corner when settings are to be saved. As before, the Looper/Sequencer must be stopped for state to save.
  • UI handling improvements. Pressing a button will open that screen, no need to exit the previous, like Metropolix.
  • GUI/Menu improvements.
  • Other minor bug fixes/text updates.
• Clock/Transport
  • New upgraded clock core based on the rock solid Metropolix.
  • Internal/External toggle moved to Setup menu to reduce accidental toggling.
  • Updated tap tempo code from Metropolix.
  • Added external clock divider to Global Setup.
  • New Reset/Run handling. Run is only available on the Trig input, and Reset is only available on the Reset Input. Both are still re-assignable, but those jacks can no longer can be assigned to nothing.
  • Removed Late Compensation "feature", resolving many timing issues.
• Looper
  • New Clock Synced Loopy!
  • Change to Loopy Length adjusting; it now uses encoder acceleration to accommodate large adjustments and fine tuning.
  • New Looper Sync modes: Reset, Trig, Clock.
    • Clock: Locks Looper Actions to a X number of clock pulses. (Original Mode)
    • Reset: Quantizes Looper Actions to a Reset pulse. (Least hassle, tightest timing.)
    • Trig: Quantizes Looper Actions to X of pulses on a Jack assigned to Looper Trig.
  • Tweaks to "Record on Touch" when also synced; previously, you needed to be touching a pad when the sync pulse trigger fired, but now, you can touch at any point before the sync pulse to trigger recording on the sync pulse.
  • Much tighter clock syncing.
• Step Sequencer
  • Fixed Swing issues
  • Increase Clock Divisions from /4 to /16
• Voltages Mode
  • New: Voltages Mode Bank Reset Option: "Off", "First", "Touched". (will reset to last touched pad)
  • New: Gate style output, you can set the gate length with the Encoders.
  • New: shows the Target Pitch on the screen when Output is quantized.
  • New: Per output slew option.
• Combo Mode
  • Fixed Pressure issues when pad was Voltages Pad.
  • New "LFO Reset" Options: No/Reset/Looper.
  • New "Euclid Reset" Options: No/Reset/Looper.
  • Fixed Euclidean pad issue where latched pads would reset when touched.
  • Added CV assignment for VBank, to modulate bank on Voltage Pads.
• Notes Mode
  • Minor bug fixes.

1.1.0.1 (2020-03-05)

• FIXED: The scale quantizer in Combo Mode locked to chromatic scale on pads 3 and 4.

1.1.0.0 (2020-03-02)

IMPORTANT: You must also update your Tetrapad to version 3.0.0.1.

• NEW: The three assignable outputs (SYNC, A, B) have a new Run+Rec option, which transmits a +5V gate whenever Tête is actively recording or overdubbing a loop or sequence.
• NEW: The three assignable outputs (SYNC, A, B) have a new Loopy option, which transmits a +5V gate whenever Loopy is active.
• NEW: The Global Setup menu has a new Late Comp toggle for enabling/disabling Play/Record Compensation. It can be useful to turn this off when Tête is used as the master transport control in your system.
• NEW: A new Reset Mode option in the Mode SETUP menu enables you to reset that current mode’s Mode SETUP menu options to their default, factory settings.
• NEW: Tête now ignores External Clock pulses that exceed 2400 BPM. Clock screen will display "Too Fast" when this rate is exceeded. This prevents Tête from becoming unstable when the operator is suffering from an excessive caffeine overdose.
• CHANGE: Coarse/Fine tuning (where applicable) is now handled with Encoder Acceleration. Turn slowly to increment in slowly, and turn faster to increment more quickly. (No need to Push-Turn the encoder for fine increments)
• CHANGED: The “Load Defaults” selection in the CV Setup menu has been renamed “Reset CV” for clarity and consistency with the new “Reset Mode” option mentioned above.
• FIXED: Better error message if there is a problem with the SD Card.
• FIXED: Inconsistent or missing "Touch" CV output assignment.
• FIXED: Negative Voltage on "Position" CV output when loop was empty.
• FIXED: SOL/SOS CV Gate not always firing when recording a new loop.

COMBO MODE CHANGES:

• NEW: Voltage Bank Pad - 4 pairs of stored voltages on a single pad. See Combo Mode: Voltage Banks for complete description.
• NEW: In Combo Mode only, the three assignable outputs (SYNC, A, B) have a new per-pad Touch* option (Touch 1* - Touch 4*) that, if selected, transmits a +5V trigger whenever the indicated pad is touched.
• NEW: In Combo Mode only, the two assignable variable voltage outputs (A and B) have a new per-pad Pressure option (Pressure 1 - Pressure 4) that, if selected, transmits a control voltage based on the amount of pressure applied to the indicated pad.
• NEW: You may now independently latch the top and bottom switches on a Combo Mode switches pad. Hold down the red SHIFT button and click the encoder to toggle whether only the top or only the bottom switch is latched.

VOLTAGES MODE CHANGES:

• NEW: Set a range for randomized voltages - Two new parameters (Random Min and Random Max) in the Voltages Mode SETUP menu work together to define the overall range of possible voltages generated whenever a voltage is randomized in Voltages Mode. Using these two parameters, you can define a randomization range as wide as 10V (-5V to +5V) or as narrow as a single volt.
• CHANGED: Holding down the red SHIFT button and pressing an encoder used to randomize the voltage on that encoder’s specific output in the selected bank. It now randomizes the voltage on the encoder’s specific output across ALL banks.

1.0.0.4 (2019-11-13)

• Initial release.
