See below for a detailed description of how to update the Firmware for PlayFader and change PlayCase.
It doesn’t take long and if you use the knurlies, you don’t even need a screwdriver. If you have any problems, drop us an email.
FirmWare Update & Case Swap
New in V1.3
LOOP LENGTH CHANGES. New loop length settings now take effect when the current loop length ends. Allowing for seamless loop length changes and polymetric experimentation.
BUFFER SWITCHING - Switching between buffers on a Channel (Pattern A to B and vice versa) is now set to occur at the start of the next time division period, as defined in the TIME menu - per channel! Allowing for flexible synchronised buffer switching.
LFO and RANDOM LFO SPEED RANGE - The LFO speed ranges have been changed from Linear to Quadratic. This allows much more space in the lower half of the Fader travel to access slower speeds (previously it ramped up in speed way too fast). You can now introduce a subtle tape-like warble effect with the LFO FUN FX, or occasional random interventions using the RANDOM FUN FX.
DOUBLE TAP SPEED - We have extended the time threshold for all double tap keystrokes by 50ms, making it much easier to get to the function you want, first time. It’s subtle but it makes playing live much more on-point! For example, changing FUN FX or engaging WINDOW LATCH in the heat the moment is much easier now.

more to come soon.. including envelopes, more chord fun, maybe a new fun fx and the hidden accelerometer… we’re working on it!
