Antigone firmware 1.0.6 released

What's new

Big release — likely the official 1.0 version. New wavetables, a brand-new Shape Sequencer module, lots of UI polish and a wide bug-fix sweep.

Don't forget to update your SD card. New wavetables and projects live on the SD card — grab the archive below alongside the firmware.

New wavetable library

• Custom waves licensed from Galbanum — approximately 60 wavetables added to the Wavetable Synth and LFO Wavetable.

New module — Shape Sequencer

• Modulation sequencer with 1 to 256 steps, featuring 34 different shapes.
• Each step has min and max parameters, repetition from 1 to 8 times, and a probability parameter from 0 to 100%.
• Synchronised with the clock.
• Direction modes: forward, reverse, random, ping-pong. A step can also advance on trig or clock.

Macros

• Macros count increased to 16.
• Each macro can be assigned to a MIDI CC for absolute control.

General

• Long-press delay raised from 250 ms to 350 ms to avoid confusion with short presses.
• Added a "No action on long press" message when no action is bound, or "This parameter cannot be modulated" when applicable.
• Alt + button (short or long) previews the current instrument.
• New Space Antigone screensaver replaces the old one.
• Customised greyscale palette for more screen contrast.
• Added an autoloader in the file browser.
• Memory management revised to prevent crashes when the sample wave pool is full (in RAM).
• Fixed project/preset name input when adding a space.
• Trig indicators in the screen header no longer light up if no machine is loaded in the instrument.

Voice control

• Removed the "Config" and "Layout" tabs. Long-press the encoder to edit the voice layout. The "< | ALT" button cancels in layout-change mode instead of exiting the screen.
• Switch the editing of an instrument's voices in a modulation or in the machine via ALT + "< VOICE"** or **ALT + "VOICE >".
• Fixed incorrect slave-note pitch in some CV/Gate configurations with unison or unison legato.
• The "midi" value was shown without any extension connected to the "control" parameter — fixed.

LFO

• Enhanced LFO visualisation.
• The "Clock" parameter in the LFO Wavetable should not be modulable — fixed.
• During sample or wavetable scrolling, you can now press the encoder to go to the browser without waiting for the temporary waveform preview to close.

Wavetable Synth

• Fixed incorrect "Position" text display when changing wavetables, even if the position parameter is not on the corresponding knob.
• Prevented volume jumps when quickly changing the wavetable (prevents pop process bug).

Sample Player

• Added Loop point parameter.
• Improved UI.
• Fixed crash when instantiating a sample player with a file that does not fit in memory.
• Fixed crash when entering the sample player screen too quickly after adding the machine while a large sample is loading in the background.
• Corrected visualisation of start/end points.
• Some error messages were not displayed correctly — fixed.

ADSR

• Constant ADSR visualisation.
• Added a Snap range (faster than the "fast" range).
• ADSR segments now highlight based on the currently played voice.

Sample & Hold (S&H)

• Enhanced visualisation.
• Gain parameter can now be modulated.
• Fixed incoherent values on CV input.
• Fixed crash when CV input is selected.
• Added polarity (bi, uni+, uni-).
• Trig view now follows the last notes in poly mode.

Clock

• Internal clock range now from 10 to 400 BPM.
• Added 8-bar and 16-bar subdivisions.

Mod Matrix

• Fixed crackling on the "mod matrix" page.
• The attenuverter of Modulation 3 of the parameters was not loading from the presets as it should (value at 0) — fixed.

How to update

1. Download antigone-1.0.6-beta.hex from the link below.
2. Download the SD card content archive and copy it to your microSD card.
3. Follow the step-by-step procedure in the documentation: How to update the firmware.

Back up your projects first. The updater leaves user data alone, but a clean SD copy is always a good idea.
