What's new

A solid round of fixes plus a few headline features. As a bonus, the SD card archive ships a sound bank of around 500 drum samples (recorded by Felix Rouske / AC-Tone and Vincent) and new presets.

Don't forget to update your SD card. The new presets and sound bank live on the SD — grab the SD archive below alongside the firmware.

Enhancements

  • New wavetable transform parameters in the Wavetable synth: Sync, Sync Windowed, Asymm +/-, Sine, Decimator, Folder — replacing the old Decimator + Folder parameters.
  • Optimised wavefolder now includes oversampling / anti-aliasing filters (on the wavetable machine).
  • Improved preset and instrument loading speed.
  • Reduced overall CPU usage by ~2%.
  • MIDI pitch bend now supports 14-bit values instead of 7-bit.
  • Improved instrument switching shortcuts — now contextual, keeping the current page / track / modulation selected.

Fixes

  • Fixed an issue where the sample player's volume would change unexpectedly.
  • Resolved partial preset saving issues.
  • Debugged voice switching within machines.
  • Fixed a crash caused by phase distortion set to 0% (or 100%) in the FM2 algorithm, which would cause filters to malfunction (sound cuts off).
  • Fixed an issue with the Shape Sequencer maintaining the last modulation value at the end of a step.
  • Addressed crashes when loading instruments, removing or changing modulation slots.
  • Fixed a crash when changing algorithms on the algorithmic synthesiser while the waveform preview was visible.
  • Resolved a crash when loading wavetable synth or wavetable LFO in specific cases.
  • Resolved crashes after several hours of intensive use during preset loading, layout changes or module switching due to memory fragmentation and interrupted wave loading.

How to update

  1. Download antigone-1.0.8-beta.hex from the link below.
  2. Download the SD card content archive and copy it to your microSD card to get the new presets and drum sound bank.
  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.
