ARP 2600

1.1.5

  • Window Size settings now affect combo-boxes, menus, and Set List windows.
  • In the Librarian window and Selector dialogs, in the Filters section on the left, the list of Categories now hides unused Categories.
  • In the standalone software's Audio/MIDI Settings dialog, the height of the MIDI device selector is now improved.
  • Previously, a motion sequencer lane's synchronization might be incorrect if random order was enabled. This has now been fixed.
  • Previously, releasing the synchronization reference voice could cause synchronization to reset. This has now been fixed.
  • Fixed missing space in automation parameter "Voice Variation Key Tracking."
  • Windows only: closing a specific Set List window may also close other set list windows.
  • Windows only: Improved high-dpi support on Windows. Previously, contextual menus, alert messages. and Set List windows could appear too small.

1.1.4

  • Improved workflow for initial installation of sound data; the user only needs to select a destination folder if installing to a non-default location.
  • Factory data is now downloaded to a temporary file on disk instead of into RAM. This should improve reliability for rare cases in which the user's computer did not have sufficient free RAM for the download.
  • New modeling of Key Tracking nonlinearity. Hardware 2600s do not have perfect key-tracking for pitch and filter cutoff; this can add interesting dimensions to sounds, particularly for special effects. The new KeyTrk Nonlinearity Trim Pot adjusts nonlinearity for CVs 1 and 2, Osc 1-3, and filter cutoff. This is accompanied by a new Voice Variation control, Key Tracking, which adjusts the variation of nonlinearity between voices. Both controls default to 0, so that existing sounds are not affected.
  • MIDI Mapping is improved in several ways. Previously, inactive mappings (to un-selected effects or electric piano types, for instance) were hidden; now they are always displayed. The effect type is now included in the parameter name. MIDI Mapping for effects enable is now common to the effect slot, rather than being independent per effect type.
  • In the Librarian, if a Collection is selected and then all of its items are deleted or moved out of the Collection, the Collection name is now removed from the filters list.
  • When undoing an import action, the message now reads "Please wait…"
  • Automation of 2- and 3-way switches now plays back properly.
  • Previously, the Import and Export progress dialogs might not have closed properly. This has now been fixed.
  • Previously, if the user edited a Set List, closed the Set List window, and then used Undo, a crash could occur. This has now been fixed.
  • Previously, "Settings > Check now…" for new version resulted in a communication error in the effect version, ARP 2600 FX. This has now been fixed.
  • Previously, with specific Program parameter settings, changing Programs rapidly could cause a crash. This has now been fixed.
  • Windows only: Previously, when exporting data, the progress bar could remain stuck on the screen. This has now been fixed.
  • Windows only: previously, dialog boxes might have overlapped. This has now been fixed.

1.0.9

  • Graphics resources are now stored separately and shared by all versions of the ARP 2600, including the standalone application and AU/VST3/AAX plug-ins. This reduces the size of the installer download, application, and plug-ins by a substantial amount.
  • Previously, the asterisk next to the Performance name, indicating an edited state, often showed after changing performances in VST3 hosts. This has now been fixed.
  • Improved Motion Sequence synchronization.
  • Modulation of Motion Sequence Rate is now supported.
  • MIDI mappings for Unison Ensemble effect parameters now appear in the MIDI Map list.
  • Renamed the "REVERB" mod matrix category for the front-panel reverb as PANEL REVERB, for clarity.
  • Shortened prefix for MODE SWEEP FILTER Mod Matrix destination names so that they will appear without truncation.
  • Parametric EQ band enable 1-4 and Unison Ensemble effects parameters are now available for automation.  
  • Previously, the Reverb slot inadvertently exposed Wet/Dry as a modulation and automation target. This has now been fixed.
  • The installer now allows installation of plug-ins even if a newer version is present.
  • Worked around problems in a shared library which intermittently caused minor graphics glitches when the UI size was not 100%. (These affected the down-arrow caret in the effect type selector and the "power" button graphic.)
  • Previously, the CMT ID might have intermittently been incorrect at startup. This has now been fixed.
  • Previously, reopening the plug-in UI in Logic could in rare situations cause an openGL crash. This has now been fixed.
  • Previously, creating a mod routing for the Transpose switch caused a crash. This has now been fixed.
  • Windows only: previously, in the standalone application, if a modal dialog (e.g. Settings) was open, and the Windows+D shortcut was used to minimize all windows, the application window could only be reopened by pressing Windows+D again (and not by clicking the taskbar icon or using alt-tab). This has now been fixed.

1.0.6

  • For the VCF LP 1 and LP 2 types, improved audio fidelity with high resonance at extremely high cutoff frequencies (over 20 kHz, typically via modulation). 
  • Previously, the Performance Volume parameter did not display the correct value when opening a previously-saved plug-in instance. This has now been fixed.
  • Removed more inapplicable items from the published automation parameters. Previously recorded automation will still play back correctly.
  • In 1.0.5, the Arpeggiator mode knob sometimes didn't point to the correct position. This has now been fixed.
  • Previously, when opening a pre-existing plug-in instance, some buttons showed the "Off" graphic even if they were On. This has now been fixed.
  • Improved graphics behavior when clicking on the VCA Lin/Exp buttons.
  • Windows only: Previously, the text in Effect Type selectors was sometimes slightly blurred. This has now been fixed.

1.0.5

  • Resolved graphics issues with the patch panel on specific Windows GPUs.
  • Improved patch panel rendering on non-HiDPI displays when the UI size is set greater than 100%.
  • Improved CPU usage.
  • The initial state of the Sync to Host button is now shown correctly. Additionally, the Tempo field is now grayed out when Sync to Host is enabled.
  • Volume and Tempo now support automation.
  • For Volume, VCO and VCF Frequencies, and various effects parameters, DAW automation values now appear as a percentage of the control position. Previously recorded automation will still play back correctly.
  • Some inapplicable items were incorrectly included in the published automation parameters. This has now been fixed. Previously recorded automation will still play back correctly.
  • Improved synchronization between LFOs and the Motion Sequencer when the Motion Sequencer is switched from off to on while voices are sounding. 
  • In the Sound Browser and the Librarian window, Categories and Collections are now kept sorted even when initial selection is missing, and when showing "All Data" in the Librarian.
  • The Performance, Effect, Scale, and Set List selectors include a "filtered list" icon between the inc and dec arrows. This icon shows that the list is affected by settings in the Sound Browser window (such as selected Categories, Collections, and text search). Clicking the icon clears the filters without needing to open the Sound Browser. There is now more space between the icon and the inc/dec buttons, which makes it easier to click.
  • When an updated version is detected, the download link now uses https instead of http. The previous use of http caused a security warning to appear in Chrome browsers.
  • Windows only: previously, minimizing and then restoring all windows (via Win + D or a trackpad gesture) could cause the patch panel to display incorrectly. This has now been fixed.
  • Windows only: previously, the VST3 plug-in did not load correctly in PluginGuru Unify. This has now been fixed.

1.0.2

  • Improvements to initial selection of the active Set List.
  • The "Buy" button in the demo version now leads to the correct URL.
  • Improved synchronization between Arpeggiator, Motion Sequencer, and LFO.
  • Previously, creating a modulation routing to ADSR/AR and AUX ENV Gate Source or Manual Start caused a crash. This has now been fixed.

1.0.1

  • Corrected typo in installer notes.
  • Selects the factory Set List by default.

1.0

  • Initial version.
