Wavesequencer Hyperion Releases
1.51
released 04/3/24
New features:
Notes input node:
Polyphonic portamento (Glide knob) with 3 modes (pull down list selector) -
Default - last voice frequency: Bend from the voice frequency that the selected voice in the voice pool was previously set to.
Closest voice frequency: Bend from the voice frequency in the voice pool that was set closest to the current note frequency.
Furthest voice frequency: Bend from the voice frequency in the voice pool that was set furthest from the current note frequency.
(Any existing patches prior to v1.51 where multiple voices are enabled and the glide parameter is greater than 0 will have that parameter value reset to 0 when loaded to prevent un-expected results.)
New pre-mapped E output pin for expression pedal MIDI cc output.
P channel pressure pin is now merged with the A (polyphonic) aftertouch pin - in general all external controllers will either transmit channel pressure or polyphonic aftertouch - in the unlikely case they are received at the same time the input data will be mixed together. This makes patching easier and allows all existing factory patches to take advantage of polyphonic aftertouch controllers without re-patching.
The default mode of the notes input node is that if the aftertouch pin is not connected to a target, then the modwheel output will also include the aftertouch value - this can be turned off with the 'AT to MW' checkbox.
(Existing patches with connections to the original P pin will have those connections automatically connected to the A pin.)
New control knobs for: aftertouch pin smoothing rate control, Expression pedal output pin rate control, Y-axis pin rate control.
This allows to smooth out those controls to avoid jerky input data or with extreme settings to allow very smooth transitions.
This does not affect data received with the MIDI CC input node or any of the Macro control knobs.
New filter buttons on the layer controls panel:
Layer settings lock control prevents the layer settings (zones, transpose, volume and also the arp settings) from getting wiped when loading in a new single layer patch. This is very helpful when auditioning different sounds for a combi with split and different layer volumes or arp settings that you want to maintain when trying different potential sounds.
The other toggle buttons are filter controls to block or enable pitch bend, modwheel, aftertouch, expression pedal, or sustain pedal output.. really handy for multi-layer combi patches where maybe you only want one layer to respond to the modwheel etc.
The filter controls as saved as part of patch data.
Bug fixes:
Some tooltip bubbles were getting clipped at the edge of the plugin window - this is now fixed.
