Redshift 6 Firmware Update 1.7

Redshift 6 firmware update 1.7 is now live!

The major feature for this release is the Math page allowing you to tweak, combine and mangle modulators to create entirely new modulation possibilities. You get four math rows, each with one of the following engines:

• Use the Slew engine to slow the rate of change of any modulator
• The Curve engine can be used to shape the response curve of modulators (really useful for adjusting aftertouch response for example)
• The Fold engine allows folding excessive modulation amounts back instead of clipping them, useful for creative experiments
• Use the Quantize engine to turn any modulator into a stepped one
• One via not enough in the mod matrix? Use the MultiVia engine to add up to three more
• Using the Sample & Hold engine, you can turn any trigger source and modulator into a S&H modulator
• The Track & Modulator engine is similar to Sample & Hold, but the input is followed continuously while the control modulation source is above a set threshold
• With the Switch engine, you can select up to four modulators and switch between them using a trigger source
• Finally, the Crossfade engine is similar to Switch, but it allows using a modulation source to select and optionally interpolate between four other sources

Mac

• The firmware updater will ask for permissions to access files on a removable volume, you should accept or the update will fail
• During the update, there’s going to be an eject warning that you can safely ignore
• Updating might fail intermittently because of a Mac OS driver issue, trying again should help
