Dear Diary,
After a month of work, we now have a usable implementation of six part multitimbrality, and it’s been in beta for a bit over a week. Not unexpectedly for such a sweeping change, a small swarm of bugs have surfaced, but we’ve now fixed most of them, and the few remaining bugs are in the works (new beta to be expected today or Friday latest). In addition, there’s some usability features, such as part copying, that have been requested so much that we’ll implement those before the releasing this as stable 1.3.
We’re excited about the feedback we’ve received over at Discord over the features, and would like to thank all the brave beta testers for their hard work.
In other news, Superbooth 25 is coming up next week! We’re thrilled to be presenting multitimbrality there, and hope to see as many of you there as possible! We’ll have three Redshifts with us, one set up as a multitimbral sequencing workstation with a Syntakt and a Novation Launchkey MK4 61 for control, another with a Keystep Pro, and a third “keyboardists station” with an Akai MPK261 playing over speakers, to give the Redshift a proper run through with your keyboard skills. See you at the Bungalowdorf area, hut B020.
While Superbooth will cause a few days break from the firmware development, we’re looking to finalize and release the official 1.3 firmware with multitimbrality soon afterwards!
