Jupiter 8 template: The Origin 1.3 firmware embeds the new Jupiter 8 template which recreates the unique voice architecture and design of this legendary analog synthesizer.
- New play modes: o POLY_UNISON: emulates the Jupiter8 "UNISON" mode, that shares up to 8 voices...
- Sequencer switch automation: Actions on the Sequencer "LOOP" and "PATTERNS" switches can be recorded as MIDI CONTROL CHANGE messages and replayed.
- Compressor module: The Origin sounds can now be processed through a brand new compressor FX module. The compressor allows adding dynamics to the sound, from smooth attacks to huge pumping effects.
- Sample & Hold module: Derived from the ARP S&H. Takes any modulation (LFO, Env...) signal at its inputs and provides a sample and hold modulation signal at its outputs.
- User Interface enhancements: o In a number of dialogs possibility to navigate between the controls and change
their value without pre-selecting them. o Possibility to select the slot preset to load using the keypad + the edit switch.
Previously it was necessary to use the browser to load a slot preset. o A new layout of the dialog makes configuration of the "live" macros easier. o The user can now define a set of favorite presets and navigate thru them with the
Preset Browser or with the +/- keys.
