Improvements

Musical Resources

Some DNC Sounds have been modified to also work in Mono mode.

Bug fixes

Various Modes

TXT files with the same name of a Standard MIDI File, or TXT files linked to a Standard MIDI File-based SongBook entry, were sometimes not loaded when selecting the referring Song.

Style Play Mode

The focus on the Tempo field was lost when selecting a different tab in the main page.

SongBook

When saving a SongBook entry over itself, with the “Write Current Resource” option checked, the Key parameter was reset.

Loading a Song-based entry with some particular Keys, and the Italian language selected in Global > Interface, could cause a crash.

Sound Mode

Drum Kits created on a Pa80 (using only Factory Drum samples), and never saved with a Pa1X, Pa2X or Pa800 (in this way, making a file format conversion), could cause problems when loaded on Pa2X/Pa800 OS 2.0.

Musical Resources

The Performance “Jimmi Org. DNC” and the STS “Organ DNC” now have the Dry parameter turned on on the Upper 2 and Upper 3 tracks.

New DNC Sounds

Improvements

Various Modes

A new polyphony algorithm improves the overall performance with a sophisticated real time control, which also takes psychoacoustic parameters into account. Even with denser arrangements, it is less likely you will hear cut notes now.

“Lyrics & Marker” is now “Lyrics / Score”

Zoomed slider and Tempo display do not appear in the Lyrics/Score page.

Context-sensitive Write Global

Chord Recognition

Chord abbreviations are now easier to read, by following the standard suggested by “Standardized Chord Symbol Notation (A Uniform System for the Music Profession)” by C. Roemer and C. Brandt.

Bug fixes

Sampling

Exporting a multisample as a .KMP file resulted in the Loop and Reverse parameters not being read correctly by the Triton

Media

When erasing a single Style from a .SET file on a storage device, it was also deleted from the internal memory (SSD-S)

New features

Sound Edit > DrumKit > Sample Setup

The Reverse option is now editable on RAM Drum Samples.
This function is immediately available to new samples (i.e., those created with OS version 1.60). To make it available to existing samples, you must first convert them to the new format, by using a simple procedure. Load the .SET folder containing the old samples. Go to Sampling mode. From the Record page, choose the existing sample to convert. Without any editing, choose from the page menu the Write command, and save the sample over itself. In case the sample is stereo, please don’t forget to convert both the L(eft) and R(ight) side of the sample.

Voice Processor > Setup

Low Cut control added. Cuts away pops and rumble below the selected frequency. Can be set to 60, 80 or 120 Hz.

Improvements

Global > General Controls > Interface > Background Color

The names of background colors have now been changed to numbers.

Voice Processor

Better clipping handling on the audio input signal.

Reduced noise floor when a microphone is connected to the AUDIO INPUT 1.

Improved EQ musicality and clarity.

Improved Voice Processor Presets and Global parameters. Warning: By loading the new Musical Resources, all custom presets will be deleted. Before upgrading, save them to a storage device, then, after having loaded the new Musical Resources, load them again one at a time into the available locations.

Bug fixes

Musical Resources

The MoreMid Bass recalled a RAM Multisample.

A few Drum Kits had wrong Exclusive Group numbers assigned.

Song Play > Preferences > Track Settings

Even with the Harmony Track set to one of the Sequencer's settings, harmony notes were still received from the keyboard. This only happened when the Harmony Mode parameter (in the Global > Voice Processor Preset > Harmony page) was set to Chord.

SongBook

When assigning a Song to Sequencer 2 from a SongBook entry, the Voice Processor Preset was changed even if locked (Global > General Controls > Lock page).

Global > Voice Processor Setup

The “DryOff” label was shown when the value of the Level parameter was turned to zero. This has been removed (no DryOff condition exists in Pa800).

Global > Voice Processor Preset

After using a footswitch or an EC5 switch to turn the Delay effect off, it could not be used to turn the Delay effect on again.

Sound Edit, Style Record, Media Load and Erase

Sometimes, Styles, Pads and Performances could not be overwritten or deleted.

Sampling

Under certain situations, after a series of Import, Load and Slice operations, the Pa800 was no longer able to boot up.
