GR-1 Firmware 3.0.0 - Release date 21 jan 2025 The big file handling overhaul.. New features: - Save popup for quick internal storage and naming of all entities: sample, patch, performance, multi, using just a single screen. Only the sample data type will defer to the filechooser. - The performance list allows you to easily load and save performances internally, without browsing with the file chooser. - Named performances. - Boot up with your last used performance. - Ability to store patches and samples internally. - File manager: rename, copy, delete files, and create new folders. - 4 Multi Timbral (MT) presets per performance. When [Play] is off, use [Shift] + [Bank1234] to change MT preset. - Factory reset - restores default performance, reset system settings, and deletes _all_ user data - System menu - Shutdown button to safely shutdown and avoid any possible data corruption. - Are you sure? popups for practically all destructive actions. - "Busy/working" popups for loads and saves, and "xx% done" popups for copying large amounts of files. - Text edit - Use horizontal fader to move through alphabet. - Text edit - Shift + Encoder push to enter space. - Text edit - Shift + Escape to delete character. - Mute while loading and saving performances. - File chooser - Select USB stick + [Shift] + push (Select) -> unmount - File chooser - shows file sizes. Changes: - Performance menu ([Shift] + [Perf]) now leads to 3 sub menus : a list of performances, system settings, and the file manager. - System settings are now saved separately and system-wide, instead of inside each performance. - Harmonized look for all menus: all selectable widgets can have a white rectangle around them to select. - High contrast color scheme, and bigger fonts in menus: much improved readability without sacrificing looks. - Samba file sharing now has to be enabled manually in System menu. This is done to avoid corruption. - File chooser speedups. - Removed incremental saves, as inquiry amongst users revealed this feature is rarely used. - Slightly faster loads of patches and performances. - #1039 separately loaded patch can now be undone by pressing preset. only after save will it be permanent. Bug fixes: - File chooser - "SAMPLES" detection was broken. - #996 play-mode part could "duck" when playing midi chord progressions on other part. - #995 Patch that was saved while recording, will start recording when recalled _twice_ in a row. - #949 save filechooser - a file could be "entered" like it was a folder. - #959 wav name in patch folder now always the same as 'sample' field in patch.grp file. - when starting up with a single part (but not part 1) active, it would show multitimbral display. Known issues: - Clicks in distortion FX (similar to snare instrument pick up noise) when multiple voices triggering/releasing.. - No visual feedback on a bunch of CC's. - Freeze on first USB plug after firmware update (a very old one).
