E2 Update 1.10 out now!

The carry over of mfx is much better too, or maybe I'm imagining it.

So in short. 3 big gripes.
Clicking- much better on synth, not changed on drums
Fx tails - Yes! I was wrong. If the fx is the same on both patterns it doesn't cut off!
Note tails - no change, though a note played in pattern 1 will cut off but will pick up the ifx on pattern 2, I think. It's a bit hard to tell!

But, pattern change is much improved.

A bit underwhelming, nothing more or less than I expected, whatever Mistabishi wants me to believe.

Whoa, thanks for the reviews Frenzies! Seems like they made good progress. So IFX carry over to next pattern if the IFX is the same on both parts? That would be a major win indeed.

To me it worked like a dead pixel. Once you see it you're screwed. I can live with the parts on both patterns needing to have the same IFX and might just pick one up again

Edit: Too bad about the notes still being cut short.

Yeah it seems that if you have the same on both patterns you get the fx tail. Also if you have the same, but one ifx is turned off it will pick up the note when the pattern is changed and apply the ifx to it to smooth out the change, which is odd, but almost effective.

Confirmed, this is much better now if you're using patterns with the same IFX. Combined with being able to copy and paste certain parts from pattern to pattern, and woo hoo.

I never really had much issue with the clicking, so I can't easily confirm that one.

That is pretty neat, abrupt cuts make my ears bleed. Though not perfect it is still better than cutting off parts. Really a pity long notes are still cut off. A nice pad should carry over it's tail, specially if the part on the next pattern has the same pad but no notes playing, it should let the note die naturally.

Still good news though! They've made good progress. Can't wait to see what James Pullen will announce for the next firmware

Try the new step edit for gate time. I'm liking it.

It defaults to tens, shift will give you the old behavior of tiny increments.

Is there also a shortcut for TIE?

No shortcut. But since it now steps in tens, it only takes a small turn of the data knob to get there.

Before this firmware update, you'd have to crank that thing for ages.

I noticed that there's a quantization on arp or I'm just hearing things?

Confirmed: Insert delay tails now work across 2 patterns with the same delay on the same part.

But if your second pattern has a different effect, you don't get the tails from the previous pattern.

A different delay seems to sort of carry over, but you get a time-division change glitch.

Vastly improved, totally happy with the new behavior!

The step editor of the ES2 supports Osc Edit as motion sequence parameter. Does the new E2 firmware the same?

Using Trigger + Part Pad to select a new part directly no longer unmutes that part if the Mute button is lit. Yeah.

Importing all patterns takes about 30-40 seconds, saving takes about 5. Just a heads up for people thinking about using this on stage. Perhaps faster cards mean faster loading, I don't know.
