Skiff 2.1.1

on GitHub

Skiff 2.1.1: a drum struck again while it still rings starts without a click.

Install on the FM-1: in Chrome or Edge with the Skiff installer, or download skiff-2.1.1.fwsc below and run python tools/fm1_install.py skiff-2.1.1.fwsc. Custom firmware, at your own risk; the installer page also takes the FM-1 back to the official firmware, V15 or V16.

Install on the SMK-37 Pro: read SMK37.md first, then the same installer page, or python tools/fm1_install.py skiff-2.1.1-smk37.fwsc.

From 2.0 to 2.1: your projects, sounds and patterns stay as they are. From 1.x or Felucca: read 2.0's notes first: the installer page takes a backup and converts what needs it.

Fixed

• A drum struck again while it still rang clicked. On DRUM's own kits, a lane hit again before its last hit had died away jumped straight to the new hit's start: a click in tom rolls, ratchets and the long-decay kits such as WAR DRUMS. The new hit now starts from where the last one was, and that step falls away over about 3 ms, as your own kits' re-hits (2.0) and SAMPLE's re-strikes (2.0.3) already do.

Known

• 2.1.1's fix is tested on the computer, not yet on a unit. Chord follow and QUANTIZE SOLO (2.1) are tried on an FM-1, not yet on an SMK-37 (the same code, tested on the computer for both).
• MIDI OUT sends a following track's keys as you press them, not where chord follow moves them.
• As in 2.1: on the SMK-37, an update loader started by switching the keyboard on after a power cut mid-write is still reset by the watchdog about 40 to 45 s into each run; the installer resumes it until the write finishes. The SMK-37's sustain pedal hold is tested on the computer only.
• A full backup from the editor doesn't keep the samples' own levels and sends (nor SLICE's hand-set slices): they stay with the slot on the unit.

Going back to 2.1

• Install skiff-2.1.fwsc (or the SMK package) from 2.1's release. Nothing saved changes between 2.1 and 2.1.1.
