DUB-1 1.4.2 makes a Set's Mix sound like a DJ's mix: the next piece now comes in under the old one, with no silence between them.

Changed
- Mix: no more hole between two pieces. In 1.4.0 the old piece emptied out first: its kick left five to ten bars before the end, the echo faded, and the next piece came in thin, up to twelve seconds without a beat. Now the old kick plays on to two bars before the end, as a DJ's outgoing record, and the next piece's intro plays as from its second phrase, its kick (one and three) under the held echo. Across a Mix the music never drops away for more than about a bar.
- The held echo's swell kept near the music. Fog's echo used to swell 10 to 15 dB over the music in its last bars; it now stays close to the music's level, in a Mix and a Segue.
- Segue: the old kick plays on to two bars before the end too, and the echo is held a bar longer, into the next song's second bar.
- The outro called in a song's intro (HOME held + PLAY), in a Set's Segue or Mix, is now as long as the intro had been, and the chord is thrown into the held echo at the end. Before, it played the whole outro with almost nothing left, then twenty seconds of silence.
LP and Endless sound exactly as before.
Upgrading
Projects saved by 1.4.0 and 1.4.1 load as they are (the save format is still 35), and so does everything saved since 1.0.0.
Installing
Use the web installer above, or download dub-1.4.2.fwsc below and run python3 tools/fm1_install.py dub-1.4.2.fwsc from a checkout of the source. To go back, use the installer's "Back to the stock firmware", or M-VAVE's M-UPGRADE. Installing other firmware is at your own risk; an FM-1 that fails to start twice comes up in a safe mode the installer can reach.
Everything new in 1.4.0 is in the 1.4.0 release; 1.4.1 fixed PRESETS turned fast.
