Hi all,

After updating to 1.1.4.13, when I press the globals button as well as stating the current OS in the bottom right, it also says "A:3 B:7" in the bottom left.

Perhaps it was there before, but I do not recall ever seeing it before.

Anyone know what it means regardless of whether it is new or old?

Cheers!

I'm on 1.1.4.9 version and they are there. They change when you hit a key :)

This is a new feature--it displays which voice is being triggered when you press a key. It's a handy little tool.

Neat feature to replace expensive front panel features with display information. Is that the latest activated voice id for each layer? What happens to the displayed information if the current program only uses layer A?

It's all quite clear with the instrument in front of you. You are shown which voices pertain to the A and B layers, respective to the mode of the currently selected program. The display updates upon activation of the voice.

Aha, yeah I see it’s quite obvious now, I hadn’t noticed it changed before.

I’m surprised it goes from 0-7 though (on the 8 voice of course), rather than 1-8.  Doesn’t matter of course at all, just found it surprising.

Because it is written by a software developer; they never start with 1.

I am sure there are many in here who can C what you are saying! ;)

As the ancient programmer's wisdom goes (no need to take it seriously ;) ):
