Take 5 new betas download location tip

[lewisfrancis]

In case you were also confused about how to download the new betas -- they're located as links at the bottom of the first post in the Take 5 Beta Main OS 2.0.0.13 and Panel OS 1.0.6 thread.

I've updated to OS 2.0.0.13 and Panel OS 1.0.6, and everything seems to be cool after a very brief review of some of my patches.

Not sure what to make of the Take 5 and TEO-5 Overdrive modes -- not hearing a lot of difference -- anyone have an explainer? I didn't test the global overdrive, making an assumption that the filter overdrive is what changes? Maybe that was a faulty assumption.

Thanks! I removed the old OS post which might clear things up a bit.

The TEO/Take-5 OD mode differences are subtle. The curves are the main difference, which you might notice in the onset of the param - you could try modulating it with an LFO to hear.

Thanks, I'll give that a try.

When scrolling through the Global or Program settings, I notice that if you stop and then immediately reverse your direction, the current parameter doesn't change -- has it always been this way?

I don't believe there were any changes to encoder handling, but will make a note to double check!

The difference in the OD curve seems to mainly affect the lowest part of the range on the knob, like from zero to 9 o’clock.  It’s more noticeable if you modulate it with a LFO or something.

Encoder debounce and pot de-noising are always a balancing act to get to work well, and sometimes causes lag or odd response when suddenly reversing direction on an encoder, or moving a pot slowly.

While on the topic of firmware updates, the TEO-5 update changelog has a list of fixes made such as the pot jump issue, sequencer issues, etc.  Were these changes applied to the Take 5 firmware as well?  Or did they not affect it?  When I learned of the LFO amount jump bug on the TEO-5, I was able to replicate it on my Take 5 as well (prior to the new beta), though it didn’t happen very often on it.

TEO-5 Main 1.1.0.1

New Feature: Selectable TEO/Take-5 overdrive curves
Bug Fix: Mod slot 8 scaling issue
Bug Fix: NRPN/CC commands don’t update onscreen values
Bug Fix: Pot handling improvements
Bug fix: Rests input at the end of sequence cause timing issues
Bug Fix: Various small bug fixes, optimizations, and improvements

Most of these issues weren't present on the Take-5. Some settle time is normal immediately following turning a potentiometer, but it should be improved on the TEO to better match our other instruments.

Solved with Take5_Panel_v1.1.2.syx.
