What's New in 2.1

Version 2.1 expands the T1 with better backup workflows, improved harmonic tools, more flexible FX Track behavior, and a broad set of stability and usability improvements.

For the complete release history, see the Changelog.

Highlights​

Project Save/Load in T1 Config​

You can now save and load complete T1 states directly from the T1 Config application.

This makes it easier to:

  • back up full projects
  • restore a previous setup
  • move a setup between machines
  • share complete T1 states

See Project for the full workflow.

Loading a Project replaces the current contents of the T1 with the contents of the selected project file.

Hold Mode​

Hold Mode lets you latch notes from either the T1’s internal keyboard or an external MIDI source.

This is especially useful for:

  • sustaining harmonic material on FX Tracks
  • playing live input into generative structures
  • holding notes while shaping rhythm and modulation

New Voicing Styles​

Version 2.1 adds two new Voicing Styles:

  • Up/Down
  • Climb Up/Down

These make it easier to create more animated chord movement and arpeggio-like patterns from the same note pool.

Per-Parameter Random Lock​

Random sequences can now be locked per parameter.

This makes it possible to:

  • keep a random sequence you like on one parameter
  • continue evolving other parameters independently
  • build more controlled combinations of stable and changing modulation

Expanded FX Track Routing​

FX Tracks now support more flexible MIDI input behavior, including:

  • Omni
  • Same
  • Fixed

There is also an active Track filter, making it easier to control which Tracks receive MIDI input.

Improvements​

Version 2.1 also includes a range of workflow and behavior improvements, including:

  • faster save and load times
  • CC autosave in Tracks
  • Tempo saved and loaded with Banks
  • Tracks in FX mode continue running while the T1 is stopped
  • optional output of incoming CC and Pitch Bend from T1
  • improved value button range when working with CCs
  • Random Rate and Time no longer follow Division
  • clearing Pitch returns the root note

Stability and Fixes​

The 2.1 series also includes many fixes and refinements, including improvements to:

  • Pattern quantization with SYNC IN
  • CC transmission behavior
  • loading Banks that use the new Voicing Styles
  • crash handling in latched views
  • Program Change behavior for Banks 9–16 on MIDI Channel 2
  • note handling in alternative scales across Cycles
  • analog clock start/reset behavior
  • Pattern switching while playing
  • Track delay and Cycle timing behavior
  • Repeats Time randomization

Minor Updates in 2.1.1–2.1.3​

After the initial 2.1.0 release, additional maintenance updates improved stability further:

  • 2.1.1 fixed a crash when tapping a knob after changing Track in latched view
  • 2.1.2 fixed loading of Banks that use the new Voicing Styles
  • 2.1.3 fixed Pattern quantization when receiving SYNC IN and corrected duplicate CC transmission during playback
