MG137 Changelog
33
New rmware available at http://makenoisemusic.com/manuals/mg137_rmware.zip .
1. Improves Vari-Speed response for slow modulation rates.
2. Improves SD Card le format for more compatibility with software .wav le formats.
3. Doubles total record time per Reel. Upgraded memory performance oers an increase from 1.45 minutes to 2.9 minutes of
record time. There is no change in audio delity, which remains at 48kHz 32-bit.
If you are using Splices that are over 1 minute long, the Slide parameter is scanning across a massive amount of material.
Therefore, the longer the Splice, the longer it takes to get to where you are Sliding toward. Imagine a tape machine shuttling
forward or backward to get to your desired destination. No, we cannot change this, as the MG is already scanning as fast as
possible. The new double record time rmware makes this even more of a factor.
Read and Write times will be MUCH longer when you have a Full 2.9 minute reel. For example, if you decided to erase a 5 second
Splice in the middle of a 2.9 minute reel, it would take twice as long to write as before because the MG must re-write the entire 2.9
minute reel. Keep in mind, all of this is happening in the background and should not cause too much hassle. That being said,
when the Shift Button is ashing, it is best to not perform more SD Card actions. For most granular processing, Splices of 10
seconds or less are recommended.
So why even bother increasing record time to 2.9 minutes? Well, it allows for storing even more Splices on a Reel and it also makes
it possible to record long portions of a patch for later arranging within your DAW. You could potentially capture a patch including
modulations of a shorter Splice (say 10 seconds) in order to retrieve the sound from the SD Card and compile it into a larger work
using your DAW.
4. Increased max number of Splices to 300.
