Summer Update for PO KO II

As a PO KO II fan (and owner) I'm delighted to say we have a summer update for the massive tabletop-calculation-sampler! Amongst a wealth of updates, OS 2.5 brings Audio over USB direct to your computer or mobile device. Also included are variable sample rates, and equal length autochop (for your Amens), the ability to  reverse samples, Longer Mono Samples (from 20 to 40 seconds), improvements to the Arpeggio and much more. Here are the other bits (fixes not included):

audio and sampling

• added: Improved timestretching: Heavily stretched samples sound cleaner, preventing beats from doubling or skipping. Ported from EP-1320.
• added: Crop sample to trim points: Hold SHIFT+SOUND in the Trim page to permanently trim the file on disk.
• added: Playback position display: SOUND EDIT TRI shows position in seconds while a pad is held.
   

Sequencer and Performance

• added: Per-pad pattern copy/paste. Hold a pad + SHIFT+C to copy that pad's notes. SHIFT+D to paste.
• added: Erase per-track fader automation. ERASE+FADER+pad erases automation for a specific track.
• added: Timing correct, per-pad time shift: Hold a pad and press +/- to shift all notes in that track by one tick.
• added: Hold FX during latched resampling (SHIFT+pad) to tweak FX X/Y live.

Keys mode

• changed: New scale/key selection. Hold KEYS + turn X knob for key, Y knob for scale.
• added: Three new scales: Blues (BLU), Harmonic Minor (H.MI), Melodic Minor (M.MI).
• changed: Scale and key are now saved per project.

MIDI and sync

• added: CC 64 sustain pedal support for Key and Legato voices.
• added: CC 12/13 control for FX X/Y parameters
• added: MIDI identity request/reply now works over TRS MIDI.

improvements

• FX dry/wet balance: Reverb, delay and chorus now preserve more dry signal as wet is turned up (ported from EP-40).
• Mono panning: Constant power panning -- mono sounds no longer get quieter when panned.
• BLE MIDI clock: Reduced jitter by measuring BPM per beat rather than per tick. Improves timestretch and sidechain sync over BLE.
• BAR time stretch now syncs correctly in non-4/4 time signatures.
