MicroWave Firmware 2.0 Release  
 
Here is an overview of the most important new features of  
the MicroWave 2.0 Firmware Release:  
 
- More than 25, mostly algorithmic Wavetables  
have been added. In addition to that, the MicroWave now  
supports up to 24 user-programmable algorithmic Wavetables,  
so called UPAWs.  
 
- 6 new Voice Allocation Modes have been added, including  
Mono Retrigger and Single Trigger modes.  
 
- Fingered Portamento and Glissando is now available in all  
Voice Allocation Modes.  
 
- New sound parameters: Oscillator and noise levels are now  
indepently modulatable, LFOs now have Sample & Hold function,  
LFO 2 can now generate a phase-shifted output of LFO 1 and  
Midi Clock rate now usable as modulation source.  
 
- New SysEx Functions such as Store, Compare and Recall Functions  
for Multi and Sound programs. Button and Dial commands have  
been added to allow complete remote control. Realtime Tuning  
and Velocity table edit is now supported too.  
 
- Many minor improvements, such as automatic conversion of Program,  
Wavetable, Wave, Tuning table and Velocity table numbers when  
copying complete memory to or from card.

********************* Changes in Version 1.42 ******************************* 
 
- some minor bugfixes

- Panic function now sends All-Note-Off and Reset-All-Controllers messages. 
- Improved factory test routines 
 
What is new in Version 1.40 compared to versions 1.00 thru 1.30 ? 
 
- some minor bugfixes 
 
- Improved Program selection 
While holding down the <Program Up> button, pressing the <Program down> 
button will increase the program number in steps of ten. Same applies for 
decreasing the program number by first pressing <Program down> button. 
 
- Panic function handling 
Panic function will now be executed by pressing and holding <Mode> button 
and then pressing <Program down> button.  
 
- Higher oscillator frequencies 
The highest frequency for OSC1 and 2 is now about 8.6 kHz, in old versions 
it was only 6.5 kHz. The maximum frequency of OSC3 is about 4.3 kHz except 
OSC2 is synced to OSC3, in this case it is about 3.6 kHz. Note that in old 
systems, OSC3 frequency was always limited to max 3.2 kHz. 
 
- Assign modes for the arpeggiator  
Notes are played in the order they are played, up to ten notes are memorized. 
In addition, the pattern will be repeated in the desired range of octaves : 
 
[A.UP] Assign mode, octaves upwards 
[A.dn] Assign mode, octaves downwards 
[A.AL] Assign mode, octaves alternating 
 
- LFO1 can be synced to MIDI clock 
This is achieved by selecting one of three additional waveforms : 
 
[tr.C] triangular wave, clocked 
[SA.C] sawtooth wave, clocked 
[PL.C] Pulse wave, clocked  
 
Once a clocked waveform has been selected, the speed will be displayed 
in musical terms, eg. [2b ] means a full LFO cycle needs two bars of a 
4/4 time, [16_] stands for a dotted 16th note, [ 8 ] for an 1/8 note and 
so on. If the arpeggiator is used, the LFO is synced to the internal clock, 
except the arp itself is synced to incoming MIDI clocks.
