Good to know
- Holding OCT- and OCT+ together for 5 seconds also jumps to the update loader: tap them together for POLY / MONO and let go.
- Saving a preset does not save a newly drawn wave: save the wave first (EDIT, SAVE), then the preset.
- 16 factory waves (SINE, SAW ... SCRATCH) and 32 presets to start from; a save needs a name (KNOB 3 picks letters).
- EVOLUTION, ORGANIC, SPECTRAL, LIVING and PATCH BLEND only appear in MONO: tap OCT- and OCT+ together, then LFO.
- Wave C does nothing at DEPTH 0: raise ETCH (KNOB 2 on PLAY) to hear it.
- Experimental firmware: keep a stock firmware file at hand before installing.
A community cheat sheet by the hub, not by the firmware's makers: when in doubt, their manual is right.
