Fixed Scale
The new "Fixed Scale" option has been added to the Sound >
Pitch > Pitch Mod page,
When this parameter is turned on on an oscillator, Pitch Bend
and Sub Scale have no effect on its tuning. The relevant parame-
ters are greyed out and non-selectable:
This is useful when assigning to the oscillator a noise (like the
breath noise of a reed) with a fixed frequency, that must not
change on different notes and different pitches.
Global Mode
STS Scale/Quarter Tone Lock added
The new STS Scale/Quarter Tone Lock has been added to the
Global > General Controls > Lock page.
When the lock is closed, scale settings will not change when
choosing a different STS or SongBook entry. It does not change
even if a Style is selected, and the SINGLE TOUCH BUTTON is
turned on.
