The addition of Poly Aftertouch is very nice, Doesn't seem to work with everything in the matrix but still very useful.

How do you turn "soften" on? I see it. Clicking it does nothing. Stays "off." Using Reaper, VST2, Windows. EDIT: Doesn't look like it, but it's a knob. You have to drag up.

I really appreciate the extra mod slots. Still wish a basic triangle LFO was included, but easy enough to do with new line tool.

Did you apply Poly AT to a voice destination? Since it is a polyphonic source, it will not work on global destinations such as effect parameters or the LFOs.

Can’t wait to try the polyphonic aftertouch on my Hydrasynth tomorrow- thank you so much for this great free updates.

Hey Richard, trying out the update now and the new features in the step LFO section are nice! I was thinking 'soften' was going to smooth out between the steps and not the entire LFO waveform, so that is an interesting surprise.

I am still missing one feature from the OB-Xa that I own, though, and that is the sawtooth LFO waveform shape on the performance panel. I know that you can draw or now use the line tool to create a sawtooth waveform in the LFO steps section, but it's different from the OB-Xa in a couple ways: One, when the speed is very low on Obsession, I can hear the steps of the stepped LFO, where the sawtooth LFO on the OB-Xa is not stepped. Second, the shape is probably not a perfect sawtooth on the OB-Xa and it would be cool if this shape could be emulated for complete authenticity.

Another possible option could be a 'smooth' feature in the LFO steps section that will smooth out the change between two steps.

Please consider a way to create a smooth sawtooth LFO and thanks for reading.

Same place different version. Must have been undocumented last minute change in the release version. I didn't bother installing it since I thought it must be the same as the last RC......

The manual even refers to it as a knob, which frankly makes more sense to me.

It's numerical here for me also.

Earlier versions of this update did use a knob for the LFO smooth function. It was quite a bit smaller than all the other knobs on the interface. Not much space there for a knob to begin with. I personally like the numerical approach better. I can see the exact parameter value at a glance without having to click on a tiny knob. I am not a beta tester nor am I affiliated with Synapse Audio in any way. I just had a few issues and contacted support. They sent me an early version of this update.

I'm fine seeing the values, there was just nothing to indicate that drag up/down is what changes the value. I kept clicking expecting it to go from "Off" to "On" or expecting a dropdown to appear.

It's not a big deal now that I know how it works.
