Preview for Electra v3.5:

The update to v3.5 is free for all Electra3 owners. It is a major update and downward compatible with all previous versions. All existing song projects and patches can be loaded without any further steps necessary. They will benefit from the enhanced sound-quality.

What's new?

4 additional INSERT FX slots:

• Each of the 4 layers has an additional insert effect slot. Here you can pick from from 64 different effect types.

20 additional MATRIX slots:

• Each of the 4 layers now has 5 additional modulation matrix slots. They can be accessed by clicking on the '11-15' button.

Enhanced sound:

• Major and minor chords sound better with the microtuning mode 'Fat tune clean'.
• Enhanced sound of the Reverbs Hall and Room. They have a smoother rolloff, less phasing, more detail and more depth.
• Enhanced sound of the Reverbs Infinity, Cathedral and Big. They have a smoother rolloff, less phasing, higher precision and more depth.
• Enhanced sound of the Reverbs Glass, Plate and Cold. They have a smoother rolloff, less phasing, more detail and more depth.
• Enhanced sound of Delay. It has a nicer stereo field and better default values.
• Enhanced sound of Delay Band. It has a nicer stereo field.
• Enhanced sound of Delay Diffuse. It has a nicer stereo field.
• Phychoacoustic processing is now calculated with 64 bit precision.
• The equalizer is now calculated with 64 bit precision.
• The enhanced FFT precision results in more accurate resampling of waveforms.
• COPY->Stack unison sounds more in-tune.

New features for the GUI:

• A small target icon is shown next to the ENVELOPE and LFO which can be used for drag & drop.
• It is now possible to change the LFO speed by clicking on the frequency display.

More easy layering of sounds:

• It is now possible to copy and paste layers among different synth instances.
• 'FILE->Load patch to synth layer' now opens the patch browser where you can comfortably stack a patch.
• 'PASTE->Load a patch to current layer' opens the patch browser where you can comfortably stack a patch.

Enhancements for the GUI:

• The skins for the ZOOM levels 66% and 100% are sharper.
• The animations of displays and other GUI elements are smoother. They are twice as fast.
• More precise graphics for the box shadows.
• The BROWSER button is wider and is not longer called BROWS.
• The menu entries in COPY and PASTE have been reworked to be more straightforward.
• Initializing a layer or patch sets the current envelope and matrix tab to the first one.
• Enabling a layer with the ON button automatically selects the layer for editing.
• When using drag & drop the correctly linked matrix page is always shown automatically.
• Loop-points are hidden if no sample is used.
• More detailed descriptions for some tooltips.
• LFO frequency is shown more precisely.
• It is not longer possible to freeze the synth by importing gigantic wave files as waveforms.
• Many small enhancements.

Further enhancements:

• Workaround for crappy DAWs that return garbage vales as bpm-rate or song-position.
• Better default values for the 'init' patch.

Fixes:

• Fixed a typo in 'OSC23 FM'.
• 'LP Butter' and some fractal filters could emit a tiny click under very special conditions.
• Removed a tiny DC offset that could occur with Delay Wide if LOW CUT is set to exactly 0.
