    This operating system introduces the following new features and fixes:


    Audio

    added: multiple delay effects supported in one Rig
    fixed: crackles while editing Pure Cabinet in combination with Space
    fixed: loud noise during shutdown

    User Interface


    added: Strobe Tuner with “cent” display replacing Bubble Level Tuner
    added: new subpage “Button Assignments” on page “Remote Settings” in System Menu allows to assign alternative functions to Remote’s TAP, TUNER, and LOOPER buttons
    added: function Looper Button 1 (Record/Playback/Overdub) and 2 (Stop) as well as Morph Button can be assigned to external switches and Remote’s TAP, TUNER, LOOPER
    added: Morph Pedal and pedal nodes “MorphPedal to Wah” and “MorphPedal to Pitch” combined with other pedal node selections on new System menu page “Pedal Links”
    added: parameter Mix in all Distortion effects enabling Morphing

    changed: Output Section cannot be locked anymore, which was meaningless anyhow
    changed: Performance Load “Pending” without automatic timeout; exit via Remote’s “LOOPER”, “TUNER” and “TAP” buttons, Profiler’s EXIT button, MIDI CC# 30 and 31
    changed: TYPE now working as preselection in Performance Mode
