KPA firmware 1.8.2

wow...............a new release after the two days ago release. anyone know what are changes? the log doesn't say anything except the faster rig switching.......

I had 1.8.1 in my KPA for less than 24 hours

maybe the reported 'clicking' was fixed

1.8.2

Audio
- added: Pitch Shifter Package including MicroPitch, Transpose, Pedal Pitch, Chromatic Pitch, Harmonic Pitch
- added: Ducking parameter for Loop Mono and Loop Stereo

Performance and Stability

- improved: faster rig switching

can anybody confirm that the "clicking" is or is not there on a 1.8.x firmware?
this is the reason i am staying on 1.6.x for a while ...

yes. it is there, at least in 1.8.1............but only in the pitch shifting fx.

didn't try the 1.8.2 for now. might be there is a fix. heard someone was testing a beta that claims to reduce if not avoid the clicking noise

besides the 1.8.1 is no longer there to be downloaded. they probabily found something not good..........

• fixed: STORE doesn't work anymore in TUNER/PROFILING mode.
• fixed: a possible hang due specific MIDI SysEx commands
• fixed: cc119 value mapping didn't work right all the time
• fixed: some issues with the Power Amp boards

thanks Timo..........where did you find the change log? is it in the readme file?

...........and what is the CC119 for? in the 1.8.2 manual there is nothing new on the usual CC list

I think, I found a bug. The mix parameter of the MicroPitch goes from 0 to 100% but I can't hear any changes. It sounds like it's always on 100%.

What SysEx commands? I only know of the CC & NRPN commands. Is documentation available?

Perhaps there is no internal beta anymore and instead we all get each and every update. If so it would be good to have a more detailed changelist per release, so we can test each update and evaluate whether we need to install the latest build or stick with what we're running.

It has been already reported. See here.

Yes. Found it too after I posted it here.

Clicking is not gone and more over there some kind of weird digital noise .. Damn.

seems you have to downgrade to a OS version before 1.8.x

You can find a detailed description in the MIDI Parameter Guide. The purpose is that, if you own a 7bit only general purpose controller, you can address the value of a (continuous) parameter with a 7 bit controller where you actually would need 14 bit. Instead of sending controllers 99,98,06,38 you can send 99,98,119 where the 7 bit value gets bloated to 14bit incl. a correct mapping to center value.

Yes, see the documentation category in the download section.
