New genoQs OS and Website

"Dear all,
some time has passed since we brought to you version 1.0 of the Octopus OS. Response has been tremendous, and we have been quiet since. So have been most of you, playing your machines, as it turned out. And rightfully so!

In case you were wondering about us.. we were busy doing some homework in the background. And finally, we are now ready to present you our latest achievements!

1. NEW WEB PRESENCE
We have completely redesigned our web page. Same place, different look!
We are far from done, but this structure enables us to grow more easily.

2. NEW FORUM
The new page incorporates a new forum engine.
We will not move contents from the old forum into the new one, but let
us know if you find that something should be carried over and we will work
out a solution.
The user access information is not carried over either, so you need to
re-register to use the new forum. Sorry for any inconvenience this may pose.

3. IMMEDIATE DELIVERY
We have significantly cut our delivery lead time for Octopus.
For all practical purposes, one can say that Octopus is now available
without any wait!

4. FACE LIFTED DOCUMENTATION
We have re-formatted the Octopus documentation, and hope that you will
find it more easy to read. We have also isolated out the tutorials, to make
them easier to handle and hopefully multiply in the near future.
Separate PDFs in A4 and Letter versions will appear shortly, watch the space.

5. OS UPDATE
Finally, the release of a new OS version!
OS 1.02 is primarily a maintenance release, but does bring you a few goodies:
. Multi-track MIDI recording
. Channel pressure is now part of the implementation
. Pitch bend is processed in 14 bit resolution
. Throughput of MIDI data when recording
The update to 1.02 is recommended for all users.

We hope you enjoy the new artifacts, and as always, we much look forward to your comments and feedback.

Until then, happy sequencing!
