EssenceFM v7.0

video upload by Kodamo

"Discover the new features in this v7.0 firmware for your EssenceFM MK1/MKII.
Full list and download here: https://kodamo.org/firmwares?synth=efm"

v7.0 Contents

Two LFOs: Expand your sound design possibilities with a second LFO for all voices. It works like the first LFO except that it does not have Attack or Delay parameters. It has no hardwired AM/FM mod on the operator, so it should be used in the mod matrix.

UI Improvement: Volumes for all 6 operators can now be edited at the same time. When you are on the Base tab, operators become color-matched to the encoders that control their volume.

Global > Display > Startup Bank: allows to choose which Patch or Voice bank you want to load on startup.

Mod Matrix: Added each slot's ratio as modulation destination. To produce the intended effect modulations have to be put in the right order (eg. slot 1 modulates slot 2 that modulates another parameter), otherwise modulations will occur across voices (which can be used for more complex effects).
