"Winter Plankton Zaps firmware has been updated to V1.1. We have introduced new randomize template modes for quickly creating bassdrums, snares, and other percussion sounds, simultaneous control of both oscillators (for melodic lines), a new trigger delay setting to get proper slot changes with mot sequencers and an screen saver among other things.

New features and improvements:

New 'Randomize' templates for creating Sounds and Banks: Bass drum 1, Bass drum 2, Snare drum, Low drum toms, FM percussion, FM and AM percussion, Glass AM, Pitched FM tones, High tones, Multi-drum 1, Multi-drum 2, Chaos, Dirty 1, Dirty 2, Retrigger envelope 1, Retrigger envelope 2, and Full set template (for Banks).

Simultaneous CV IN control for pitch 1 & 2: You can now control both oscillators with just one CV source.

New Trigger delay setting: for all the Gate and CV sources that change the CV after rising the gate, we have added a configurable trigger delay, so once the trigger is received we wait x ms to read the CV.
Screen saver: We added a new adjustable screen and energy saver following user requests.
Now it's possible to randomize a slots or banks via CV IN trigger.
Added CV in control for Retrigger time and Slope type.
Improved SLOT buttons behavior in MUTE, now we show both muted slots and playing slots (with a more intense light)
Bug fixes:

Fixed a bug where the HPF noise fader CV value was not being sent when it was assigned as an output.
Fixed a bug where the slope parameter was not responding well to random values.
CV in 'Morph to' bug fixed
Fixed a bug where the morph destination was no correctly reset after removing the cable from the cv input.
CV 6 input was not working with CV BANK Change.
Other minor bugs fixed.
