v2.1.0

December 16 2025

Features

  • Project Save/Load via T1 Config application: You can now save and load complete T1 states directly from the T1 Config application. This makes it easy to back up, restore, and share banks and patterns. In the T1 Config application, open the PROJECT menu and locate the Project Save/Load section.
    • Save: Saves the current state of the T1 as a new Project. The Project is stored locally on the connected computer as a .zip file.
    • Load: Loads a previously saved Project onto the T1. This action opens a file dialog where you can select a .zip Project file. (Note: Loading a Project will overwrite all existing data on the T1 with the contents of the selected Project.)

  • Hold mode: Allows notes to be latched, either from the T1’s internal keyboard or from an external MIDI source. To use Hold Mode, do the following:
    1. Convert a Track to an FX Track: Press [CTRL] and double-tap the Track.
    2. Open the keyboard: Double-tap the Track.
    3. Latch notes: Hold the desired notes and tap [CLEAR] to latch them. → Tap [CLEAR] again to release the latched notes.

 

  • Up/Down and Climb Up/Down Voicing styles: Two new voicing modes are added on the T1.
    • Up/Down: Moves the sequence linearly up and down in a triangle pattern ([VB4] for polyphonic, [VB12] for monophonic)
    • Climb Up/Down: Moves the sequence like Up/Down, but creates a climbing motion by stepping one note down before moving onward. ([VB5] for polyphonic, [VB13] for monophonic)

 

  • Lock random sequence per parameter: The random sequence can now be locked per parameter. This allows for keeping a random sequence for specific parameters, while adding variation on others.
    1. Tap and hold the RANDOM encoder
    2. Turn any encoder to add random modulation
    3. Double tap the turned encoder to bypass random variation for that parameter (the visualization goes from RED to BLUE, when the random sequence is locked)

 

  • FX mode routing options
    • Omni: Receive MIDI input from all channels
    • Same: Receive MIDI input from the same channels as selected on the track
    • Fixed: Receive MIDI on a fixed MIDI channel

 

  • FX mode active track filter
    • Receive MIDI input only on selected tracks

Enhancements

  • Faster save and load times
  • CC is autosaved in tracks
  • Clearing PITCH returns root note
  • Random RATE and TIME no longer follows DIVISION
  • Tracks in FX mode are now running while the T1 is stopped
  • Value buttons when using CC has better range
  • Option in T1 Config to output incoming CC and Pitch Bend from T1

Bugfixes

  • LED tempo visualization has been corrected for more accurate feedback.
  • Manually saved banks now load properly on boot.
  • Lowering the VOICING parameter no longer triggers incorrect notes.
  • Note selection now works correctly when using alternative scales in Cycles.
  • Program Change for banks 9–16 on MIDI channel 2 is now functioning as intended.
  • Resolved a crash that could occur on T1 when switching tracks while in a latched view.
  • Cycles no longer change unexpectedly when the unit is not playing.
  • Tempo is now properly saved and loaded to banks.
  • Starting and stopping the T1 with analog clock resets the starting point as intended.
  • Pattern selection now follows play
  • CC can now be sent to all channels
  • Corrected a problem that prevented pitches from being removed in the Pitch menu
  • Program Chance now happens instantaneously when not playing
  • Updated behaviour for CC edits so buttons are properly selected
  • Fixed an issue with track delay causing Cycle 2 to start
  • Random Repeats Time now works as intended (only max setting worked before)

New features

  • Per-Step editing
    • All parameters (including CCs) can be edited at every step
    • To edit a step:
      • Press [ CTRL ] + step in the pulses view
      • [ BANK ] is blinking RED
      • Turn knob or press value buttons to change the parameter
      • Edited steps are displayed with RED

    • Step editing on CC tracks is possible by double tapping the track in track view
    • Parameters excluded from step editing: tempo, delay, length, quantize
  • FX tracks
    • A new track type “FX” tracks allows for processing midi input
    • Create an FX track by [ CTRL ] + 2x press [ VALUE ] in track view.
    • Incoming notes are automatically routed to all FX tracks in the pattern
    • With zero pulses, incoming notes are monitored directly
    • With non-zero pulses, incoming notes sets the chord for the pulses in the track
    • The ( PITCH ) menu on FX tracks can be used as a “live” MIDI keyboard
  • Parameter quick view
    • Parameters are briefly displayed after turning knobs on T1
    • This feature can be toggled in T1 Config – > Misc (default: ON)
