T-1 Changelog
v2.0.0
December 9, 2022
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
- Press [ BANK ] to leave step editing mode.
- Outside step editing mode, parameter changes are applied globally to all steps
- 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 T-1
- This feature can be toggled in T-1 Config – > Misc (default: ON)

v1.3.2
September 22, 2022
Bugfixes

- Fixed issue that could cause T-1 to crash when using T-1 Config.
v1.3.1
September 12, 2022
Bugfixes
- Rst/clk in wasn’t working (regression from 1.3.0).
- When copying banks the tempo wasn’t copied.
- When copying cycles, the source cycle wasn’t pulsating.
v1.3.0
September 9, 2022
New features
- Auto-save
- T-1 now auto-saves the state of all patterns. The auto-saved patterns are loaded when starting the unit.
- The bank that was open on last session will re-open upon starting the T-1.
- 64 step cycles
- Each Euclidean cycle can now be up to 64 steps long.
- Access this feature by holding [ CTRL ] while turning ( STEPS ).
- Go to step sequencer view and hold [ CTRL ] and press [ BANK ], [ PATTERN ], [ TEMP ], and [ MUTE ] to view the 4 pages of the sequence.
- Adjustable CC number
- Customize the CC number of every CC knob.
- The CC number page is accessed by double tapping a CC knob + hold [ CTRL ] + press [ PATTERN ].
- Retriggers
- Enhanced control over modulations. Use retriggers to reset random, style, phrase, and groove.
- Insert retriggers by pressing [ CLEAR ] + [ VALUE ] in the ( STEPS ) menu.
Adjustments
- The ( STEPS ) menu has a new color scheme to enhance the focus on controlling the length of the cycle.
- Double tap [ PATTERN ] for hold.
- Optional double tap [ CTRL ] for hold. This can be enabled in T-1 Config.
- Muted CC tracks don’t send their saved CC value when launching the pattern containing the track.
- When copying a track, pattern, or bank the source is pulsating in green to make it clearer which item is being copied.
- The clock and reset outputs are reset when stopping the T-1.
- The colors of the ( RANDOM ) menu has been inverted such that RED means 100% random and BLUE means 0% random.
- The range of ( QUANTIZE ) has been limited to 1/8 – 16 bars.
Bugfixes
- The state of random modulations was lost between pattern changes and start/stop.
- Fixed crash when connected network was removed from T-1 Config.
- ( QUANTIZE ) was not working properly when changing away from 1 bar (regression from v1.2.0).
v1.2.6
June 20, 2022
Bugfixes
- CV outputs did not produce reliable triggers when ( SUSTAIN ) was high.
- Saved WiFi networks were not loaded properly (regression from v1.2.4)
- Clearing ( PITCH ) was resetting the user scale. This behaviour has been removed.
- Fixed some issues with [ MUTE ] states when reloading a bank.
- When copying a bank, changes in the new bank propagated to the old one.
v1.2.5
June 1, 2022
Bugfixes
- T-1 saves a backup when saving a bank. If the bank gets corrupted, T-1 tries to load the backup instead.
- Tempo estimation was not working properly when using PPQN < 24 with analog clock sync. This caused the MIDI clock output to be out of sync.
v1.2.4
May 20, 2022
Bugfixes
- CV outputs were tuned to A0 = 0V instead of C0 = 0V. (Regression from v1.2.0)
- T-1 now discards corrupted banks, which were causing a crash when powering on the device.
v1.2.3
April 13, 2022
Bugfixes
- Fixed visualization bug when using ( CYCLES ) with less than 16 steps.
T-1 Config
- Improved access to serial-port in support scripts for macOS

New Features
- CC tracks – a new type of tracks where knobs send MIDI control change messages.
- Toggle between note tracks and CC tracks with [ CTRL ] + [ VALUE ] in track view.
- Knobs can be modulated with ( RANDOM ).
- CC values can be saved to the pattern with [ CTRL ] + ( KNOB ).
- Banks can be saved without stopping playback.
- ( REPEATS ) update:
- The range goes from 0-48 + infinite

- Voicing direction can be set to up / down on modifier buttons in ( VOICING ).
- ( STYLE ) layout is now FIXED, RAMP, CLIMB in polyphonic (first row) and monophonic (second row) modes.
- When ( CYCLES ) is double tapped, cycles editing mode stays active until pressing ( CYCLES ) knob again.
- The random sequence for each parameter can be refreshed by holding ( RANDOM ) + ( KNOB ) + press [ CLEAR ].
- When clearing a bank, an additional confirmation press is needed to clear the bank.
Synchronization
- Improved both MIDI clock sync in and analog sync in.
- T-1 now synchronizes external Link devices with external clock received from MIDI or analog.
- A clock latency setting can be set in T-1 Config to offset notes from both incoming and outgoing synchronization.
CV
- Resolved issue with jitter on high pitches on CV outputs.
- 1v/oct CV outputs have been shifted one octave to improve range around middle C (C3).
- Added 1.2v/oct for compatibility with Buchla gear.

- ( RANDOM ) + ( VELOCITY ) affects each note in polyphonic tracks differently.
- Range of tempo is 24-280 BPM.
- Improved ( TIMING ) behaviour with repeats generated from pulses on uneven steps.
Bugfixes
- Disabled ( DELAY ) changes across cycles as this is not possible.
- Prevent jumps in timeline when changing ( DIVISION ) or ( STEPS ) while in cycles editing mode.
- Fixed issue with presses on [ PLAY ] button being received twice.
