1.30 up on roland site

What has changed in this version?

mohan, please open your eyes a bit wider You will see Dan Krisher's announcement in this forum.

Art: I feel that you need to fix the release date on the locked thread concerning the 1.30 update. It reads 30th of July. It hasn't come yet, if I'm not mistaken. :-p

Thanks cyclops, fixed that!

Hi.

Great news.
Am I right that the update process does not affect my project ? (of course I made a backup) (since I don't make a factory reset)
I am not at home at the moment, so I can only think about changes to my workflow: So I can switch the leslie speed on the organ with the footswitch, no matter at which part the organ is ? (Live mode).

More questions to come

Thanks,
Stefan.

I haven't had the chance to upgrade yet, either, but, according to the feature list, all the realtime controllers, including S1/S2 buttons and the D-Beam, can control multiple parts at once. I don't know if this applies to the pedals as well, but personally I don't find any better way of switching the leslie speed than with the S1 button.
Say you have the S1 button assigned to Mod wheel (MIDI CC01). When you push the S1 button, everything in every part that is controlled by MIDI CC01 will be affected at once, e.g. leslie speed for an organ sound, vibrato for another part, cutoff for another and so on. This was not possible for the S1/2 buttons and the D-Beam before OS 1.30, so it is a very welcome addition for our live performance.
