    Updating it now! Thanks for the dual filters, that was the biggest thing I was missing and will really help sculpt the sounds!

      This feature set looks amazing. I will try it out tomorrow.

        Thank you so much for adding the preview!

        Will test the next few days and report back.

          Loaded it up last night, but no time to do much, however.... I LOVE being able to see the wave scrolling by when using live input. PC changes?! Yes. It was the last link in my chain of synths that was lacking that, and now I have it. Also, filter per oscillator option. And preview! And every other update on the list puts this guy up in the big leagues. Thanks!

              After pushing Play at the bottom of the Preset loading screen, you will need to trigger notes via MIDI to hear the preset preview.

            Brilliant update. The freeze input function works so well (took me a second to work out you had to tap the display to make it freeze) and combined with the audio recording, it's like having a whole new device to play with.

            I have had a play around with it today and have the following thoughts/comments:
            • I think you missed out the inclusion of grain shapes in the update list?
            • Wav preview is great, but I would prefer it to bypass the effects (or it would be good to have the option to do so or not)
            • Preset preview - this only seems to work when you play via midi, it would be great if it could auto-play (e.g. C4) when you press the 'play' button
            • the select area for oscillator 1 seems to be a bit less responsive or maybe narrower (?) - I can't quite tell if this is really happening or not, but on the Home screen I seem to have to press a couple of times to enter Gr Osc 1, more than I used to. Could quite possibly be me imagining it tho.

              Regarding the OSC1 access from the home screen, is it not loading, or is it bringing up the Preset selection screen? Or something else?

              It's not loading.

              It's happening more in the centre, where I am inevitably hitting lower down to avoid hitting the preset selection - so it feels almost like there's a bit of a dead zone in the lower part of OSC1 selection area. I've only had my Lemondrop about a month, so it might just be me thinking it's a new thing but it 'felt' different enough I thought I'd mention it.

            it's a great update, thanks. early testing, I seem to be noticing a lot of clicking, both from live feeds and samples, that I can't find the source of. it seems to be mainly if not exclusively on the two new grain shape options, especially the up mode.

              What grain shape are you using? The Ramp up and Ramp Down will have more clickiness to them. Try Smooth.

              Christine -

              as I say : "it seems to be mainly if not exclusively on the two new grain shape options, especially the up mode."

              smooth is fine, but we already had that. I want to use the new ramp modes. if they aren't usuable then what's the point of having them?

              Is the clicking due to bugs or is this inherent to the synthesis? Is there something that can be done to minimise it in terms of settings / how the samples are formatted?

            Great with a new update! I haven't been able to update yet but reading the update list I noticed that there's no mentioning if you now are able to modulate the start position when Play mode is in "Moving"? It was recognized as a bug and were to be looked into in a future update...
            Thanks!

              I think some clicking will be inevitable if it's using a pure saw up/down - especially on the up, which might be better suited for noise applications. I was using a down shape yesterday, clocked, with really low density and quite large size and getting some brilliant rhythmic synth patterns - but every now and then as you scanned through the file, you hit an occasional clicky spot.

                the clicking was pretty bad, as in unusable....

              Thanks for asking. It was acknowledged as a bug. However, on further inspection, that parameter was not meant to be modulated. The modulation options have been removed. Sorry for the confusion.

                Thanks for the info. Too bad it's not modulateable, but the new things in the update are great!

              Great to see that the Lemondrop gets an update. It's a fantastic little device, and I'm sure all users appreciate it getting some attention.

                Love what I see so far. But this is kind of a glaring miscue, at least in my opinion. If you do CC change of program, which is GREAT, the key and scale do not follow so it's kind of pointless especially in a programmed live performance. I really need a global setting for key and scale that stays fixed to avoid off key harmonies. However, I tried the CC program change and Nothing happened. It remained running the previous patch I programmed my DigiTone to switch from 43 to 44.

                Panic Button, Thank You!! It did work. That was driving me nuts chasing down the culprit..but at least I can now terminate the sound.
                preview sound..awesome..big help.

                Teleport cool. feels more accessible I like it...Maybe that's feature for setting a grid of favorites?

                Maybe a cc assign for key and scale? or do I need to leave the device set to chromatic and filter with my controllers and other devices that send midi to LD?

                  Teleport is very good for faster navigation. But the bug with the maxed out volumes is still there - so no difference to the latest firmware in this context. I was hoping to use my own samples now with the lemondrop. Unfortunately it is still a game of chance if the own sanples and/or samples from 3rd party developers are working in the lemondrop. That is very very sad. Now I am thinking to sell the lemondrop again. I need to invest my time in synthesizers that can handle all samples without producing weird noise.

                    Make sure your samples are mono 24/48k for best performance.

                  This is awesome! Been playing around with it, totally loving the new preview functions & independent filters.
                  But I'm having two issues:

                  - Program Change: it doesn't seem to accept changes from my Deluge. With other synths, I change the MIDI PGM number on the Deluge, and the synth follows. I can also set banks with the Deluge, but it doesn't work either way (no bank or, say, bank 1). Am I missing something?
                  Also: how does it work, does it simply jump to preset number X as they appear in the list on the LD, counting from the top?

                  - Teleport: it only jumps to the page while the Home button is pressed, then jumps back to the Home screen when unpressed. This feels weird. I'd rather have it staying on the new screen, or jump back to the last screen used before the jump (for quick changes on another page).

                  Anyway...thanks, this is great!
