    • Added pulse width smoothing to eliminate zipper noise during modulation.
    • Improved FM depth range for more expressive frequency modulation.

    • Filter frequency LCD now shows actual Hz values (e.g., 440 Hz, 2.5 kHz) instead of a percentage.
  • MIDI
    • MIDI channel 5 now acts as a broadcast channel, sending control data to all active layers simultaneously.

I am totally bewildered. How do I use this? I have downloaded and read some complicated installation notes, and browsed the User Manual. None of which tells me, HOW DO I USE THIS?!
