Already sounding notes are not affected by the newly selected patch. This removes the popping noise, but most importantly gives new creative opportunities since the FM can in reality play up to three different sounds at the same time.

* added new Global Setting (number 11) that sets "Patch change: notes off (like original)" or "Patch change: keep notes on" - this will disable killing off sounding notes when patch switching. * added filtering to remove nasty "digital pop" on discontinous LFOs (audible when amplitude modulating with saw, square and S&H)įor the interested, more LFO details in this video (including the classic Brass S&H DX7 patch): Volca FM LFO fix * fixed LFO sign error (saw up saw down, square polarity etc, now same as dexed)

* fixed S&H update logic error that completely ruined S&H LFO Poor Oscillator Sink tries to steer around the issue: "Now, this gets a bit glitchy." The original implementation is riddled with bugs, and three years in KORG has not bothered to fix them. PC 0-31 are the patches, 32-48 are the patterns. * added support for Program Change of patches and patterns.

(Conversely, if you have a MIDI out mod and dump a MIDI patch to a non-volca device/plug, it will complain that the checksum is wrong and reject it) This is objectively "better" - but again, not actually compatible. In reality, KORG implemented its own patch format where byte 155 (in the DX7 standard a checksum byte) is used to transfer OP on/off. In "Yamaha" mode, it will turn all OPs "on" - this is a compromise that I think works better than the FM original. This makes importing patches from other devices work as it should. * added a new Global Setting (number 10) that switches between "Yamaha compatibility" and "Korg proprietary (like original)" single patch import/export behaviour. * added a new Global Setting (number 9) that enables/disables(like original) velocity on MIDI notes in. THIS IS ON YOUR OWN RISK.Ĭhange log (from ORIGINAL KORG fw (1.03, 1.04, 1.07)): I take no responability whatsoever if you manage to mess up your FM. Make sure no other sounds are playing, and use 44.1kHz native sample rate. 2 files need to go through for this to work as intended. Now I have grafted my tweaks onto the 1.07 FW - you guys like it super fresh I imagine.Ĭheck the KORG official FW update instructions carefully. But they did release FW for the FM - and still ignored the bugs! It was a bit rich. Imagine my surprise when KORG did the september FW drop - I thought the older Volcas were orphaned. Big THANKS to the small group of beta testers that helped me evaluate that :-) In June, I made a 1.06 version that added a bunch of other stuff as well.
I have received a lot of feedback from people requesting the "1.05" FW (that added velocity on MIDI in) that I posted this spring.
TLDR I hacked the Volca FM firmware, fixed a bunch of really old bugs, added some features. "Volca FM firmware 1.08 - velocity on note in, LFO fix, patch transfer, more CCs etc. Also, not sure why the download link would expire tomorrow.
