New features in Phatty OS v3.1:

Volume Velocity Sensitivity - Map note velocity to output volume, with 15 adjustable levels of sensitivity saved per preset.

Legato Glide - Automatically engage pitch glide between legato notes. Non-overlapping notes snap instantly to new pitch.  Allows you to play or sequence dynamic bends and slides mixed with cleanly-articulated notes.

LFO Reset - Allows you to reset the LFO cycle at the start of each note.  Two LFO trigger modes provide dynamic new modulation possibilities.

Alternative Scales - First introduced in the Slim Phatty and now available for all Phatty synthesizers.  Create and download custom 1-octave tuning scales using our free software; store up to 32 scales on board the Phatty.

Sustain/Hold mode - A sustain pedal or control voltage plugged into the CV GATE input jack can now be used to send MIDI Sustain on/off, and to polyphonically sustain MIDI notes from the Phatty keyboard.

14-bit MIDI - All Phatty synths can now send and receive high-resolution 14-bit MIDI messages for all critical voltage-controlled parameters.

MIDI Output Filtering - New options control what MIDI CC messages are or are not sent from the Phatty, to accommodate a wide variety of applications.

Expanded MIDI Clock sync options - 22 clock divisions including triplet values for both LFO and Arpeggiator MIDI sync.  Clock divisions range from 32nd triplets up to 4 bars.

Improvements to the Arpeggiator:
    Global Arp Setup menu - Now you can quickly and easily set important arpeggiator parameters at a global level.  Arpeggiator also remains active while you change presets.
    Gate Length - Adjust the arpeggiator note length from 50% to greater than 100% (overlapping), for a range of new sonic textures.
    Arp Clock Send - Arpeggiator can now send MIDI Clock, MIDI Start and Stop messages, allowing you to synchronize other gear to the Phatty internal clock.

Improvements to Polyphonic Mode:
    New polyphonic note-allocation scheme -  Uses a "round-robin" algorithm to share notes across multiple Phatty synths in a natural and very playable way.
    Polyphonic arpeggiation - multiple ways to use the Arpeggiator across a poly chain of Phatty synths, from  tight integration to completely freeform.
