# Patch notes
NEOTONE software 7.1 - 2026-06-15
---------------------------------
FIXES:
- Equalizer: Fixed an issue causing low-frequency audible glitches
NEOTONE software 6.9 - 2026-04-10
---------------------------------
This update improves stability, expands MIDI control, and adds new sound design tools.
The added real-time equalizer improves the overall sound experience.
FIXES:
- Fixed an issue where notes could sound faded or cut off after the instrument was left on for extended periods
- Fixed an issue where setting the sustain slider below 30% caused audible noise
- Fixed expression pedal compatibility issues; now supports all passive linear and logarithmic pedals, with a new calibration option in the interface
- Fixed sliders to properly respond to swipe gestures on mobile devices
ADDITIONS (All Models)
- Added a 16-band real-time equalizer
- Added a Harmony Wizard, with dissonance and harmony filter options for custom scales
- Added fine-tune and semitone pitch options for custom scales
- Added MIDI Flow mode
- Added a MIDI Panic button (can be assigned to a Tonefield)
- Added a new MIDI control option: CC messages
- Added option: Enable hotkeys
ADDITIONS (Mutant Models)
- Increased the number of assignable scales from 9 to 18 (can now be mapped to hotkeys)
NEOTONE software 6.7 - 2025-07-22
---------------------------------
- Some internal technical changes that do not affect the sound or general functionality
NEOTONE software 6.6 - 2025-03-11
---------------------------------
FIXES:
- The number of loaded sound samples has increased for custom scales
- Very rarely, the instrument could freeze, mainly while loading a scale - Fixed
- MIDI: If a note was struck at the boundary between a mutant/normal area, sometimes the MIDI note got stuck (Note Off was not sent) - Fixed
- WiFi connection issues may be resolved in certain cases
- The number of available MIDI sets was reduced to 1 if there was no WiFi connection during boot
- If MIDI thru was enabled, incoming MIDI messages (e.g., Note On) accumulated and were executed all at once after MIDI thru was disabled
- MIDI messages are no longer accumulated while MIDI thru is active
- Incoming MIDI Note On messages were only played if a matching note was found. Now, it searches within a +-12 semitone range for a loaded sound and plays it with pitch adjustment
- When MIDI output disable was activated, Note Off messages are now sent for all active notes to prevent stuck MIDI notes
- Hotkeys that were changed and saved while the instrument was powered off did not update upon restart - Fixed, they now refresh on power-up
- Fixed the displayed length of the audio track on the interface
- The interface's audio play button did not always appear simultaneously with a new track - fixed
- Hotspot SSID and password now accept all printable ASCII characters, SSID length: 2-32 characters, password: 0-63 characters
ADDED
- E Amara 13 scale
- Front LED flashes yellow for incoming MIDI messages, except when MIDI thru is enabled
ADDITIONS (All Models)
- Ability to configure multiple sound sets and switch between them via the interface or MIDI message
- Incoming Note On MIDI messages can be mapped to functions, allowing control without WiFi: scale switching, MIDI set selection, sound set selection, slider adjustments
- SOUND / Tone crossmix: 0%: Always selects a single tone without mixing multiple sounds. 100%: Uses the current behavior, blending tones based on hit position
- SOUND / Edge Effect on Side Notes: At higher slider values, the shoulder tone is blended in more significantly
MODIFIED
- SOUND / Sustain: The lower threshold has been shortened, resulting in a very short decay when set to 0%
NEOTONE software 6.4 - 2024-07-30
---------------------------------
FIXES:
- Send all MIDI note OFF after changing the scale or MIDI setup
- Increased the maximum recording time per track to 100 minutes
- WAV recording sound glitches fixed
ADDITIONS (All Models)
- RECORD / SETTINGS / Save to instrument (Enables recordings without a Wi-Fi connection)
- SENSORS / Top body gain slider
- SENSORS / Bottom body gain slider
- SCALES / Build scale: Completely redesigned visual scale editor
- MIDI / Completely redesigned visual MIDI editor, now supports MIDI in the mutant area, different body areas and includes optional audio mute on each MIDI area on the tonefields
NEOTONE software 6.3 - 2024-05-13
---------------------------------
FIXES:
- Fixed a rare freezing issue that might occur while loading scales.
ADDITIONS (All Models)
- SOUND / Velocity layer loading density (Higher density enhances dynamic responsiveness and detail, while lower density decreases loading speed and reduces the level of sound detail)
NEOTONE software 6.2 - 2024-04-15
---------------------------------
FIXES:
- Fixed dynamic range inconsistency on custom scales. In some cases, sample volumes were slightly lower compared to live scales, but now this issue has been resolved.
- An important software stability issue has been fixed, ensuring perfect system reliability in general.
NEOTONE software 6.1 - 2024-04-09
---------------------------------
FIXES:
- Loading speed has been enhanced, particularly for custom scales
- The tuner display on the LCD screen has been fixed to show the actual tuner value used by the instrument, rather than the value from the interface.
Please note that a scale reload is necessary to apply the tuner setting.
- Overall performance improvements have been made; the instrument's audio mixing is much more stable when you play rapidly on the instrument.
- Battery percentage display value corrected on the interface and on the LCD screen when the charger is plugged in.
ADDITIONS (All Models)
- Scale loading progress bar displayed
ADDITIONS (Mutant Models)
- Scale loading progress bar displayed on the LCD screen
NEOTONE software 6.0 - 2024-03-25
---------------------------------
FIXES:
- Sound glitches have been fixed. Sometimes, there was a crackling or popping sound on the audio output, especially when the WiFi connection was active.
- Stuck interface messages have been fixed. Sometimes, the loading scale message on the interface would get stuck.
- The sensitivity of the scale selection hotkey has been improved, making it easier to select a scale with the hotkeys.
ADDITIONS (All Models)
- From now on, interface sliders and switches do not need to be saved by using the save button; The changes will automatically save in the SOUND and SENSORS menu points.
- SOUND / Notification sound "switch" (You can now switch off the notification sound for scale loading, MIDI set, or recording).
ADDITIONS (Mutant Models)
- SENSORS / Enable mutant area "switch" (You can now disable the mutant area).
- SENSORS / Adjust mutant area "slider" (You can now slightly adjust the mutant area, in case it's hard to hit precisely or if it's too large).
- SENSORS / Display notes "switch" (Display the played notes on the LCD screen).
- Recording time is displayed on the LCD screen
