# 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
