The much-anticipated Midihub 1.15 update is officially here! New highly customizable MIDI mappings with internal modulation support, new Arpeggiator and Dispatcher algorithms, and a revamped Clock pipe with tap-tempo and nudge functions are only part of the new features we packed in.
We want to give a huge shoutout to our wonderful community for their feedback and ideas that have helped shape this update. Especially to @resonotter, who thoroughly tested every new feature and provided invaluable insights to propel this forward.
So, let’s dive in and discover some of the most notable new features and enhancements waiting for you in this latest release!
Enhanced MIDI Mapping Capabilities
In this update, you can control pipe parameters using MIDI messages generated within the Midihub itself, eliminating the necessity for physical loopbacks. This opens up a realm of intriguing possibilities for internal modifiers and self-modulation techniques. Moreover, the update allows for more detailed and precise manual MIDI mapping, enhancing control and customization.
Clock Pipe Revamped
The clock pipe has received significant enhancements. You can now place it either at the beginning of your pipe chain or in line with other pipes. The update also introduces a mappable Tap Tempo button. Additionally, there are Nudge Up and Nudge Down buttons for adjusting the tempo to sync with external sources more easily.
New Dispatcher and Arpeggiator Algorithms
The Dispatcher pipe got some nice new algorithms, allowing for some new creative uses. To name a few: Random, Ping Pong, and Chord. Arpeggiator has two new algorithms, too – Entirely Up then Down and Entirely Down then Up.
14-bit LFO and S&H Waveform
LFOs can now output 14-bit values and can now use Sample & Hold waveform – either using internal noise for sampling or the incoming CC value (which, among other things, can come from another LFO placed before it).
Note: You can find the full list of new features in the Changelog section down below.
Midihub Flash Sale!
