An informal update: we'll announce with a proper mailout shortly, but the latest official firmware is up on our website. It's essentially a more stable, faster-loading version of the most recent beta.
The recent feature suggestion comments have been great. I've got some ideas about how to implement quite a few of the ideas around voice-leading. I'll code them up, and if they play well, we'll add them in the next beta.
For those who are curious, the resulting progression is an example of what is sometimes called modal interchange. The process above more or less replicates the exercise they play with at the end (around 13min) of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7PVOVYwVAi4.

A fun process with the Pivot Modulation feature:Also, I've been having a field day with Chromatic Mediant Modulation (CMM). Cycle Instruments calls this Pivot Modulation.
- Start with a major scale - Tetrachord 1 and 2 to Major, 5,b5,4 to 5.
- Set up a progression with several patterns. Leave the scale the same, and turn the encoder so each pattern has a different root note, e.g., 2 6 5 1.
- You can try any progression but make sure to include one with root note 1. A progression that flows nicely and finishes with root note 1 is a good place to start.
- Navigate to the pattern that has the root at note 1 and turn the encoder to one of the other scale notes. It doesn't matter which, though root notes 4 & 5 will have less dramatic results.
- Hold down CHR2 and press RGB button 1.
