Elektron Tonverk Gets An OS Upgrade

Elektron tells us that Tonverk gets another unique addition with OS 1.3.0. Introducing Wavefinder, which they describe as a wavetable synthesis Machine that greatly expands Tonverk's sonic possibilities. It is accompanied by a bunch more features, fixes, and improvements that take Tonverk to new creative heights. Here's the details direct from the company...

Wavefinder gives you two independent wavetable oscillators that can be modulated and blended. Dive in and shape your tone by picking your wavetables and using position to find the perfect wave, and level to find the perfect mix. Set tune and detune, and then modulate your position and level by choosing one of the 12 wavetable animations, with further modulation controls available. All of this works together to unlock deeper layers of movement and expression, further increased by the ability to add your own wavetables. This extra slice of synthesis broadens Tonverk's sound palette, both on its own and alongside the other sample Machines already at your disposal.

Your Subtracks now come with chokes. Each Subtrack can be assigned so that as soon as they are triggered they immediately silence other Subtracks. Enjoy fluid rhythmic interplay and watertight hi-hat control.

Tonverk's arpeggiator gets a pair of power-ups to make it an even more useful and experimental tool. You can now - for the very first time - parameter lock tweaks to arp settings. Additionally, when in Live Recording mode, any parameter changes can be captured into the sequence. And, you can also randomize the arp page, letting you instantly generate arpeggios that can be wild and occasionally wonderful.

Your page selection and looping wishes are answered. Hold the page button when in grid recording mode, press arrow up or down, then pick your page via the trigs. Easily jump straight to or loop whichever specific page (or pages) you want.

And that's just scratching the surface of OS 1.3.0. Also included are Prepare Mutes, Sustain and Sostenuto pedal support, Remember Subpage and Subtrack, and more. There is also a whole host of helpful improvements and fixes. Read the full release notes for a complete overview.
