Magma

• ExpressBox 1t

Sonnet

• Echo Express SE

Other Thunderbolt chassis have not been tested by Focusrite but may well work.

Please note, it is recommended to power your chassis after starting the host computer and to power cycle the chassis when restarting your computer.

Known Issues:

• After switching host mode an error dialog may appear when changing routings. To alleviate this, restart RedNet Control
• The on-screen size of the RedNet 5 area is not remembered between sessions, or after switching host mode
• When switching RedNet 5 to Expansion Mode the GUI will not update until the unit's virtual panel is collapsed and expanded again

Ultranova 1.1b1

Firmware:
- Updated firmware to version 1.1.03
- Added display to show the big knob Control Lock assignment.
- When editing it is fairly easy to lose your edits by navigating away from the patch. Now, if you do navigate away by mistake, you can press the Compare button to revert your edits.
- Pressing any of the synth menu buttons a second time will return to the main patch menu.
- An asterisk is now displayed next to the patch number to show that the patch has unsaved changes.

- Delay, EQ and distortion are now full stereo effects. Many more of the factory Vocoder patches will now maintain stereo width.

- Fixed Octave button LEDs becoming out of sync with Octave setting.
- Fixed bug preventing envelope decaying to zero in some cases.
- Fixed long release times did not allow the envelope re-trigger to work correctly.
- Fixed issue when very long envelope release was combined with touch trigger envelope: touch now gates properly.  
- Fixed an issue with the release of a touch envelope during the release stage of a voice that prevented the proper operation of touch trigger.
- Fixed an issue with chord function when triggering notes if a patch was set to poly2 voice mode.
- Improved anti-aliasing filter on sine wave: as a result all patches that used this, in particular bass patches, sounds cleaner.
- Improved smoothness when modulating filter to avoid unwanted artefacts.
- Improved interpolation between legato mono voices with different velocities.
- Improved Mono Auto-glide legato portamento consistency.
- Improved oscillator level modulation from LFO sources.
