Game changing power features on the 2.121 Beta
Hope I'm allowed to post Beta posts in this forum.. if not apologies and I wont be offend if its taken down.
this is just copied from a post i put on the developer forum.
But I thought this is so important for people who are not members of the developers forum to know about.
because it really changed the game for me with the 2B. and I'm so excited.
and if you don't have upgrade kit..BUY IT!!!
So anyway...with the 2.106 firmware I was always having issues with the power control.
so much so, that I was regretting my purchase
I would set it to 8% and it wasn't strong enough and 9% was way too much. and this situation was the same with any program.
I was using the low power setting. and I was never able to pick a truly magic spot. A 1% power increase went from dismally weak
to WAY to much. But now!!!!.....
with the 2.121beta firmware I have been playing with the output map, dynamic power setting and dynamic bias.
and wow!! have you guys nailed it for customizability. these features must stay!!!
For anyone else having issues where a power increment change of 1% went from not enough to way too much.
try the following settings. (2.121 Beta)
I set the power level to "dynamic"
set the dynamic bias to "average" ( this is the golden feature!!)
and the output map to B.
now turn up the power on A knob until you just start feel something (44% in my case). then turn the power up on the B knob. this gives the perfect slow gentle incremental adjustments that enable you to find the perfect power setting.
it is the equivalent of having 0.01 percent increases.
e.g 44% an channel A. Then as you adjust channel B up you get 44.01%, 44.02% 44.03% etc etc all the way to 44.99%
This feature has changed the box from almost useless for me, to the best thing ever invented in the history of humanity.
Keep up the great work. and thank you so much for these features.
Ps Twist is an amazing addition as well !!!

Re: Game changing power features on the 2.121 Beta
Wow, looking forward to the public release. Have you tried these features on some audio files? Does it help to get a smoother experience? In many files there are some quiet sequences (or out of range frequencies) that I don't feel at all, changed by louder and painful sequences.

Re: Game changing power features on the 2.121 Beta
I'll be honest, I just purchased after a competitor's box I owned died and has been discontinued, and the existing firmware hasn't impressed me. I have to post a few times in order to gain access to the developer forums to get this beta firmware, but I'm hoping it resolves my concerns. Exactly as you said, the power level curve left something to be desired... Any idea when this will be released to the masses publicly?

I'm excited! It sounds like 2.121 is going to be like getting a whole new box. It's super cool that features can be added and changed to keep things interesting over time.

Re: Game changing power features on the 2.121 Beta
That sounds realy interesting. But if you do it like you described, then both channels have the same volume/level, or can you still adjust them separately?
