Arturia Origin v1.3 Update

ARTURIA announces that version 1.3 of Origin is now shipping.

 

This new version includes:

The Origin 1.3 firmware embeds the new Jupiter 8 template, designed to recreate the voice architecture and design of that analog synthesizer.

  • New play modes:

o POLY_UNISON: designed to emulate the Jupiter8 “UNISON” mode, that shares up to 8 voices between the currently active notes. (Currently not available for MULTI presets.)
o UNISON parameter for MONO programs: designed to allow the user to set the number of voices that will play simultaneously for the MONO program. UNISON “polyphony” can be set to a value between 2 and 8 in SINGLE mode, and is limited to 2 in MULTI mode.

  • Sequencer switch automation:

Actions on the Sequencer “LOOP” and “PATTERNS” switches can be recorded as MIDI CONTROL CHANGE messages and replayed.

  • Compressor module:

The Origin sounds can now be processed through a compressor FX module. The compressor is designed to allow adding dynamics to the sound, “from smooth attacks to huge pumping effects” according to Arturia.

  • Sample & Hold module:

Derived from the ARP S&H. Takes a modulation (LFO, Env…) signal at its inputs and provides a sample and hold modulation signal at its outputs.

  • User Interface enhancements:

o In a number of dialogs possibility to navigate between the controls and change their value without pre-selecting them.
o Possibility to select the slot preset to load using the keypad + the edit switch. Previously it was necessary to use the browser to load a slot preset.

o The user can define a set of favorite presets and navigate thru them with the Preset Browser.
o Feedback –using speaker icons- of the mute state of a Voice output on the FxMixer page, of the slot output on the Multi page and on the program icon in the preset bar.
o Possibility to set 2 or more MULTI slots in the hold state in a single action by keeping their “Edit” switches pressed when “Hold” is set ON (or OFF).

  • Portamento glide time:

Adding of a second way to manage the portamento glide time: the user can choose between a constant time for the whole glide, or a constant time per semitone.

  • Switch pedal:

It is possible to configure the switch pedal action in the “Performance” page.

 

The Origin Firmware 1.3 is available as a free update, and comes embedded in the new Origin Keyboards and Origin Desktops. This upgrade is free for all Origin customers.
