Upgrading from 1.0

Make a backup of your 1.0 songs and sample kits. 2.0 is backwards compatible with 1.0 songs and kits, but 2.0 songs and kits are not compatible with 1.0.

Then install your firmware via Wooveconnect. Note that if you have a 15B2 or 15SE revision unit with version 1.0, then the more recent 1.0 firmwares should already be MIDI IN capable for SysEx (on 1.0 too, hold 9/A1 while booting to put the MIDI port in MIDI IN mode). This allows you to update your 1.0 firmware Woovebox to 2.0 via any standard MIDI interface, rather than wireless MIDI.

Important 1.0 vs 2.0 differences

• Chord types are now cycled by holding CdLo/CdHi and turning value knob, rather than pressing CdLo/CdHi to skip to the next type.
• Some context menu items now have sub-items or allow you to specify a value. You will see a "running light" indicator/cue when multiple options are available. So, if you seem to be missing an option (for example dump song stems wet/dry), turn the value knob while you have a related option up (dump song).
• Preset selection has been overhauled (now; hold category, turn value knob).
• Resampler has been removed completely in lieu of the new - far more useful - skip-back sampling.
• 'Init patch' has moved to become the last item in preset selection ('init saw'), and the undo option (used to be hold 16/A8) is now the first option in preset selection.
• Mic/Line-level selection in sampler no longer requires write + play to be held (e.g. just turn value knob).
• Audio input monitoring in the sampler is now persistent, and shows a VU meter in the bottom part of the screen. If the bottom part of the screen appears blank, it means that no audio is coming in at that moment.

Quirks, compatibility and breaking changes

Compatibility of your old 1.0 songs should be good overall, though fixed random seeds (7/hh/'SEEd' on a Song's GLob page) will yield different random value sequences in 2.0. Because there are some new subtleties in how fragments behaviors are reset, the "legacy version" parameter (8/Pc on a Song's GLob page) has been expanded to provide a 1.0 compatibility mode. Your "old" songs will automatically set this parameter as appropriate. Newly created songs will use "2.0" behavior.

Oscillator 3's signal is now also sent to the compressors/limiters, gating, side-chaining and ducking, these may need some tweaking depending on whether you were sending tracks with oscillator 3 to these.
