New Features
MPE
• MPE support added.
• MPE has options for Upper or Lower MPE Zone, Pitch Bend range and MIDI CC Polarity.
• MPE works with the 4 multi-timbral layers, so stacked sounds can be MPE controlled, or multiple MPE zones, controllers
or standard MIDI keyboards can be assigned different channels.
• MPE operation has a decay feature for expressive sound control on the MPE axes of Aftertouch and CC74. Hold the KBD
Key down for more than 1 second to silence all voices, and stop the arpeggiator and sequencer.
Effects
• Nina now has 3 effects processors, allowing Chorus, Reverb and Delay to all be used together.
• Any order of these effects is possible, they can be chained in series or in parallel in any combination.
Additional New Features
• Added LFO mode to the wavetable oscillator (OSC3). This moves the wavetable frequency down 10 octaves, making it act
as a third LFO.
• Added ability to import wavetables created by WaveEdit. These are automatically recognised on import.
• Note Release Velocity is now available as a modulation source. This can be selected via the MIDI MOD SOURCE
parameter in the LAYER menu.
• LCD Screen color may be changed.
A selection of colors in available from SYSTEM > GLOBAL PARAMETERS > SYSTEM COLOR.
• Global Master Tune function added. Tune the entire instrument up or down up to 200 cents.
Access via SYSTEM > GLOBAL PARAMETERS->MASTER TUNE.
For 432Hz tuning, use -32 cents.
Please refer to the updated Nina User Manual and/or 1.3.0 Release Notes and Addendum regarding these new features.

• Soft clicking with VCA Spin in some cases.
• Soft clicking occurring with some sounds when voice stealing.
