Hey I just downloaded the new OS and I’m a little overwhelmed.
I took a look and the new manual and it seemed to make things worse.
Is there a simple list of new features? What should I look out for?
Just a quick list at the top of my head:
Try the new filter mode:
- function + filters, check F1 resonance boost
- Up the resonance and the overdrive to about 3/4
- Play with the cutoff
Try the poly mode:
- Function + kit, configure poly mode
- Check all 4 voices for 4 voice poly
- Select poly type
- Play chords
Try the sound selection tools:
- Double tap track button
- Browser pops up
- use left arrow in browser to switch between the pool and +drive, search and filter sounds
- use the right arrow to see copy/load/save options
-
Create a new Project to save everything in. This will not overwrite if you factory reset the +drive. This is the safest way to save your stuff without using C6.
-
Try midi mapping. You should be able to map out different sounds to a keyboard. It seems like it triggers midi but I haven’t had time to see if the sequencer does.
-
Try the different poly types. Notice how the different voices work together. Probably the most difficult to understand unless you do it.
-
There is a chord arp so it plays a chord when using poly.
Go through the pdf included with the OS download. 
You know, the OS comes with a readme in the zip that has a list of all the changes by themselves.
