Changed

The Transpose device can now only be used in pre-effects slot 1.

A Pitch Fine parameter has been added to the Transpose device.

Fixed

An issue where the Amount LED ring dimmed immediately when an expression pedal reached the toe position while effects bypass was assigned to the pedal, overriding the configured switch delay value.

An issue where the "412 CA Stand OS V30 01 - Dynamic 57 Off Axis" positions 1 and 2 used the same impulse response (IR) instead of distinct ones.

An issue where a Preset change occurred after disabling 4-Preset Mode while preset 1A or 1B was active.

An issue where the Save button LED did not provide visual feedback and remained off when short-pressed to select a save slot in the Neural Capture Save menu.

An issue where the Amount LED ring did not consistently light up to indicate the enabled state (bright) when using momentary expression switch pedals assigned to Switch with Latch Emulation.

An issue where the Level knob did not function in Latching mode when controlling Capture volume, if the volume had been adjusted in the app prior to entering Capture Volume mode on the pedal.

An issue where a Capture slot LED remained lit after saving a Neural Capture to the Library from within the Neural Capture Save menu.

An issue where the Nano Cortex could be locked from within any of the four Neural Capture Connection Diagram screens.

An issue where the LED on/off states and expression pedal adjustments of multiple parameters were slow and delayed when the pedal was receiving input signal and the EXP treadle was being adjusted.

Various minor bug fixes.
