OS Version Update


This update software (for Version 1.01) improves several functions of the DisCover 5, including faster loading/saving/scanning time. It also adds new functions like control of the Vocoder Harmonist’s pitch via the DisCover 5’s Bender lever, etc., for added flexibility. See the New v1.01 Features page for details.
