PD Space Guitar 2: what's new?
———————————————--
TUNER
==============
The tuning fork is allways there for you to tune your instrument: accuracy is 1%.
little nice feature: The ring on top of the tuner wobbles with the frequency you'd hear the wobble with the reference tone..

SHAPER
==============
-Now there are 3 doubler modes: Doubler, Overtones and... intelligent Harmonisers!
the harmonisers use a simple 1 3 5 chord expansion over multiple octaves and can be automated via remote / ENV, which results in a nice auto arpeggiating frenzy.
The harmonisers plays one note from the chord row on the doubler channel.
The TREM/DETUNE/VIBRATO section:
-Trem is stronger now.
-Detune
-Vibrato is now stereo, which is a great effect when attack is set to positive: it will make longer notes swim..

-there is now a CHROMATIC knob, that uses the tuning set in the SETUP tab

-The extra HX harmonics now have an inputrange RANGE: this works great to prevent getting too much overtones.

AMP
=============
the AMP now has a multimode filter, with remote/ENV oparation. Auto-wah or by remotecontrol and more.
Sensitivy adjustable with indicator on screen.  Wackawacka!
SQUEEL adds even harmonics
ATTACK a classic slow gear function: great to have your guitarplucks hidden

FX
========
The modulator now has a ROTOR mode. Note: the spread in amps governs the global pan width, so you have to adjust that too for best results! Let your inner Lachy Dooley out!
The delay now has multiple repeats and a tap tempo.

SPACE
========
SWIPE EQ - a fullfledged 11 band equaliser with frequency response display. You can quickly draw a line over the knobs, hence the name..
CABINET and REVERB where already there, new are:
AMP setup: SINGLE, DUO or QUATRO.  SINGLE is the old setup with 1 amp and stereo fx.

SETUP
========
FX setup: governs the processing order of MOD, AMP & DELAY
PSEUDO pseudo stereo can give big sounds with good mono compatibility.
LATENCY: added 5% for low latency voice application.
TUNING: determines the tuning for chromatic mode.

REMOTE
=============
Reworked the remote system: In he 3 free assignable channels, both ENV's and CC's now have sensitivity and direction.
A great number of hidden app parameters can be assigned to your playing strength or midi input.

Reworked the HOLD function: now with indicators on screen and easy to use level control

=======================
>>SPECIAL FEATURES:

1. MIDI PC is limited to 0-99
MIDI Program changes will be only work normally when in the range 0-99 (MIDI hardware PC number is 0 based, your controller may show 1-100..)

2. Small MIDI controller hack
MIDI PC's in range 100-109 (1 base controller: 101-110) will choose from the 10 current presets on SG screen. You only need to program your footcontroller's pedals once. This is ideal for MIDI controllers that have no bankswitch: e.g. you can have 4 switches with PC 100,101,102,103: These will engage the first 4 presets from the bank on screen.
Basically you can make a bank for your song, and the footswitch works as a songpart selector.
Bankchanges then ofcourse need to be done manually on screen.

3. Automatic Preset range clamping to current range
- An SG range is 100 presets
- incoming MIDI PC will clamp to the current SG preset range.
This allows for parallel changes in multiple SG instances, which is extremely usefull for doubleneck, stickplayers & stereo/hex setups.
E.g.: SG instance 1 is on 110, SG instance 2 is on 210
Now incoming MIDI PC 1 will switch SG instance 1 to 101, and SG instance 2 to 201
