The Pianist is a eurorack polyphonic chord sequencer. It facilitates harmonic chord progressions within modular synthesis. It just got a new firmware update (v1.2) with two key features that are explained in this video. These features are as follow:

• Three shortcuts for faster editing:
- copy pasting by holding the button pressed when accessing a chord
- setting a chord repetition by holding the button on 'go to'
- setting the chord progression loop by holding the button on 'then'

• A new "JUMP" function that replaces the old page functions. This will make the Pianist jump to a random chord within a user-set range when the gate is triggered.

This video shows the step-by-step patch on a modular system to set-up the Pianist with the Mutable Instruments Plaits and compose a fast but musical chord sequence using the new JUMP function.

- TO UPDATE THE PIANIST -
In order to update your NOH-Modular Pianist to newer versions of the firmware, go to the module's product page (linked above). On the product page download the "BUILD GUIDE" document and go to the firmware installation/update section, you'll find steps to update the firmware to V1.2 !

- FULL UPDATE LOG -
The full update log is as follows:

• PAGE functions have been replaced with a brand new generative/random JUMP function.
• Copy/pasting a chord now also copies over the chord parameters from the CHORD menu.
• CELLS view and warning messages have now been fully removed
• New shortcuts for the GO TO and THEN options in the CHORD menu. Holding the GO TO pressed for ~1 sec will set it to the current chord being edited, and the THEN will be set to 1.
• Bug fix for the copy/paste option quantizing the root even in FREE mode (un-quantized).
