New Features explanation:

• Clock Screen
  Scroll left to get to this screen, this screen will show you if there is clock present and its BPM.
  If you click on Internal clock/MIDI clock , you can change the source of MIDI thing 2 clock, from MIDI to internal.
  When internal clock is selected, BPM can be changed to desired value.
  All clocks configured in MIDI thing can be slaved to this master clock to generate coordinated clocks with selectable different divisions/multipliers.
  Alternatively, each configured clock port can be set to run freely at user selected BPM.

• Piano /Panic Screen
  Press button to PANIC and reset MIDI status
  Press in the piano to enter main screen
  Notes currently playing are visualised on this screen.

• MERGE routing matrix
  You will be able to define how messages are routed from/to each MIDI device.
  MIDI devices are: Serial MIDI in/out in he front panel, USB device on the Teensy or via additional USB front panel and up to 4 MIDI Host devices connected through a hub to the front panel.
  For each device the options available are ( O= On /X= Off):
  IN: Incoming messages from this device are read and processed.
  OUT: messages from other devices will be sent out to this device.
  THRU: messages from this device input are forwarded to this device output.
  CLK: Clock messages from this device are processed.
  SYSEX: SysEx Messages are sent to this device.

• MIDI Monitor
  Scroll left to get to MIDI monitor screens. You have one screen for general MIDI messages coming IN and other for General midi messages going OUT.
  Clock messages are not shown.

  Now LFOs have a Free running option.
  There is a manual trigger option so LFO can be started and resetted by hand. In global menu you can manually trigger all LFOs to reset them all.
  There is also a new feature (Stop) to avoid the LFO to stop oscillating when a Note OFF arrives.
  This allow the LFO to be started and resetted via a MIDI note ON without stopping with the Note OFF.
