    Fixes

    PRM format mismatches reported and hardware-verified by @russellyvr (#3, #4), and re-checked on an S-1 running firmware 1.02:

    • Pitch bend: recorded bends are stored as -8192..8191. MIDI export and the PB lane were treating them as ±32768, so bends came out at a quarter of their size.
    • Portamento: On and Auto were swapped in the editor.
    • Delay and reverb high cut: the list was off by one step (2k showed as 1.6k, 630 showed as Flat).
    • Motion data: all 512 motion rows are now read (8 samples per step). Previously most of a pattern's recorded motion was dropped.

    Step view

    • Sub-steps are drawn as split notes, and a probability lane appears when any step is below P.100.
    • Motion and pitch-bend lanes are drawn as smooth curves.
    • The view scales with the window; drag the corner to enlarge it.
    • Hover any step, in the note roll or an automation lane, for exact values.

    Linux

    • The AppImage now embeds update information, and the .zsync file is published, so AppImageUpdate can fetch new releases.

    Thanks to @russellyvr for the detailed reports and hardware captures.
