Jupiter 8 template:

The Origin 1.3 firmware embeds the new Jupiter 8 template which recreates the unique voice architecture and design of this legendary analog synthesizer.
Carefully selected preset sounds will allow you to put the powerful and inspiring sounds of the Jupiter 8 right at your fingertips.
Synthesists will also be able to create their own Jupiter 8 patches thanks to the easy and intuitive programming via front panel sliders, knobs and buttons, just like the original. The classic features like cross-mod, oscillator sync, arpeggiator are also on-board.

New play modes:

* POLY_UNISON: emulates the Jupiter8 "UNISON" mode, that shares up to 8 voices between the currently active notes. (Currently not available for MULTI presets.)
* UNISON parameter for MONO programs: allows the user to set the number of voices that will play simultaneously for the MONO program. UNISON "polyphony" can be set to a value between 2 and 8 in SINGLE mode, and is limited to 2 in MULTI mode.

Sequencer switches automation:

Actions on the Sequencer "LOOP" and "PATTERNS" switches can be recorded as MIDI CONTROL CHANGES messages and replayed.

Portamento glide time:

Adding of a second way to manage the portamento glide time: the user can now choose between a constant time for the whole glide, or a constant time per semitone.

Switch pedal:

It is now possible to configure the switch pedal action in the 'Performance' page.

Compressor module:

The Origin sounds can now be processed through a brand new compressor FX module. The compressor will allow you to add relief to your sound, from smooth attacks to huge pumping effects, making sure you always get the desirable presence in your mix.

Sample & Hold module:

Derived from the ARP S&H. Takes any modulation (LFO, Env…) signal at its inputs and provides a sampled and hold modulation signal at its outputs.

User Interface enhancements:

* In a number of dialogs you can now navigate between the controls and change their value without pre-selecting them.
* Possibility to select the slot preset to load using the keypad + the edit switch. Previously it was necessary to use the browser to load a slot preset.
* A new layout of the dialog makes easier the configuration of the "live" macros.
* The user can now define a set of favorite presets and navigate thru them with the Preset Browser.
* A clear feedback – using speaker icons - of the mute state of a Voice output on the FxMixer page, of the slot output on the Multi page and on the program icon in the preset bar
* Possibility to set 2 or more MULTI slots in the hold state in a single action by keeping their "Edit" switches pressed when "Hold" is set ON (or OFF).

This new version includes:
* Duophonic aftertouch: This Arturia Innovation allows the aftertouch to only affect one note, which can be set to highest, lowest or last played. Origin keyboard only!
* Multi-mode ribbon controller. Origin keyboard only!
* Precise editing of velocity and aftertouch curves. Origin keyboard only!
* More complete configuration of multi mode: now the keyboard can be split into a Zone (note range, channel, midi filters) and any multi can be associated with each zone.
