Hi Paul,
The only Origin manual is the one you can download on Arturia web site:
http://www.arturia.com/evolution/en/downloads/manuals.htmlEach time an Origin update is added to our updates section we clearly publish the new features added by this update. For exemple, here are the update 1.2.5. new features:
* 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.
* Interacting with a DAW or sequencer much easier: Midi CCs are sent and received on a channel specific to the program. Notes, and pitch bend are sent on the defined zone channels.
* Improved settings page
* Added Performance page: Lets you easily set up all Origin's different live controllers (aftertouch, mod and pitch, joystick and ribbon on Origin Keyboard).
* All key ranges can be edited using the keyboard keys.
Hope this will answer your questions,
Best regards,
Denis
