September 11, 2026
COMPA 1.2 expands the hardware-specific controls introduced in 1.1 and tightens the SP-404MKII and EP-series workflows. SP-404MKII Redesigned FX workspaces keep the scope and up to six controls visible. Choose knobs, vertical faders, or horizontal sliders per control or globally. Switch parameters can work as toggle or momentary controls, and untouched values are clearly shown as unknown instead of implying a false midpoint. DJ mode can show Bus 1 and Bus 2 together with longer deck faders, an improved crossfader, and clearer routing/setup guidance. The Looper has explicit Start Recording and Finish Recording actions, a larger rate fader, and a practical setup/playback guide. The native Pattern view is simplified around the SP's banks and pads. EP-40 RIDDIM AND EP-133 K.O. II The shared player drawer now uses COMPA's standard pitch-pad grid while the dedicated hardware workspace keeps the device's native pad layout. EP-40 LFO and XY gestures use the named device route, with clearer FX setup guidance and a single properly fitted XY surface. Pattern labels, Pad Map access, and user-preset saving are more reliable and readable. This update also includes additional layout, responsiveness, and control-state fixes across these workspaces.
