Just when you thought you saw the last of Ethan Bordeaux's musical homebrew synthesizer application for the Sony PlayStation Portable, the developer has rolled out a new build. PSPSeq version 2.11 is now available for download.

This new version of PSPSeq includes a lot of new features to make up for the its lack of recent updates. Several added commands have been included which greatly improve the interface for users who want to tweak their creations more carefully.

Here are the details of all the new changes included in PSPSeq since our previous coverage of the application:
  • VOL used on non-triggered hits
  • copy/paste of step parameters also copies TRIG/VOL values
  • using L/R trigger with D-pad in WAV synth steps through parameters in a more logical manner (L-trig D-pad goes up/down 1/512 and R-trig D-pad goes up/down 1/32).
  • fixed bug where writing to memory stick fails if >2GB memory available.  the maximum value is now 4GB.
  • pressing SELECT starts on PLAY/STOP rather than LOOP/SONG for faster starting and stopping of the step sequencer.
  • WAV properly loads 8-bit samples.
  • little optimizations to envelopes and writing to the screen
There are even a couple of sample songs you can try out with the app on the source site. Also, don't forget to check out the documentation on the archive for more information on how to install and use PSPSeq.
