Amazing work on the synth patch editor! Well done
Gonna dive in to the new DIRT synth this weekend 
Also want to add, the USB Mass Storage mode is such a friction remover, great quality of life update there

Iāve experimenting weird things that canāt reproduce because I was jamming between the synth part and the performance part. Iāll investigate more. The good thing is that you can go backwards.
DIRT sounds amazing, the USB feature is great and the synth UI the best. Yes, I miss a shortcut too to the synth parameters. It would be perfect.

Looking great @Mitch.
Iād love to use the new synths, but please consider porting color customization to the Play+. As it stands, distinguishing a selected Synth1 step from an unselected one is very difficult for me. There are a lot of colorblind people out there. Thanks!
See Allow colorblind people to configure the Play+ synth pad colors - Feature Requests - Polyend Backstage from 2023 already.

Amazing news, the new features look good, a pretty bold update Iād say, Iām going to go back to my P+ thatās been unused for several months. There isnāt any bug fixes though?
Thanks, yeah I understand how important accessibility is, and Iām happy it was added to Synth. For Play it may be a bit more complex since so many colors are used, but Iāll inquire with the devs about this again if at least Synth engine lights can be changed.
Also weāve got new Sound Design rundown on Dirt here - https://youtu.be/jpybI74vKzE

I opened the Play+Bass from the demos. Hereās a video of it while trying to edit the Synth 2.
Loving the update!! Makes me excited to dig into the machine again. I noticed a possible new bug.. sometimes the āplay one skip oneā etc chance functionality seems to be not working occasionally, resulting in all Plays or all Skips
Is this the update that Polyend has been hinting at? Cause I was really hoping for some bug fixes on the OG play, and this makes it seem like maybe that is t gonna happenā¦
Yep can second this - had the same issue when messing around on the new firmware earlier today
New engine sounds amazing, would love to have it on Synth!
Or Iām gonna have to get my hands on a Play+ to complete the trifecta

Did you hear yet if this was going to be added to the Synth? Seems obvious that it would be, but I havenāt confirmed that yet.
I wanted to know if I can go backwards on firmware.iāve been testing it and itās amazing but I have a live performance in a few days so best practice would be install the older firmware. Is it safe to do it? Thanks!!

No issues whatsoever to backtrack your firmware. Just stick to best practices and create a new project after the firmware downgrade to initiate the down/update.

Great update guys! Thanks for adding the much requested USB file management. Much better than frequently having to pull the uSD card. DIRT sounds really cool and the editing interface is so MUCH better!

I ran the update and created a new project but the new synth Dirt and new synth editor is not showing up? ive tried to delete the workspace folder but that didnāt work.
any help appreciated 
When you go to Settings > Firmware what version is displayed?
1.3.0
Build:2097
If you go to the menu > synths > Synth 1 > Model and scroll through - what engines do you see at the bottom?
Remember, you have to select which 3 synths are available in a project. There you will see the full list of synths.
Also, make sure you copy the DIRT presets into the Presets folder
