# Synth 1.1.0 Public Beta Firmware #3 Synth 1.1 Beta #3 introduces a fix to an issue in 1.1 Beta #1 and 2 that causes scales to load incorrectly when all 3 synths are set to note. This is the potential final release firmware for Synth 1.1. **Fixes** - Grid Scale doesn’t recall correctly when loading a scene which has all instruments in Note Mode > ⚠ Beware that beta releases might introduce new bugs that may lead to loss of work, data corruption, performance degradation, or crashes. We recommend backing up your SD card before trying the beta. If you run into any issues please share them with us by logging a #Beta Bug in Backstage.
