This is the same firmware. 1. Download and extract the firmware from [Polyend.com](https://polyend.com/downloads/synth-downloads/) 2. Copy the .psf firmware file to your Synth SD card → Firmware folder 3. Best Practice: save your current scene to avoid any potential data loss 4. On the Synth menu, navigate to Main Menu → System Settings → Firmware → Update Firmware → .psf file 5. Click the encoder and confirm with Yes After the update, create a new scene to initialize the config settings ---

Any progress on the other firmware Betas…? It seems Synth progressed relatively quick from Beta #1 till #3 and Final. ---

> [@elegant.book6772](#): > > It seems Synth progressed relatively quick from Beta #1 till #3 and Final. Fortunately the fixes in #2 were relatively minor, and #3 only had one fix from a previous beta so the turnaround was fast. Play and Tracker beta fixes are in the works, Play should see a new beta first. ---
