Synth firmware 1.2 focuses on interface improvements and disabling effects when they aren’t in use to free up some of the CPU.

New Features

Effects (Rev, Mod, Del) are not activated when not used in a scene
Dim Mode added to the system settings.
Interface improvements to help avoid clipping and distortion
- Master Volume now shows dB values instead of a line
- Mixer Level meter turns red when clipping
- Maximum mixer sends set to 0dB instead of +12 (Old projects will still load with the value saved at +dB settings)
Added screen indicators to help troubleshoot when a Synth isn’t playing a sound
Added an all note off option to stop hanging notes
- Access via Main Menu > All Notes Off

GRAIN Burst Ratio parameter values were playing at double the specified tempo
Incorrect engine could load on when mapping PC change options if patches shared the same name
Freeze when using Layout and Mode knobs on Grid page simultaneously
Clicking when using crossfaders for Mod > Rev or Mod > Del could sometimes occur
Aftertouch did not work if Pad hit extremely hard
Preventing hanging of held notes when Local Mode changed to off
Quickly scrolling the program change mapping list sometimes switched the active patch
PC change could corrupt the loaded patch and browsers
- Patch preview removed from PC mapping to prevent this issue
Freeze after loading a scene with PC Mappings multiple times
Switching Pages would occasionally result in an empty parameter page
Main Menu navigation sometimes cut-off

Download and extract the firmware above
Copy the .psf firmware file to your Synth SD card → Firmware folder

Best Practice: save your current scene to avoid any potential data loss
On the Synth menu navigate to Main Menu → System Settings → Firmware → Update Firmware → .psf file
Click the encoder and confirm with Yes
After the update create a new scene to initialize the config settings
