AMT Electronics released MODERN firmware v.2.00.18 on February 24, 2025, for the Pangaea VC-16, CP-16 and CP-16A-6F22, the maker said. The company described it as the first official public release of the new v.2 firmware for the Pangaea devices¹².

AMT said MODERN is a new firmware generation that contains both previous firmware versions, GREEN and BLUE, as a single whole¹². The download page lists the file as Pangaea CP-16M ver.2.00.18 (24/02/2025)².

The firmware adds Tremolo, Chorus, Phaser and Delay effect blocks and an updated Early Reflections block that can run in mono or stereo, according to AMT². It allows up to two parametric equalizers per preset, each with its own settings, placed anywhere in the signal chain, and effect blocks can be dragged to any position in the chain². AMT also lists a configurator section in the lower menu of the application for selecting and activating effect blocks per preset depending on processor load, redesigned LPF and HPF filters implemented with a single five-band parametric equalizer, improved preset import and export, input and output signal indication, on-the-fly conversion of WAV IR files and a file manager for IR WAV files on a mobile device².

The effect list AMT gives for the firmware is: [NG] [CM] [PR] [PA] [IR] [EQ1+LPF&HPF] [EQ2+LPF&HPF] [TR] [CH] [PH] [DL] [ER] [PV (Preset volume)]². The release announcement describes the blocks as Noise Gate (global setting), Compressor, Analog Preamp (Clean / Low gain / High gain), Power Amp (9 types), IR cabsim (1 IR for both L/R channels per preset), Parametric Pre/Post EQ, Hi/Low pass filters plus Presence, and Delay or Reverb effect per preset¹.

AMT states the firmware is compatible with the AMT Pangaea Mobile App for Android OS². No price is given for the firmware; the maker's announcement links to a download page and to a page for buying the devices¹.
