November 26, 2023 · 1 sources

Disaster Area Designs published version 2.03 of the beta firmware for its DMC.micro MIDI controller on November 26, 2023, according to the DMC.micro v2 beta page. The update adds MIDI program change as a message type for UTIL modes and adds support for new devices.

The new device support covers the Whammy 4, Neunaber Illumine, Kernom Ridge, IK Tone-X and Line 6 DL4 mkII¹. The maker renamed the RIVERSIDE device to STRYMON v2, writing that "these have the same controls," and added tap tempo support to STRYMON v2 to work with newer devices¹.

The v2.03 entry follows earlier beta releases listed on the same page. Version 2.02c added a preset offset display option, described as "0-99 default, or 1-100 if you're nasty," and an EEPROM ready state check for 24CWxxx family EEPROMs¹. Version 2.02a added a config option for bypass send set to ON CHANGE or ALWAYS¹. Version 2.02 added sysex output for the C4 and other Source Audio devices to enable MIDI over 1/8-inch TRRS, and added the Source Audio One Series TRRS device¹.

The page carries a warning about the beta firmware:

The v2.03 file is dated November 26, 2023¹. The maker instructs users to perform a factory reset after updating, which it says will erase presets, configuration, settings and UTIL mappings¹. Update tools are on the maker's support page, and the DMC.micro Editor app requires Chrome, Opera or Edge¹. No price is given for the firmware.
