Gamechanger Audio released main firmware v1.22 for the Motor Synth MKI on April 27, 2023, according to the firmware list on the maker's support page¹.

The update carries four listed changes: a fix to the DRIFT/DET name on the DETUNE SETTINGS screen, a change so that the MASTER TUNE range now changes with DETUNE MIN and DETUNE MAX, a fix for the CTRL encoder press in the ARP screens, and a MOD screen update¹.

The maker states that older presets do not work on firmware versions starting v1.20, and directs owners to convert existing presets with the MK1 preset converter¹.

The page also lists earlier releases. Version 1.21, dated March 9, 2023, is marked unreleased and lists multiple GUI fixes for consistency, a change so that a repeated play press while PLAY equals PAUSE with ALT+PLAY starting playback from the beginning, and a change making the PRESETS ENCODER press mute selected steps in the ARP RHYTHM and SEQ PATT EDIT screens¹. Version 1.06, dated August 20, 2021, is labeled legacy firmware, and a separate Motor firmware v2.06 is dated 01072022¹.

The Motor Synth MKI is a synth instrument; the maker's support page does not give a price for it in connection with this update.
