Gamechanger Audio releases Motor Synth MKI motor firmware v2.06

July 1, 2022 · 1 sources

Gamechanger Audio released motor firmware v2.06 for the Motor Synth MKI, dated July 1, 2022, according to the firmware listing on the maker's Motor Synth MKI support page1.

The motor firmware is listed separately from the instrument's main firmware on that page. The same page lists main firmware releases, including MS MKI FW v1.22 dated April 27, 2023, MS MK1 FW v1.21 dated March 9, 2023 and marked unreleased, and MS MK1 FW v1.06 dated August 20, 2021 and marked legacy1.

The page gives no change notes for motor firmware v2.06. Its notes for the main firmware releases cover other areas: v1.22 lists a DETUNE SETTINGS screen DRIFT/DET name fix, a MASTER TUNE range that now changes with DETUNE MIN and DETUNE MAX, a CTRL encoder press fix in ARP screens and a MOD screen update; v1.21 lists multiple GUI fixes for consistency, a repeated play press while PLAY acting as PAUSE with ALT+PLAY playing from the start, and a PRESETS ENCODER press muting selected steps in the ARP RHYTHM and SEQ PATT EDIT screens1.

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