GFI System released firmware version 1.8.16 for the Solis Ventus on August 24, 2026, according to the firmware history on the maker's downloads page1.
The update extends the "Display Update Inhibit" function (CC#64) to include the UI in the SV editor as well1. It also adds an option in the global settings to enable or disable Display Update Inhibit functions, and that setting can be overridden using the CC#64 command1. The release fixes a bug with the looper operation1.
"Extended the "Display Update Inhibit" function (CC#64) to include the UI in the SV editor as well."
GFI System states that firmware v1.8.0 or newer requires SV Studio Editor 1.6.0 or newer, and that using the firmware with older versions of SV Studio is not supported and may cause unexpected issues1. The maker's update procedure lists installing SV Studio, powering the pedal off, holding both A and C footswitches while plugging in power to enter firmware update mode, connecting the pedal to a computer by USB, and running the update from SV Studio1.
