Hi, just spent a while putting this together, due to the fact that I just unboxed a Model D that was in firmware v1.0.7, and was only really able to find the release notes for v1.1.1.

Hopefully this’ll be of some use to someone in the future:

1.0.3 (25 January 2018)

Addressed Issues:

  1. Set the pitch CV to zero volt after power on.
  2. Improve the accuracy of Mode Wheel

1.0.5. (02 March 2018)

Addressed Issues:

  1. Boot loader updated to work with Windows 10.
  2. Fixed issue when holding two notes, releasing a note re-triggers the filter envelope.
  3. Fixed issue with transpose not working after receiving the correct sysEx command.
  4. Fixed issue with pitch bend not functioning without a note on input.

  2. Improved multi-trigger behaviour settable by SysEx commands (lots of screenshots and examples in PDF)
  3. New SysEx command for setting the Pitch Bend mode (lots of screenshots)
  4. Improved Pitch Bend range in “fixed” mode, the pitch range is now +/- 1 octave.
  5. Improved indication of the A-440 startup actions.

Now, the real question is, what was new in v1.0.7? And why aren’t these just online for everyone to see?
