Field notes

Firmware v0.2

Firmware v0.2 is a short, punchy follow-up to the first numbered release: Flag Ceremony, looper punch-in, smarter CC hold, and a clearer on-device update experience.

Firmware v0.2

Highlights

  • Flag Ceremony — A scene-local flag (semaphore) you can raise and lower, with optional CC messages for up/down states. Assign a Flag Ceremony action and enable the flag system in config.
  • Looper punch-in — Timed punch-in actions send a start CC at the beginning of a bar and a finish CC after a duration in beats or bars — built for looper-style record windows locked to the clock.
  • Control Hold for CCs — Hold a pad to send a CC, then release based on mode and duration threshold (follow-up / release timing). Temporary morphs without a second pad for “off.”
  • Touchwheel initial CC value — In endless-encoder / CC mode, set the starting CC value per scene so the wheel doesn’t jump from an arbitrary position when the scene loads.
  • Update progress on the display — Firmware and asset updates via WebUSB show an on-device updating screen with progress, instead of leaving you guessing while the transfer runs.

Bonus round

  • Release / assets tooling — Cleaner promotion of firmware and asset binaries into the web updater manifest.
  • Pedal library refresh — midi-devices catalog bump bundled with the release.
