Field notes

Firmware v0.6

Firmware v0.6 is a compact but useful release: Inspect Scene on-device and in the browser, MIDI CC and CV triggers as new ways to fire actions, plus themes, user pedal tooling, and downbeat resync.

Firmware v0.6

Highlights

  • Inspect Scene — Pull up a scrolling summary of the current scene’s settings and actions in performance mode. Assign it to a button (now the default button assignment) so you can check a scene without diving into menus.
  • Scene inspection in the web app — New Scene tab / inspect card lets you browse scene details from the browser, with live updates when scenes change or are reordered.
  • MIDI CC triggers — Assign actions to incoming MIDI CC messages in a scene, with on-device menu pages for enable/disable, channel, and input. Your keyboard or controller can drive scene actions directly.
  • CV Trigger mode — Fire actions from CV input using configurable threshold and debounce — modular gear can punch scene actions without waiting for a gate-style note mode.
  • Downbeat resync — New action variant resets the beat counter and transport position to the downbeat on demand, for tighter recovery when things drift.
  • On-device themes — New Theme settings page lets you customize the menu color palette.
  • Custom pedal library — Upload and manage your own MIDI device definitions with safer naming (slugified IDs) and validation that blocks accidental overwrites and duplicate CC numbers.

Bonus round

  • Device Authoring guide — Documentation (plus an LLM prompt helper in the web UI) for writing custom pedal JSON definitions.
  • Smarter menus — Menu items are typed (action / submenu / display) for clearer navigation and styling.
  • Scene reorder feedback — Reordering scenes notifies the UI more reliably so the web list stays in sync.
  • Default CV input — New scenes default CV input mode to none, so unused CV isn’t silently active.
