Firmware v0.8 is a tighter follow-up to the big 0.7 release, but it adds some genuinely new capabilities — especially around what you see on the display and how scenes initialize your pedals. The stand-outs are a new Scope screen mode (and the broader idea of configurable display modules), per-scene CC Defaults so pedals start in the right mode every time, and full scene transport control from the web app. Underneath that sit bar-based action timing, smarter mode-aware pedal editing, and sync improvements.
Highlights
- Scope screen mode — A new per-scene display option that plots up to four live signals as scrolling oscilloscope traces: touchwheel, expression, LFOs, sensors, outgoing CCs, or any device parameter. Tempo-synced scrolling, color-coded channels, and a legend — finally a way to see what your scene is doing.
- Configurable screens — Scope is the first display module with its own Configure Display menu (pick sources per channel). The Screen selector is now an extensible system — more specialized display modes can follow the same pattern without reworking scene structure.
- Per-scene CC Defaults — Set default values for any pedal CC in a scene; chosen values are transmitted on scene load so the pedal arrives in the right state. Mandatory mode/gate CCs are required and auto-seeded; optional CCs stay unset until you need them. Fixes the old problem where mode-dependent pedals could start in the wrong mode.
- Full scene transport from the web app — When a scene uses transport, the Info panel gives you live BPM (with Set), play/stop/record, bar/beat position, downbeat reset, and flag raise/lower — full clock control from the browser without touching the device.
- Bar-based action timing — Schedule actions to fire on the downbeat of a specific bar (1–255), not just the next beat or transport start. Useful for long-form arrangements and timed scene changes.
- Mode-aware pedal controls — Pedals whose CCs change meaning depending on a mode selector (Chase Bliss, Meris, and similar) now show the correct controls in the web editor and on-device menus, with hidden/no-op CCs filtered out based on the current mode.
- Improved clock sync — A new sync layer tracks internal clock, MIDI clock, and analog sync quality separately, with better BPM tracking and handoff between sources.
Bonus round
- Expanded pedal library — 11 new device definitions added, bringing the built-in catalog to 226 pedals (including Source Audio Pathways and Erica Synths modules).
- Scene editor refinements — Cleaner randomization workflow when assigning random slots; clearer labels ("Halt" vs "Nothing", "Restore Original" for revert).
- Scope configuration in the web editor — Configure all four scope channels from the scene editor when Scope is the selected screen.
- More reliable action triggering — Improved tracking of action sources (touch, MIDI, CV, etc.) for cleaner hold/release and follow-up behavior.
- Fractional BPM — Still supported from 0.7; set tempos like 120.5 BPM throughout.
- Fresher web assets — Browser cache bypass when fetching assets, so you always get the latest pedal definitions after an update.
- Device Authoring guide updates — Clearer documentation for mode-dependent CCs (x_variants) and mandatory gate CCs (x_mandatory).
