Hey all!
Happy to announce we are alpha testing the next version of the MFU and Twister firmware. It’s quite a big change despite the minor version number.
If you are interested in testing these before public release let us know in this thread and we’ll contact you when the beta opens.
Utility 2.91
- Upgraded to Qt 6.8.3 framework (macOS + Windows)
- Fix build, runtime, and compatibility issues
- Remove single-device assumptions internally
- Introduce per-device session model (behind the scenes)
- MFU detects a device in bootloader mode and offers recovery options
- Bank navigation synced between unit and utility
- MFU now reads unit settings consistently on load
- Responsive Light/Dark mode on macOS
- Settings no longer need multiple clicks to be edited
- Vectorized icons for better rendering on high DPI displays
- Simplified UI with cleaner layout
- Setting groups auto expand
- Edits are saved to the unit when using the send command even if the edit box was not closed
- Fixed graphic glitches introduced in 2.90
- New WinUSB DFU drivers (Win)
- MFU shows whether an encoder has detent enabled and its color
- MFU no longer moves an encoder with detent to 0 on load
Twister
- More useable color palette (Current + MF64 palette switchable via the MFU)
- Configurable Shift encoder channel (per encoder)
- Configurable Animation channels (global)
- Bank change animations
- More than 4 banks
- We can do 8 banks with no sequencer or 4/6 with sequencer. Can’t do it as a regular MFU option, one has to be an alt firmware due to memory restrictions.
- New bank select side button action (hold the side button and push on an encoder to jump to a bank like Sprectra has). Serves as a quick way to check what bank you are on too which is a must when using more than 4 or
- Add Spread as an indicator type
- Shift Page A/B available as both toggle and momentary
- Removed Bank Cycle side button action (redundant with new Bank Select action)
- Display sleep timer and animations (RGB wave and turn lights off)
