Hi everyone,
this is the first release candidate of MOD OS 1.14 for Duo, Duo X and Dwarf, codename “Evelyn, a Modified Dog”.
It is a test build: install it if you are comfortable reinstalling a previous version by hand, and please report anything odd in this topic. The new “Report a problem” button in the Web UI brings you here with your device details already filled in.

Install
- On the device: Settings → System Upgrade. The device shows up on your computer as a USB drive.
- Copy the
.tarfor your device onto that drive and follow the prompt on the device. - It reboots, installs (about five minutes) and comes back on 1.14. Your pedalboards and
files stay in place.
To go back, install the 1.13.5 file the same way. You can download it from the Releases page.
What’s new in 1.14
-
Tone3000 inside your device. The NAM loader, the cabinet simulator and the IR loader
have a “Browse tones” entry: log in to Tone3000, pick a capture or an IR, and it downloads
straight into the plugin. Brought to you by MOD Audio, made possible by the
Starless team.
-
Grouped plugin controls. Plugins that declare port groups now show their controls
grouped and colour-coded in the settings view, created by the Starless team with support from MOD. -
Easy Spin programs. The File Manager has an “Easy Spin Programs” folder and the
plugin’s.jsonprograms are recognised. EasySpin is a very exciting upcoming plugin and project by @mark_melvin -
Drop and replace. Drag a plugin from the sidebar onto one on the board to swap it,
keeping the connections. -
Snapshots are always saved, their screenshots refreshed, with a save indicator.
-
Control Chain devices behave exactly as on 1.13.5. Persistent assignments across
unplug/replug are ready on the development branch and will come in a later release,
once the new update flow has settled. -
MIDI program-change pedalboard switching works again after the last Web UI session closes.
-
A Stable / Testing update-channel setting inside Settings (for now a preference only; the update server side comes with a later build).
-
Report a problem button: opens this topic with your system details ready to paste.
-
Under the hood: newer audio engine (jack2, mod-host), Control Chain master, MIDI merger,
updated resampling and ALSA libraries, plugin frameworks (DPF, JUCE, Carla), plus a long
list of fixes (silent failures in snapshots, plugin install and file transfers; pedalboard
screenshots; a crash at startup in the Python bindings; mixer profile per sound card).
Known issues
- Once, deleting the NAM plugin right after a Tone3000 download crashed the audio server
(it recovers on reboot). We could not reproduce it - if it happens to you, tell us exactly
what was loaded. - On the Duo, the built-in
sha256sumcommand gives wrong results; verify downloads on your
computer instead.
How to report
Web UI → “Report a problem” → copy the text → paste it here with what you did, what you
expected and what happened.
Thanks for testing!
