Release 1.0.0 (Release Candidate #1)

Hello everyone, a new update is here - v1.0.0 aka “Wow!”.
Please read!

This is a special release for us, I mean, 1.0 is here! :smiley:
Being 1.0 we want to get it as stable as possible.
Please help testing as much as you can! Thank you.
(This release will have a 2 week testing period before being considered stable.)


So, first, we finally implemented auto-updates!
It will be much easier (and convenient) to install the next updates.
A new icon on the bottom-right of the web interface will inform you when there’s updates available.

You can now share pedalboards!
Visit https://pedalboards.moddevices.com to see what users have made so far.
Shared pedalboards are integrated with this forum so you can leave comments on them.
If you like a pedalboard you can load it on your MOD by clicking the ‘Try Now’ button!
It will automatically update and install any extra plugins needed.

We made some optimizations to the audio backend and host, to generate less cpu load per plugin.
Also the base CPU load has dropped from 8% to 7%.

We added a virtual ‘All’ bank, so you can now browse all your pedalboards from within the controller.
This is hardcoded as bank 0.

As requested by users, you can now load pedalboards using MIDI program messages.
Pedalboards are loaded from within the currently selected bank.
If you haven’t selected a bank via controller yet it will assume you want all (bank 0).

Finally, there is a big a amount of fixes and tweaks. Check the full changelog below for more details.

Just a small think before someone asks about versions…

If you never updated your MOD and want to go directly to 1.0.0 you can use this update file:
http://download.moddevices.com/releases/modduo/v1.0.0/modduo.tar

This update file works on all MOD versions.

Does it also work on the Quadra :grin: ???

Update done, worked fine and things are getting better!

I’m in a test phase, building pedalboards and learning the possibilities of the Duo before using in a gig situation. Everyone that sees this little guy in action comes amazed to what he can do.

Good job!

ah, I fell right into that one…

the answer is no, this update is for the MOD Duo.:mask:
