Hi there everyone, the stable release of version 1.1 is finally here - v1.1.0 aka “what took you so long?”.
There’s quite a lot of new features compared to 1.0.
They were listed in the 1.1.0-RC1 announcement, but let’s review them again.
-
Bluetooth network support is here!
Now you can go wireless! Requires a Bluetooth 3.0 or higher USB stick (not included in the MOD unit).
The connection speed is not as fast as with the USB cable. But once you load a few projects the browser should cache enough resources and make it almost feel the same.
For more information and how to connect via bluetooth refer to our wiki page:

Tuner!
By holding down the right knob a tuner will appear on the right display.
(note: banks have been moved to the left menu)
Press the right knob to select the input channel (either input 1 or 2).
The tuner currently in use is GxTuner by the guitarix team.
Try it out!

Save and reset pedalboard directly from the controller
A new ‘Current pedalboard’ option on the left display menu allows you to save changes to the currently loaded pedalboard. No more need for connecting the PC for small adjustments.
You can also reset to the previous saved state. -
Restore MIDI device connections
Basically now when you remove a MIDI device (without manually unselecting from the “MIDI Ports” dialog) and then add it back, it will reappear on the web interface and restore the connections it had before.
The device connections are still saved even after you disconnect it. And loading of that pedalboard will have that information pending, waiting for the device to be connected again. -
Control outputs for modguis
This makes it possible to receive some feedback from the plugin DSP side into the web interface.
Currently only AT-1 and Step Sequencer make use of it, but we’re sure there will be more in the future.
Now developers can produce a little more complex interfaces, showing feedback of what’s going on behind the scenes.
There’s quite a few more small changes and tweaks too.
The full changelog is too big for a forum post though. Visit http://wiki.moddevices.com/wiki/Releases#Release_1.1 if you want to see it.
The next time you open the MOD web interface you’ll receive an update notification.
Just click on the tooltip icon in the bottom-right when that happens, then ‘Download’ and finally ‘Upgrade Now’.
Wait for a few minutes while the MOD updates itself automatically.
We hope you’re enjoying your MOD Duo.
Please let us know of any issues!
