Firmware compatibility

Which official firmware each of our mods and tools works with. If your instrument's row doesn't say โœ…, don't update its firmware yet.

Last updated 6 October 2026

Makers release new firmware without warning us, and a mod built for one version won't work on the next until we've ported it. Ports are free for owners, on a best-effort schedule. Keep your own copy of the official file you're running now.
