Nearly 18 months ago we released Sending V2, which remains one of the most ambitious projects we’ve ever done. Today we are releasing a brand new firmware update that includes new features, bug fixes, and quality of life improvements.
As soon as we began planning a digitally-controlled platform, we knew it had to be update-ready. With all the complexity and relatively unbounded possibilities that come with digital control, the ability to update is both a safety net and an opportunity for growth. We’re excited to share what we’ve been working on—in many ways this feels like a brand new pedal.
If you want to update first and ask questions later, all you need is a MIDI interface and a TRS to DIN cable. Head to our portal via the link below to perform the update. On that page, you’ll find some more details and an instructional video.
For the less impulsive among you, the complete changelog is located on the product page, along with a new technical manual and quick reference guide. Here’s the top-level good stuff:
New LFO engine: smoother V/oct movement, a modulation matrix (Prismatic Wall users, rejoice), delay time sync, and more
Arpeggio Mode: this easter egg mode converts the LFO into an arpeggiated pitch shifter. Also includes a unique glitch mode.
Revamped Swell mode: including adjustable feedback levels, momentary activation in Trails mode, and a new Hold mode inspired by vintage digital delays
CV Clocking: In this mode, the CV/EXP jack will accept 0-5V clock pulses.
A variety of bug fixes and quality of life improvements
And finally, here’s a new video manual. We enjoyed making one for Prismatic Wall and I thought this would be a nice opportunity to do one for Sending as well. I’m no video professional, but I’m learning. At least it’s straight from the source :)
This covers features common to both firmware versions, but we were sure to spend extra time on new functions like Arpeggio Mode and CV clocking.
This week we’ll be sharing videos from our various demo artist friends as they put the new update to good use. So keep an eye out for those.
Oh, one last thing: at the time of this post, we have a handful of acid etched units in stock!
With that, thanks for reading. And back into the lab I go—the prototypes need me! Next year should be fun.
Cheers,
John & co
