Here's a beta release of firmware 4.2. The PBC/6X beta testers have had earlier 4.2 betas, but now it's time to get it in everyone else's hands.
FEATURES
PLEASE DON'T DO A MAJOR FIRMWARE UPDATE RIGHT BEFORE YOUR BIG GIG!
- First, back up your settings to a flash drive or computer! If you go back to 4.1 or earlier, your Mastermind will factory reset.
- Download and unzip the firmware file.
- Copy the file to a USB flash drive, and remove any other .rjf files from the flash drive.
- Eject the drive from your computer.
- Power on the Mastermind while holding the 1 and 3 buttons.
- Keep holding until you see "Mastermind Bootloader" appear on the screen.
- Now plug the flash drive into your Mastermind. The update should begin and will take a few minutes to complete.

FEATURES
- Mastermind PBC/6X support. This is the vast majority of the changes, lots of work required!
- Support for Meris pedals, Chase Bliss Dark World, Line 6 Helix LT, HX Effects and HX Stomp
- New audio setting "Any button dismisses tuner" does what it says
- New action: System / Set IA. This one allows one IA button turn another on or off. IA buttons now have an IA number, and Set IA uses that to determine which IAs to turn on or off. This is one of those features where it can be really helpful or can cause trouble depending on how you try to use it. With great power comes great responsibility! At least, the system will prevent improperly configured Set IAs from causing an infinite loop, so you shouldn't be able to hang the system
- Editor now has the ability to do firmware updates on units that support it. This is any PBC or LT made in March 2019 or later. Older units can be updated to allow this feature, but it's not an update I would want end users to do, it's a bit tricky. I'm trying to figure out a solution for customers outside of the US.
- Fixed a bug where expression pedals and external switches didn't work when the tuner was active
- Fixed a bug that prevented the Kemper tuner from being visible when using it in slave mode
