Firmware 3.4.8 and editor 3.4.6 are now available. This is kind of a minor release; a bug fix and a couple new features:
Version 3.4.1 fixes a bug that affected use with the Axe-Fx and Kemper - buttons that controlled effect blocks would not always work as expected.
UPDATE 12/22/16:
Version 3.4.2 has a bunch of fixes and improvements:
Version 3.4.3 fixes the Preset 2nd Press "IA" option - somehow, it got messed up in the 3.4.2 release. This is only a firmware release, no change needed in the editor.
UPDATE 1/18/17:
Version 3.4.4 includes the following:
Editor version 3.4.4 includes applicable changes from the above list, as well as:
Editor version 3.4.5 fixes a bug that screwed up editing hold functions on local pages.
UPDATE 3/17/17:
Firmware version 3.4.5 fixes a bug that caused a problem with preset buttons in remote mode.
UPDATE 4/10/17:
Firmware/editor version 3.4.6 has the following changes:
Firmware version 3.4.7 fixes two bugs:
Firmware version 3.4.8 fixes a few more bugs:
Firmware version 3.4.9 fixes two more bugs:
1). BACK UP YOUR SETTINGS!!! If you have to go back to 3.3, your GT will factory reset.
2). Download and unzip the firmware file below, then copy it to a USB flash drive. Be sure to select the "Eject" option on your PC to make sure that the drive is in the right state before pulling it from your computer.
3). Power up the GT while holding the two black buttons under the screen. Wait until the "Mastermind GT Bootloader" screen shows up, then plug in the flash drive. It should run the update at that point, which takes less than a minute.
Note: the first time the GT boots up after the update, it will need to convert your settings to 3.4 format. It will take a few minutes to do this, so be patient and let it finish!

- Changed the way presets & banks are specified when you define a device. You now specify the maximum PC a device accepts for each bank (usually 127), and you specify the total number of presets the device has. This scheme accommodates Strymon pedals, which have one bank of 128 presets and one of 72, for a total of 200 presets. Doing this fixes how the Device PC +/- buttons behave when going down from preset 0. Please note that you should go into your Strymon devices in the GT configuration and editing the number of presets - it should be 200 for Timeline and Mobius, 300 for BigSky.
- There's also a "Flat Numbering" setting that switches a device between using PC & bank numbers or using a single preset number. This was already a hidden feature that was used by the Axe-Fx driver - you could specify preset numbers up to 768 without having to do the math to split it into PC and bank. Now, this can be applied to any device that supports MIDI banks. NOTE: This only applies to the PC Messages section of the Presets tab. If you're changing presets using actions, you'll still need to send individual PC and bank messages.
- A new action type: System / Setlist that allows you to switch setlists and/or between preset and setlist modes.
- Fixed a crash that would happen when MIDI Clock is set to Slave and the incoming tempo changes rapidly.
Version 3.4.1 fixes a bug that affected use with the Axe-Fx and Kemper - buttons that controlled effect blocks would not always work as expected.
UPDATE 12/22/16:
Version 3.4.2 has a bunch of fixes and improvements:
- Added support for Selah and Source Audio devices
- Added "IA" option to Preset 2nd Press. Second or subsequent presses on preset buttons toggle the button's IA settings (the same settings that would be active in IA mode). If IA On Color is set to something other than black, the preset button will change to that color when the IA is activated.
- Updated CCs for Line 6 Helix
- Added the ability for the GT to estimate tempo BPM from the tempo flash messages sent by Axe-Fx and Kemper. This works well with the Axe-Fx, less so with Kemper (the flashes are not super accurate). You can turn off "Show Tempo" if you can't get the tempo value to settle down.
- Added "Show Tempo" setting to button settings. This will allow you to choose whether a tempo button also shows a BPM value. "Flash w/ Tempo" also needs to be on for this to work.
- Added Cancel button to preset, page, etc. menus
- Fixed Song/Setlist mode to only highlight the current preset button, even if the same preset appears multiple times in the song.
- Fixed bugs concerning setlist and song updates using the editor
- Added support for Kemper firmware 5.x. This won't work 100% correctly until Kemper releases firmware 5.1.0 (soon, they tell me!)
- Fixed a bug in the editor where the setlist menu on the Globals tab didn't reflect changes made to setlist names on the Setlist tab
- Fixed a bug that made the GT do weird things when you have no preset buttons defined
- Fixed a bug that made the Device PC +/- buttons interact weirdly with the Send Redundant PC setting
Version 3.4.3 fixes the Preset 2nd Press "IA" option - somehow, it got messed up in the 3.4.2 release. This is only a firmware release, no change needed in the editor.
UPDATE 1/18/17:
Version 3.4.4 includes the following:
- Fixed a bug that prevented the local page from being selected in menus and other places.
- Fixed a problem that made the tuner display stick around when changing presets.
- Fixed a rounding error in tempo display
- Fixed a problem that prevented a third press on a preset button from returning from global preset.
- Added a setting "Calculate tempo flash" which disables or enables the calculation of tempo from tap tempo flash messages sent by Axe-Fx and Kemper. This is off by default, you will need to turn it on to re-enable this feature. Until I update the editor, this can only be edited on the device itself. If you change the parameter and read it into the editor, the editor will preserve the setting, but it won't allow you to edit it.
- Tempo changes no longer interfere with bank select mode.
- Fixed a bug that caused problems on hold functions that control Axe-Fx blocks
- Preset/Song/Page,etc. menus now let the Prev and Next buttons repeat when held. When reaching the beginning or end of the list, repeat will stop, but releasing and pressing the button again will wrap around to the other end of the list.
- Fixed a problem that happens when entering setup mode or sending settings to the device when the device is on the global preset.
- Enabled the ability to send note messages on preset change
Editor version 3.4.4 includes applicable changes from the above list, as well as:
- Adds support for Source Audio programmable EQ
- Add "Calculate tempo from flash" global setting - this controls whether the GT tries to calculate tempo from flash messages sent form Axe-Fx and KPA
- Fixed bugs related to copying and swapping pages
- When assigning default buttons for a KPA on GT/22, it will automatically get rid of the sixth preset button. There needs to be exactly five preset buttons in order for Performance mode to work correctly.
Editor version 3.4.5 fixes a bug that screwed up editing hold functions on local pages.
UPDATE 3/17/17:
Firmware version 3.4.5 fixes a bug that caused a problem with preset buttons in remote mode.

- Chase Bliss Brothers support
- Mesa TC-50 support
- Song Menu button now displays songs in the currently active setlist
- Fixed IA Mode and Tuner action issues in Remote Mode
- Fixed copy and paste of external switches in editor
- Fixed hold button action issue in editor
Firmware version 3.4.7 fixes two bugs:
- Fixes a bug in Song Menu
- Fixes a bug that would cause a song to not load in specific cases
Firmware version 3.4.8 fixes a few more bugs:
- Fixed an issue with Preset-/+ buttons and songs that have only one preset
- Fixed an issue affecting tap tempo on external switches
- Fixed Page Preview, which was broken in several interesting ways
- Setlist Menu now goes to first song and preset in list
Firmware version 3.4.9 fixes two more bugs:
- Fixed a potential lockup bug
- Fixed a bug involving CC Linked buttons that are also in groups
1). BACK UP YOUR SETTINGS!!! If you have to go back to 3.3, your GT will factory reset.
2). Download and unzip the firmware file below, then copy it to a USB flash drive. Be sure to select the "Eject" option on your PC to make sure that the drive is in the right state before pulling it from your computer.
