Moog One firmware update 1.8.0 was released on August 19th and included 15 fixes, most related to improvements in the ability to use MIDI on the Moog One which previously had never been fully integrated. It didn't take long before several users started noticing new issues, the most significant of which is that many presets had been rendered unusable in the process. With the release of firmware update 1.8.1 on August 27th, most of the preset issues have been fixed.
The root cause was that some of the new code related to updating MIDI Latch functionality inadvertently trampled oscillator sync setting which severely affected many patches rendering the update unusable, especially for those users not using the new MIDI functions. There are still a small number of patches that still have issues, and Moog is still working on identifying the cause in time to include it with 1.8.2 which is now being worked. (The option of returning to firmware 1.5 is still easily accomplished if the remaining issues affect you.)
Thanks to Geert Bevin at Moog Music for jumping in immediately to correct the most serious issues with the 1.8.0 release and to Matt Urmenyi, the sound designer for all the patches in this video for recognizing the problem and sounding the alarms to make this fix a priority!
