Following on from our V2 firmware release earlier in the year, Midas V2.1 brings a host of new features, effects, and integrations to its flagship HD96-24 console, enhancing and streamlining the workflow for audio professionals and is available to download via mCloud now.

Key upgrades include the addition of 32 Stereo Multiband Compressors, providing more granular control over frequency bands for detailed sound shaping. Native support for the Stream Deck Mk2 and Stream Deck XL introduces faster, more intuitive control, while the new TC Clarity Meter in the FX options ensuring precise metering for superior audio monitoring.

With the recent release of the DL8 and HUB4 PRO, Midas V2.1 now supports HUB4 PRO via local AES50 and DN9680 ports, expanding connectivity options. Additionally, the DL8 is fully supported when connected to HUB4 PRO, increasing system flexibility. 

Midas V2.1 update also delivers a series of significant improvements aimed at enhancing performance and user experience. Multiple fixes have been implemented for the MD4 Finalizer, improving its reliability. The organisation of assignable key options has been refined for better workflow efficiency, while the value displays on the MTEC and 1176 effects have been improved for clearer readings. New low-latency "live" presets have been added for the MD4, catering to real-time applications. The XL4 effect has been reskinned for a modern look, and the default release time for the Multiband Compressor and M6 has been optimized to 200 ms. Additionally, the loading and unloading of the Ocean EQ has been improved, and the phantom power lock now functions correctly on Source 2, ensuring more stable and efficient operation.
