Now I'm curious what's new ... nothing I can see from comparing with the manual.
Something else; the FI does not do MIDI clock, right?

what would you expect from midi-clock? what should it control on the f.i.? or do you mean midi-clock out? as of now it is not implemented i think
I was thinking LFO speed, to for instance sync filter wobbles to the song tempo.
Syncing wobbles would be great. If it could output as well then it could sync my Boss Slicer. That would be the bomb.
There's currently no VCF sustain feature so it poses some challenges with that type of sustained tone.

All new devices that we deliver out since about October last year are 1.30, but we did not publish that yet, since it was not important for the users, normally it affects only the manufacturing process. We found that the manufacturer of the PARAMETER potentiometer (the middle one) did not keep the technical parameters of the potentiometer tight enough. This resulted that the second position (NOTE ON LEVEL) and the tenth position (LEVEL) was not always aligned exactly with the position as it is printed on the scale. Now, in the new devices the printed scale is a bit tighter (the angles are a little bit less), and every position is manually calibrated during the manufacturing. However, older devices with the wider print will work just as well with any new software. The only thing that you must not do is to downgrade from 1.30 to a lower software (but I see this is exactly what somebody did here). In this case you may read values that do not belong to the parameter that the knob points to. Gabor will publish now a new online software update method that became ready just now. This will include 1.30.

I use Disaster Area and I'm very impressed. This is an old pic (much has been sold), still have the midi controller but the plan is to replace it with a DPC-5 which will replace the DMC-4 and the Hex (and free up some mA).
The DA midi controllers easily control 4 midi pedals and just make everything a breeze. When funds allow the new board should look like this: Bass> DPC5 > (Loop1: Opti-Fet; L2: Chase Brothers (connected directly with a special DA midi cable); L3: FI; L4: Mobius; L5: Immerse reverb) > out to Broughton Studio One > Amp (tuner from the tuner out on the DPC5). I could free up a loop by combining the FI and Mobius and just use midi pc for on/off. Just waiting for the Studio One and funds for the DPC-5...
A very quick test (apologies for the crappy iPhone sound) of some MIDI control of the Future Impact.

I have created my own version of a controller using MIDI Designer on iOS with an iPad. I use a Livid Instruments Guitar Wing as a physical controller for MIDI Designer, and then the MIDI messages are delivered from the iPad to my board through a Zivix PUC+.
I bought Midi Designer for my iPad and I just need to build an editor. It looks pretty cool and pretty useful for live use.
How does the editor communicate with the Future Impact? I'm asking because I see nothing on my (probably not so good) MIDI monitors. I'm just wondering if it would be at all possible to create a (simplified) editor in Midi Designer on an iPad - I have most everything else MIDI on my iPad and some form of FI sound tweaking app would be more convenient .

The primary way it communicates is through NPRN. @lokki gave me files that listed the controls, and I created my own overkill editor in MD.
The problem is two-fold: (1) communication is not two way and (2) you can create these sounds, but I don't think you can save them to the pedal? At least, that's how I understand it.
