“A more intuitive, playable control layout. The changes are
subtle, but after lots of conversations with users, we worked to
make each knob and switch the choice we liked best. (Of course, you
can still modify those choices via our open source firmware, if you
like.)

“Patch storage. Sure, it was a bit more ‘pure’ never being able
to store patches, but this is a digital synth, after all. Now, you
can save and recall up to 16 patches right on the MeeBlip, using
dedicated front panel load and save buttons. It’s especially nice
for live performance.

“Variable pulse width. Instead of a fixed square wave, you can
now use the dedicated PWM knob to adjust the timbre of the first
oscillator. There’s also a ‘pwm sweep’ switch for enabling an
automated PWM envelope, of which we’ve grown rather fond. Hello,
thick synth leads.”
