Hi all, and welcome to the 1.2.0 release of the GoXLR Utility.
Firstly, there are two new headline features, support for the official 'Stream Mix 2' beta, as well as the ability to Upgrade and Downgrade GoXLR firmware from inside the Utility itself. Given the nature of these changes, I'll put notes separately, and as always, downloads are below.
Before I proceed, I'd like to give a shout out @parzival-space for helping with the firmware update UI code, and @JulanDeAlb for saving the MacOS build, their contributions helped push this release over the line, and are greatly appreciated.
'Stream Mix 2'
This version of the Utility fully supports the 'Stream Mix 2' beta firmware released by TC-Helicon in September 2024, so if you're running the official Beta app you can switch to the Utility and all functionality will be present. Do note, that this requires the GoXLR Driver 5.30 and above. If you run the Mix 2 firmware without the correct driver, a large red banner will appear at the bottom of the UI with a download link to the latest driver.
Firmware Updating
Firstly, as a reminder, the GoXLR Utility is provided as-is. The GoXLR Utility team cannot be held liable for and damage caused to your GoXLR using this, or in fact any, GoXLR Utility feature. Please check the license for more information. If you have any doubts, please use the official application for Firmware actions.
This version of the GoXLR Utility supports downloading and installing official GoXLR firmware from the official TC-Helicon servers. We also support dynamically switching which update site to download the firmware from (Available in System -> Utility Settings).
More details can be found in this wiki page.
Other Changes
- Attempted to solve issues with delayed sampler playback in rare cases (Thanks Pally & Hollingsbee on Discord for the assist)
Final Note
This is likely to be the last 'major' GoXLR Utility release which I do. I've been working on this project for over 3 years now, and with everything that's happened with TC-Helicon, the GoXLR and myself during that time my heart just isn't in this any more and I simply don't have the motivation to keep going.
I will continue to provide releases with bug fixes, work with the community on any PRs submitted, and ensure that the Utility continues to work as expected for the foreseeable future, however I will no longer be dedicating time to new features or general improvements.
This means until someone else wants to take up stewardship of the project, the GoXLR Utility is now in 'Maintenance Mode'. I'd like to thank everyone who's contributed over the years (be that support, code, bug reports, or just being a member of the community), the Utility would never have gotten this far without you.
