New Features! 

We recently updated the Web Editor to include some powerful new features and user-experience improvement. You can use the editor without a device, so feel free to go play around with it! 

Updates:

• New Styling/Fonts
• Copy/Paste for banks, switches, and individual messages
• Click-to-type in the device outline for bank names and switch labels
• New firmware features from v1.2.0, 1.2.1, and 1.2.2 added to settings
• Added Tempo switch labels when setting a switch mode to Tap Tempo

We know you're excited to receive your new PIRATE MIDI products, but with a two-man team we're limited in the number of units we can produce at a time. 

We get heaps of questions about preorder statuses and shipping ETA's. 

Direct messages and emails only slow us down, so we decided to create a page you can check anytime you're itching for an update. We'll update it anytime there's a change in our production timeframes. 

Our production batches often sell out before they're all assembled, so we encourage you to place a preorder as soon as you can. It means we can make more accurate production estimates, and it means you won't have to wait until the next batch. 

Here's the link to our Preorders Status page.
