Wish I still had my Metropolix…loved that thing.

Get another one! It’s my favorite euro sequencer, such a playable instrument.

Does the solo kit work with the metropolis or only the metropolix?

Only Metropolix. The former doesn’t have the connections to use it.

Hey Y’all,

Big new release for Metro! Lots of QOL improvements and some MIDI goodies for the Solo users (and euro midi users). Matt made a fun video for the launch!

Updated Manual and Firmware link: Support - intellijel

1.6.0.0 (2025-09-24) Details
  • New: Set the Root Note with a MIDI Note On Message.
    • New Global Setting for setting the “MIDI Root Ch.”
    • Changes the Root Note Setting to the last received Note on the specified MIDI Root Channel.
    • Since we are changing the setting, the latest changes will be saved to state and when you save a preset.
    • Does not affect Custom Scales, since they are configured with their own specific root note.
  • New: Load Presets with MIDI Program Change messages.
    • New Global Setting: MIDI PC (Program Change) Ch.
    • MIDI program change messages 0-63* will select Metropolix presets 1-1 to 8-8 (bank-slot) on the configured channel.
      *Note: Your software or device may display the program numbers as 1-64.
    • Presets will be loaded according to the Load/PC Delay option on the Preset Load screen.
    • Program Changes will be ignored if a Preset Chain is running, or the Preset does not exist yet.
  • New: Immediate RESET/RUN behaviour.
    • RUN and RESET now happen immediately when the button is pushed. The old Click/Hold-Release behaviour has been removed.
    • Internal clock: RUN will start immediately, resetting the phase of the internal clock.
    • Internal clock: ALT+RESET will Reset immediately, also resetting the phase of the internal clock.
  • New: “Reset Input” mode, “Run-C” or Run-Continue. Which does not Reset the sequence when the input signal goes low. You can use the RESET button for a manual reset.
  • Tweak: When Root is assigned to a CTRL knob, the range is ±12 Semitones instead of ±11, allowing you to reach the next octave.
  • Tweak: When Root modulated via AUX or MOD Lane upwards beyond +1 octave (>=1V), the root note will wrap at 1 octave higher, similarly when you modulated downwards beyond -1 octave (<=1V), the root will wrap around at an octave lower.
  • Tweak: No “Pitch Pop-up” when you are on the “Pitch” Home view, allowing you to dial in and see all the stage pitches as you adjust them.
  • Tweak: Increased encoder acceleration for most edit pages. Parameters and Menus with a small range are not accelerated.
  • Fixed: Root/Scale display was incorrect if Root was adjusted but not confirmed.
  • Fixed: Modulation on Root Note is reflected correctly on A/B outputs, as well as the “Bottom Pitch” setting when set to “Root”.
  • Fixed: Late modulation on some position related parameters. (Stages Len, Stages Offset, Loopy Offset)
  • Fixed: UNDO functions were not working on the Mod Lanes and Track CV pages.
  • Fixed: Decreased the brightness of the “DIM” state of LEDs for more contrast (most noticeable on Presets Page).

:smiling_face: Love to hear it!

That ‘Running C’ setting for the ‘Reset’ input looks like a really great way to add space to a sequence. Smart feature!
