LO-FI MODE
Lo-Fi mode is available for seven algorithms: LUSH REVERB, INFINITY REVERB, GENERATIVE REVERB, GRANULAR SHIMMER, GRANULAR REVERB, MICRO LOOPS and MICRO LOOPS REVERB. LO-FI DELAY has no Lo-Fi mode, since this algorithm is Lo-Fi by design. Lo-Fi mode halves the sample rate of the spatial processing, from 48 kHz to 24 kHz. As a result, delay, reverb and decay times become twice as long, and the tonal character of the processed sound changes while the dry sound remains unchanged (operates at 48 kHz).
To turn Lo-Fi mode on, select any of the seven algorithms that support it, then press the UP and DOWN sensors simultaneously and hold them for at least 3 seconds. The algorithm’s LED starts blinking, indicating that Lo-Fi mode is on.
To turn Lo-Fi mode off, select any of the seven algorithms that support it, then press the UP and DOWN sensors simultaneously and hold them for at least 3 seconds. The algorithm’s LED returns to a steady light.
Lo-Fi mode is off when WARP is powered on. Lo-Fi mode is switched on and off for all supported algorithms at once.

We check SOMA Laboratory's official download page for the SOMA Laboratory Warp every day. One message per release. No spam, no newsletter.
Download the firmware .smf file from the WARP firmware page. Format a USB flash drive (1–32 GB) as FAT32 and copy the file to the root directory. Power off the WARP. Remove the six bottom-panel screws (do not detach the grounding wire). Insert the USB drive, then hold the tactile switch on the left side of the PCB while powering on for ~2 seconds. LEDs animate top-to-bottom on success. Reinstall the bottom panel.
What’s added:
Sensor Lock
To prevent accidental effect switching, the device features a sensor lock function.
To activate sensor lock, quickly tap both sensors (Up and Down) simultaneously three times.
The time interval between taps must not exceed half a second.
When sensor lock is enabled, it is indicated by a series of slow blinks of the currently active effect LED.
While sensor lock is active, touching either sensor will not change the effect, but will turn off the current effect LED.
To deactivate sensor lock, quickly tap both sensors simultaneously three times again.
Deactivation is indicated by a series of fast blinks of the current effect LED.
