Here’s the release notes for anyone interested

-------------------v1.26------------------

• Poly 2 Mode

  • Allows for fast sequences of notes with long release times
    without creating a muddied or dischordant sound canvas from
    overlapping release tails.
  • Great for fast chord sequences and emulating vintage synths with
    lower voice counts

Try it:

  • Set Voice Assign mode to POLY 2 and set ENV2 (VCA) Release to max
  • Play a chord and let it ring
  • Play another and hear the release tails politely curtailed

• Binaural Mode Enhancement

  • Added subtle imperfection to envelope curves Left/Right.
    Produced a pleasing natural movement and enhances the
    Binaural mode making more out of the stereo analog
    signal path.
  • Most noticeable for resonant filter envelope sweeps and envelope
    pitch modulation.

Try it:

  • Setup a patch with a slow & deep ENV-1 to filter sweep. Medium
    to long decay and release times and plenty of resonance.
  • Listen for pleasing movement during the release tails and decay
    phases.
  • Toggle Binaural on and off to compare

• RBN-1 Intelligent pitch and expression integration

  • Only for use with the RBN-1 Accessory. Intended for Super 8
    users who wish to add the ribbon control already present in the
    Gemini.

Try it:

  • Connect RBN-1 Ribbon Controller to Expression Pedal input (EXPR)

    IMPORTANT : The RBN-1 must be connected to the instrument
    before it is powered on

  • Power ON whilst holding button P6 (“EXPR”). An LED flourish
    will show the mode has been entered and will repeat every power
    cycle as a reminder that the Expression Pedal input is in
    Pitch Ribbon Mode.

  • Press and hold a key and move your finger on the ribbon surface
    to experience smooth pitch expression

  • Mapping the EXPR source (now the ribbon) to any destination
    in the mod matrix will disconnect it from intelligent pitch
    control

  • Clearing the Mod Matrix (SHIFT->CLEAR) will re-connect the
    RBN-1 to the intelligent pitch control

  • To exit Pitch Ribbon Mode and return to normal Expression Pedal
    mode, press and hold MANUAL for >5s to reset global settings.

• Bender Lever decoupled from Aftertouch->Pitch control when LFO2 ON

  • A frustration for some users was that previously, to stop
    aftertouch affecting pitch when LFO2 ON , the BEND->DDS Amount
    fader must be reduced to zero, meaning the bender lever action
    is also zero.
  • In this version, turning LFO2 ON defaults the bender lever pitch
    bend amount to +/-2 semitones, independently of the BEND->DDS
    fader. The BEND DDS fader in this settign now controls the
    Aftertouch->Pitch bend depth exclusively

Try it:

  • Load INIT PATCH
  • Turn LFO2 ON in the performance control section
  • Adjust BEND->DDS amount fader to control Aftertouch->Pitchbend
    amount
  • Moving the Pitch Bend Lever should give you +/-2 semitones bend

Fixed / Improved

• Modulation of LFO1 Rate in non-binaural mode has now independent
control for each of the 20 (16 Super 8) voices

• Effects (Delay and Chorus) can be used after an filter Autotune
routine (SHIFT->TUNE) or reset of global settings
(press and hold MANUAL for 5s). Previously required a power cycle

Great to see ongoing improvements and bug fixes. Keep up the good work @udo-audio team!
