The third generation was released at the beginning of 2019, it was called MKII, since it is a evolution of the previous series of devices. MKII controllers have additional memory for banks settings. Firmware starting with version 3.0 supports this additional memory. New firmware will also work on all previous controller models, but only one bank of settings will be available.

 There are 10 test TB-11P units with old hardware inside, which was produced for testing of production technology and testing the strength of the expression pedal. It is not for sale, and we never sell it to customers, but may be it will sell as "​used"​ in the future by our testers. The back panel of this units is the same as new generation, but it has not serial number sticker. To be 100% sure you  see new generation device, check menu System Setup -> ID. New devices have unique ID number, as old device will display "Not avalible"​ in this menu: There are 10 test TB-11P units with old hardware inside, which was produced for testing of production technology and testing the strength of the expression pedal.
