Latest 3rd Wave OS version 1.7a, released Feb 2, 2024: w3_1_7a.zip (same for keyboard and desktop module,  includes the normal OS update ldr file and separately includes two wavetables with the original Prophet VS waveforms as an example of the new PPG format wavetable loading feature)
OS version 1.7b: w3_1_7b.ldr (version 1.7b includes a small hotfix for a test that our contract manufacturer runs to validate units are working properly before shipping. Units that come from the factory with version 1.7b installed already have the Prophet VS wavetables loaded in slots P34 and P35)
