This release adds support for the Gen 3 4i4 including:

  • same mixing/routing, line/inst, pad options as for Gen 2 devices
  • enable/disable "Air" to make your guitars and vocals sound instantly brighter and more spacious
  • enable/disable Mass Storage Device (MSD) mode

As for the Gen 2 driver, you need to enable the driver at module load time with the device_setup=1 option to insmod/modprobe. In /etc/modprobe.d/scarlett.conf, something like one of these lines should do it:

options snd_usb_audio device_setup=1,1,1,1
options snd_usb_audio vid=0x1235 pid=0x8212 device_setup=1

Enabling MSD mode seems to me to be something that you would never want to do, so once you disable it the control gets hidden (use device_setup=3 if you really want to make it reappear).
