This one in via Soviet Space Child, via the DSI forums. Note the thread is dated Tue Aug 6, 2013 but that appears to be when it was created for the first OS updates. Also note the latest OS on the DSI site is currently 1.2.0, so this is new. You can see a history of OS updates for the Prophet 12 in that thread. Be sure to read it if you plan on updating earlier. Soviet Space Child mentioned there are some bugs with the release which might explain why it's not on the DSI site yet. The news hear is DX7 style linear FM has been added to the Prophet 12.
"Main OS 1.2.9.2
NOTE: Reset globals or enable the screen saver global after installing this OS unless you absolutely do not want it on to save your OLED lifespan
Alternate tunings/scales added. You can load these in the globals section after sending the attached MIDI sysex file for alternate tunings. Read the Prophet 6 manual for more information
Linear FM (DX7 style). An additional parameter has been added in the Osc section to toggle between exponential and linear FM modes
Unison now selectable from 1-12 voices or in split/stack from 1-6 voices
Arp can now output the MIDI notes it is playing. A global has been added to enable this
New mod destinations added:
Osc 1-4 Slop
Osc All Shape Mod
Delay All Time
LFO and Envelope destinations can now be assigned by holding down the LFO/Envelope button and moving the destination you wish to set, in the same way the mod destination button works
Added global to toggle MIDI program change messages being sent
Added global to turn off screen saver mode
Fixed bug: Delay buffer overruns minimized to fix audio dropouts and some clipping issues
Fixed bug: BPM calculation smoothed to improve delay performance from quick tempo changes or an inconsistent clock source
Fixed bug: Delay buffers now cleared when changing programs
Fixed bug: Show response not working correctly when pots set to passthru
Fixed bug: Screen glitches when coming back from sleep mode
Fixed bug: Program Volume (CC#7) no longer sent when MIDI send off

How come I only just found out about this in December? Luckily I was just thinking of trading my P12 for a P6 when I read about the Linear FM update - now it finally does everything I'd hoped it would do when I bought it! It's dodged a bullet for a couple of more months for now anyway. Don't get me wrong, on paper the P12 blows everything away, I just can't get it to sound good in a mix. Anyway, I'd already relented and bought a Reface DX to satisfy my FM needs and very happy with it I am too. It has a bad rep (probably from people who haven't even used it) but the touchpad is actually excellently designed and the large screen makes programming a breeze, which is very rare for an FM synth. The minikeys will put many off but most people have a master keyboard anyway.
