!IMPORTANT!! Be gentle with the module internal parts and the USB-Micro connector. Only handle with care and put your fingers where absolutely necessary. All firmware files are using the .bin file format but the download links are linking to .zip files. After downloading, make sure to unpack the .zip file to reveal the .bin file. On Mac, the OS will try to also unpack the .bin file and will give you an error message, simply ignore this message.
IMPORTANT:
What you will need:
- the module to update
- your eurorack case with power supply
- a USB-B printer type cable or micro-USB cable depending on the module
- a windows or MAC computer
