FIRMWARE UPDATE

The Black Stereo Delay2 module features an audio bootloader for ﬁrmware updates. In order to update the ﬁrmware:

Download the audio ﬁle to your computer.
Turn off your Euro rack system and connect the audio output (headphones out or audio output from a soundcard) to the L(MONO) IN of the Black Stereo Delay2 module. Set the TYPE switch to the D position (lowest)
Push and hold the SHIFT and TAP buttons simultaneously and turn the Eurorack system on. The ﬁve LEDs on the right-hand side will start blinking, indicating that the ﬁrmware update mode is active.
Now, play the audio ﬁle from your computer. The left ﬁve LEDs will indicate the audio level of the incoming ﬁrmware ﬁle. At least 3 LEDs have to be illuminated for a sucient audio level. If less than 3 LEDs are active, ﬂip the TYPE switch to the B position to increase the audio level of the incoming signal.
The ﬁrmware update will take few minutes. During the ﬁrmware update a blinking TAP button indicates that the update is going well, a blinking SHIFT button indicates an error. In case of an error, retry the update from step 1.
Once the update is completed, restart your rack.
