FIRMWARE UPDATE

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

1. Download the audio file to your computer.
2. Turn off your Eurorack system and connect the audio output (headphones out or audio output from a soundcard) to the L(MONO) IN of the Black Stereo Reverb module. Set the TYPE switch to the D position (lowest).
3. Push and hold the SHIFT and FREEZE 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.
4. Now, play the audio file from your computer. The left five LEDs will indicate the audio level of the incoming firmware file. At least
5. 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.
6. The firmware update will take few minutes. During the firmware update a blinking FREEZE 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.
7. Once the update is completed, restart your rack.
