Scott Rise of Division 6 has released v2 firmware for his Business Card Sequencer and Dual Mini Sequencer.
Here’s what the v2 firmware adds:
- 7 sequence memories
- 5 song memories (string sequences together)
- SLUR- change pitch between steps without firing gate
- Variable gate timing (including ratcheting)
- ACC can be set to drop or not drop between steps, or follow gate timing for that step
- Auto-advance step when programming
- Live transpose (use the keyboard to shift entire sequence up or down while running)
- Live edit (buttons you push while running get saved to the sequence)
- 1X mode (disable to use XP IN as a reset without requiring an external gate mixer)
- Clock out (use ACC out jack to output clock if using internal clock)
The firmware is available as a free download, but v2 requires a different microcontroller IC (PIC16F1788). Rise says that the original microcontroller was too full to add the new features.
You can get an upgrade kit via the Division 6 site or you can download the firmware from the site and DIY it.
Cheeky price rise but a lot of cool stuff added to justify it and still very good value by Eurorack standards!
The price rise is $0! =D
Quite right, my bad – dollar to pound conversion in UK shops…
