Good timing with new firmware coming out! The red stripe is 1

:pray: @XiXora! but where does it says “red stripe”?

:pray: @dangriffiths! is the new firmware the extended sequencer above?

On the right side of the stripe in the picture? Now I’m second guessing my eyes heh

oh! now that I made zoom to the picture I can see it! that is very small :open_mouth:
I could not see it just by looking into the module.

Yes! I am updating using the combined one from @qiemem as the harmonic oscillator mode is lovely

I’ll try out all firmwares to see which one is my favorite :slight_smile: thanks!

FWIW, I believe my firmware contains pretty much everything in the other firmwares, including the new extended sequencer, mode switching, etc. Also, in mode 1, it’s designed so that it should feel almost exactly like stock (but then the polarity control, freq range control, etc., are there if you want). The reasons you might not want to use my firmware:

  • Definitely more likely to be bugs in than in stock
  • If you just want all your LFOs to be slower by default and nothing else. While all LFO ranges are adjustable in mine, it takes a button combo (hold button + move slider) to do so. Mode 3 makes them slower by default, but it also has some advanced features like random segments.
  • There is some core behaviors I changed. In my opinion, they are strict improvements, but I could see some people disagreeing. This includes audio-rate and super LF-rate clocked LFOs and ramp end-value tracking. Also, enabling looping mode happens when you release the button instead of while the button is down to work with mode switching.

If you’re just starting out with Stages, I would definitely recommend either sticking with stock or mode 1 in my firmware.

I was amazed how quickly you integrated Émilie’s changes. Now the firmware is getting updated quicker than I can learn all the features. Thanks for all the work you’ve put into pulling everything together into a very usable package.

Just played with the harmonic oscillator in LFO mode. It’s amazing how easy it is to get complex related modulations. Best is that each output has built in attenuators.
Is it possible to sync/clock it with an external source (gate in) like the normal LFO’s ?

Glad you’re enjoying it!

The individual gates act as an LFO reset (as well as pinging the LFOs presence in the mix out), which can be used for some tempo-syncish purposes. Besides that, not really. I might consider making the first gate input a global sync, but that would make the LFO modes behave quite differently from audio-rate, and I’d like to keep them consistent if possible.

Thanks. Agree, I guess at this stage, it gets quite complex changing behaviors and features.
I am fine with using the second LFO as "sync"output and have stages as Masterclock.

:open_mouth: thank you so much for the info! :grinning:

yes, I’m just starting out with Stages, I think I’ll be sticking with stock firmware for now to get familiar with the module. but those futures sound amazing, so in the future I’ll be most definitely trying them out :wink: thanks!

So much love for stages! It really is like a modular inside a module!

Are there any good video tutorials for @qiemem ‘s firmware? Tried searching but didn’t see

Not that I know of. A couple people have mentioned that they’d like to make some, but I don’t think anything’s been posted. I would love to, but don’t really have the time for anything of any quality and would just be recording on my phone… I’ll try to throw something together if I can.

Wow, this is great! Thank you so much for covering this! Do you mind if I link to the video in the user guide? Also, you might consider posting this on the MW thread and the MI thread.

Oh I just found the vid; it was made by Peakae! I don’t know if they are a user on Lines. Sorry to mislead; I clarified above.

Ah! Thanks for clarifying. I’ll ask on youtube. Still, thanks for posting it :slight_smile: Wouldn’t have seen it otherwise!
