How can one restore the original firmware if wanted?

#231

You could re-flash using firmware and following the instructions from this page: https://mutable-instruments.net/modules/stages/firmware/

Does anyone know if itā€™s possible to make a single-segment Attack envelope with Stages? Not a single-stage decay envelope, as is normal with simply gating one stage and setting the fallā€¦ the reason I ask specifically is because I donā€™t want to go through the hassle of using 2 channels of Blinds or similar to both invert the signal coming out of Stages, and then also having to offset it back up to positive voltage . A single-stage decay envelope from Stages that has been inverted goes from -8 to 0 volts (instead of the normal 0-8v)ā€¦ I need an attack envelope that is unipolar in the positive range. Any ideas? :slight_smile: :pray:

Youā€™d have to use two segments and just have a minimum decay time.

yeah this is one of the only flaws in the design

Would someone clever be able to modify the firmware to give a long press or combination rendering the potentiometers and sliders reversed? This would be beautiful for a gate delay patch where each slider would represent a stage in a strum pattern and could be modulated, played more physically and be easier to discern the balance of strums from the position of the sliders. Is there a champion for making this dream a reality?

I donā€™t have any programming experience but that sounds like a lovely idea!

#237

Yeah this is an awesome idea!

#238

Who might we cajole into making this a reality? I long for this to be real!

#239

Probably parting with mine soon, but this is a very good idea. There are lots of cool things you could suddenly do in this scenario. Being able to CV the wave shape on the LFOā€™s would be super dope.

When power cycled does Stages leave where it was left off?

20 characters of indeed it does

thanks for you help.

Thank you so much for doing this. I updated my module yesterday and Iā€™m happy that the LFOs are slower. The original firmware said down to 16s but this one is 64s per cycle. Has anyone tested how slow the cycles go with a negative voltage on the CV input, after the update?

Hi,
Was wondering if I can use Mutable Stagesā€™ hold segment(s) as a fixed (positive) offset voltage?
Couldnā€™t find relevant info in the manualā€¦

This implies that if I set A to its min position(min delay?) while HOLD is active I get traditional fixed voltage?

If the GATE input is patched, an independent HOLD segment behaves as a pulse generator. The slider [C] and CV input [1] set the pulse voltage, while the potentiometer [A] controls the pulse duration. If looping is enabled, the pulse lasts for as long as the gate signal is high.

If the GATE input is not patched, the segment behaves as a CV delay. The voltage set by the slider [C] and CV input [1] is sent to the output with a delay set by the potentiometer [A] . Even without an external CV patched into the input, you can use this as a slider-controlled CV source with delayed action.

#245

Under Single Segment Processing

If nothing is patched in the GATE input, the slider and CV input will be continuously tracked, but will still be subject to the glide effect.

Set the mode to STEP, and have it loop. That can be an offset.

Has anyone here run into hardware problems with their Stages? Recent events have led me to be more concerned with my modulesā€™ build quality than I once was, but from what I can tell this module seems pretty solid.

#247

iā€™ve had no hardware problems with my Stages, regular use, a handful of gigs, etc.

#248

Feels solid to me, no issues so far.

#249

My Stages appears to have transmuted into a gas state, and unfortantely I am unable to patch it any more. Iā€™m hoping it precipitates into a liquid state, which is easier to work with; it has done this on two other occasions. I was unable to freeze liquid Stages with my consumer grade freezer. It always returns to a gasious state when I am not looking at it, so Iā€™m unclear on the cause. Very unstable.
