[jarcorbo]

Good news! Thanks Josh

[PolarIceCaves]

Hi, so sorry everyone. this is my bad, and I am sending (or resending?) the following orders today: James Anderson, Michael Hopkins, James Towning, Jacob Soto, Samantha Brown, Stephen Kirby. these are the only chip orders I could find for the past 3 mo.s. please let me know if I have missed any others, best, Josh

Got mine today, thanks Josh

Is anywhere currently stocking Quantimators (more specifically in UK/EU) with the new 1.2 firmware pre-installed or does such a thing not exist?

[stwerewolf]

Does anyone have the Quantimator manual to hand by any chance? The whole Toppobrillo site is 404'ing for me.

Don't know if this is the most recent version, the Scales and Chords are probably not up to date.

You are welcome. By the way, user Bob Borries has made these neat charts showing the latest implementation of the Scales and Chords:

Just wanted to update: Josh said he'd send me a 1.2 chip back in June. I've waited patiently, sent a couple follow up emails... have heard absolutely nothing.

It's kind of ridiculous, and to be honest, really aggravating. To echo what someone else said, how hard is it to put a chip in a padded envelope and drop it in a mailbox?

There's no dorian scale on my module as it stands, which makes it a pretty sorry quantizer, despite all of the great things it's capable of.

Does anyone have the 1.2 firmware Hex file in stock ?
Is it possible to share it or send it directly to me ?

The link on toppobrillo website is dead.

I have it and just added it to my dropbox account, try that?

Downloaded, thank you very much Luap !

Just picked one of these up on BST and pretty sure I'm on the original firmware since I can't seem to activate the trigger out mode.

Does anyone know if chips are still available? Or is there anyone in Berlin who is up for helping me update the firmware?

[loorenz]

With Toppobrillo contact email I have had a pretty fast answer for my question about the fw.
Try to ask here.

Just wanted to point out that Bob did an amazing job with the PDF but nobody cared to check, it's full of mistakes. I mean, it's obvious, it shows major instead of minor at some chords and it has four notes in chords that should have three notes. Unless the arpeggios contain all notes in a chord ?

I'd be happy to help with this Bob if you want to update the PDF.

Yes! let's get those corrections made.

I just bought one of these used off Reverb. Is there any way to tell which firmware version is installed (other than knowing if Dorian-mode is available)? Also, are the 1.2 ICs still available from the manufacturer?

from 1.1 to 1.2, no, no way to tell by just looking at the front panel. however if you are able to remove the main board and have a look at the chip, it will be written on the chip. I am not selling the chips anymore, that module has been discontinued for a while, The firmware looks to be available from another person apparently! I wasn’t aware that it was not working on my old site any longer. I will have to reupload it. sorry for the inconvenience.

[studio460]

Thanks a lot for the reply! I'll check as soon as I get it.

@Bob/Josh: Did this ever get sorted?

Thanks a lot, man! Downloaded! Much appreciated! Now I need to buy one of those EEPROM-flashers off eBay? I think the module just came in the mail today. Though, I think it may be an older unit since the seller bought his second-hand. Will pull it apart in a few minutes (if it's not too difficult) to discovers its secret code! Kinda Jonesing for 1.2 since Dorian is one my favorite modes!

. . . from 1.1 to 1.2, no, no way to tell by just looking at the front panel. however if you are able to remove the main board and have a look at the chip, it will be written on the chip.

Okay, I pulled the board and see a handwritten "1.1" in Sharpie on the largest chip on the board, so I guess I have the older EEPROM. Anyone in the Los Angeles area willing to reflash my chip for me? Or even someone not in L.A. willing to help if I send it in a self-addressed, return-envelope?

Or can someone tell me EXACTLY what I need to buy to flash it myself? I did see the macOS Terminal line of code needed earlier in the thread and have downloaded the hex-file in the post above, but I've never programmed an EEPROM before and would have no idea what I'm doing. (Did I mention that Dorian is my favorite mode?)

Also, maybe there's a synth shop in L.A. that offers this kind of service?

EEPROM part number?

Hey guys! I may have found someone local to update the IC for me. He wants to know the part number. I can't really read mine. Anyone know the manufacturer/part number? Here's a photo:

[toppobrillo]

its either an Atmega 328 or 328p. there are many options to flash it, I use a $10 “usb asp” device with the “avr fuses” app to flash these, which just reminded me - don’t mess with the fuse settings.

Awesome! Thank you! Can anyone else point me to a $10 USB ASP programmer that they know works with this EERPOM?
