1 Foreword
• You will have received your REGELWERK
with software version 1.xx (where xx is the
current revision number of the version 1
software). This software has been checked
by Doepfer and by our beta-testers, and is
believed to be practically bug-free.
• But in any new software of such complexity,
we know that it's possible that hidden bugs
may still exist. If you find one, we would be
grateful if you could let us know the exact
details.
We will try to remove the bug as
quickly as possible.
• To update your device at the current state
you then had to contact your local dealer.
• This offer only applies to software faults. It
doesn't apply to updates which improve upon
the facilities in your current software, as
detailed in this manual.
• Actual upgrades of the software will regularly
be available to buy.
• To update the software, it's necessary to
open up the REGELWERK to change the
EPROM. Users carry this out at their own
risk: problems caused by incorrect insertion
of an EPROM are not covered under
guarantee.
Please read the instructions in
chapter 3 carefully.
