Update and Swap Firmware, Audio Files and Presets

Owners of Series 1 modules can update the module's firmware to get the latest features and other updates. This process can

also be used to convert a module to run any Series 1 firmware. This means that your bitbox can be converted to a synthbox or

an fxbox and then back again. You can also install bitbox firmware on your fxbox or synthbox. The firmware can be updated

with the factory image, which includes the original presets, or just the firmware itself. You can also choose individual presets to

copy over to your microSD Card.

You can switch to a different microSD card while operating bitbox. Simply remove the current card and insert the new one,

then load a preset from the new card as usual.

Before you re-use a microSD to update or swap firmware, backup the files that are stored on the microSD card:

Remove the microSD card from your module and insert into your computer. You may need to use a microSD

adapter.

Copy the files from the microSD card onto your computer.

Here are the steps required:

Download the desired firmware onto your computer. You can choose to download either synthbox, fxbox or bitbox

firmware, but only one set of firmware can run at a time. You can find the latest firmware images on the forum at

https://forum.1010music.com. You must be a registered user of the forum to access the download files. Forum

registration is free.

Unpack the zip file. Some browsers do this automatically for you.

Prepare a microSD card with the FAT32 format. The card that comes with your module is formatted properly, but you

may need to reformat a card that came from somewhere else. Make sure you only have the files from one Series 1

module on the microSD card at a time.

If you want to replace the Presets with the factory image, copy the full contents of the zip file onto a microSD card. If

you do not want to overwrite your presets, copy only the MATRIX.BIN file to the microSD card.

Turn off power to the Eurorack.

Place the microSD card in your module.

While powering up the unit, hold the HOME and INFO buttons. When you see the message about upgrading the

firmware, you can let go.

When the upgrade finishes in about 15 seconds, the unit will restart with the new software.
