Updating Firmware
Imitor Versio’s firmware can be updated by the user via our firmware webapp. In the
unlikely event that the need arises, firmware patches will be available on that site.
Alternate firmwares are also available on the webapp to transform your IV into a
completely different module.

To update the firmware on your Imitor Versio:
1. Turn off the power to your case and unscrew IV.
2. Remove the power connector on the back of IV.
3. Plug a micro USB connector into the port on the pack of the module, and the other
end into your computer.
4. Follow the instructions in the

Design Notes
The main design goal of Imitor was to push the limits of what a multitap delay could do
on our new audio platform. The final architecture was stereo 12 tap delay. The taps are
a stereo pair that simulates interaural time difference for a first-order binaural effect.
Most of the focus of Imitor is on the spacing and timing of the taps.
Take care when you’re using IV: we’re pretty sure it’s cursed. While testing it, we ran
into problem after problem after problem. Then, when we finally moved to bring IV into
production, the panels that were made had unexplainable mistakes on them and had to
be reprinted at the last minute. When we finally had a correct version of the module in
hand, we sent a pre-production unit to Patrick O’Brien to record a demo... But its audio
outputs were defective. On the way to drop a replacement on POB’s doorstep,
Stephen’s car blew a tire.
Maybe it’s got something to do with that pyramid on the panel?
