SP2 digital VCO upgrade
SP2 has officially leveled up. This free firmware update unlocks enhanced MIDI control, MIDI CC implementation,
new CV and GATE output modes, and a bunch of quality-of-life improvements. But the real big news is that the
original analog oscillator (bless its pitch-drifting soul) has gone digital. That means vastly improved tuning precision
and stability and 8 new variable waveforms to explore and run through SP2's rich and unruly analog filter and VCA.
This update requires moving a jumper on the SP2 circuit board before uploading the new firmware. See the firmware
update instructions below.
This manual covers the differences between the analog VCO firmware v1.2 and the digital VCO firmware v1.0. For
full feature functionality, please see the digital VCO reference manual:
