Updating Firmware

Any Versio module can accept any Versio firmware. All Versio module firmwares can be
updated by the user via our

Customer Portal

. Go to the Customer Portal to check out

alternate firmwares including Desmodus, Imitor, Ampla, and many more coming soon.
Transform your module into a reverb, delay, and so much more with the click of a
button. Change it back whenever you like.

Go to

portal.noiseengineering.us

To update the firmware on your Versio:

1. Turn off the power to your case and unscrew Versio.

2. Remove the power connector on the back of Versio.

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 flash app.

Design Notes

When we released Desmodus Versio, quite a few people asked for it to be clocked. To
be honest, a clocked reverb was not something we’d considered: it wasn’t how we ever
used Desmodus! But we batted the idea around (hah!) and eventually it grew legs (I
need to stop).

The problem that prevented Desmodus from tempo syncing was simply that the length
of the delay lines was too short to match most reasonable tempos. Why not make them
longer? The answer is a bit tricky. The platform we use, the Daisy Seed, has plenty of
memory to make them longer but the majority of the memory is too slow for the number
of delay lines in Desmodus (32 delays, up to 128 reads per output sample). Desmodus
splits the delay lines so some are in faster memory and some are in slower memory and
achieves a delicate balance for RAM performance. To increase the delay length the
number of delays had to be reduced. The main change with Electus was to reduce the
number of delays which required changing the structure of the delays. Electus uses only
16 or 20 delays (depending on the mode). That allows for the base delay time to be 8
times longer than in Desmodus, allowing the delays to be timed to a particular tempo.

Electus is the product of a lot of customers like you asking for a feature that we hadn’t
considered but turned out to be cool. Although it isn’t intended to be dramatically
different from Desmodus, we’ve been surprised at just how different it can sound. It’s a
bit more distorted, a little more like a delay, synced when you want it to be...some
sounds will be similar to what you get out of Desmodus, but definitely not the same.
Which effect is right for you? You be the judge -- check them both out for free with the
purchase of any Versio module by logging into the NE Customer Portal.

Special Thanks

All the customers who asked for this!
