haha no problem 
Just click on my avatar and you will see the option to send a message.
That’s the problem, I don’t see an option to send you a message! Do I need to have a certain number of posts before that is enabled?
Yes, you need to be “trust level 1” - have to have spent a minimum amount of time / read minimum number of topics before getting that. It shouldn’t take too long. It’s just a basic measure by the forum software to keep spammers from signing up and then immediately messaging users.
Yup, got it earlier and sent Danjel a message. Thanks!
Interested. It’s there a deadline to apply for beta testing, and for the final release? I’ll only have access to the PC I use to update Rainmaker and Shapeshifter for a couple of weeks more. After that, I would have to try Mac only, so I’m hoping the firmware would released before then.
The absence of clipping is a blessing.
Something i noticed :
In the comb unit if you choose the /1 as a source for the clock, the comb clock is now the same as the delay clock ( very nice ) but in this case the clock div does nothing.
If your comb clock source says /1 then you probably didn’t update the display firmware. It should say DELAY/TAP
You are right Kamil, i was not able to update the display firmware.
Danjel gave me a link to obtain the updater, but there was no executable file in the files i obtain after dezipping, perhaps he gave me the macOS one, not sure.
So i go to the intellijel site, i found the intellijel_firmware_Updater_windows_2017-05-24 but when i launch it there is not rainmaker in the list.
Ah, we only have the beta display firmware for macOS. I’ll see if I have time to make one available for Windows tomorrow, though I’m pretty busy trying to finish off the Plonk firmware so we can get those shipped 
Thanks Kamil,
I manage to do it with a friend’s MAC.
I’d love to beta test the new firmware! Will have to spend a bit of time on the forum before sending the PM, I see.
i’m interrest too please
i just installed VB on my mac…
thanks for your great tutotial by the way !

After some hours with the new firware, i didn’t have any crashes.
I found the module easier to use because of the modification of the feedback settings.
The possibility to command the comb section with the clock of the tap delay is really very very useful, in this case will it be possible that div parameter function ? ( Actually it does nothing )
I prefer the new way the encoder is functionning : rapid if you don’t push it, slow if you push it but it’s not a big deal.
while the auto/gain has helped a ton with keeping things crisp and clear, the lowered feedback range makes it a touch harder to blast the sound in and out of quick busts
of distortion.
feels like the feedback could be increased again since the source and output are auto gain controlled now. Modulating it has an attenuator anyways, can be self limited to less than 200%

Quick question - will updating the firmware overwrite my homemade presets? I’m gonna do a backup just in case, but would be nice to know.
No. But it’s always a good idea to back them up anyway.
Thanks! 
I’m getting “configuration of device successful” in Quartus, but progress bar stuck at 71%, and the program crashes, when trying to update on a Win 7 64-bit. Computer crashed when I tried it earlier. Trying to install some different drivers from Altera now to see if that helps.
Been trying with different drivers now, but no luck. It’s just this every time. It says it’s successful, but not the “operation completed” message that was in the Youtube video.
I think it should be ok. I would also enable the “Verify” option to be sure, but if that finishes then it’s probably fine.
I re-tried a few times, and let the program run for a while, and the progress bar turned red and said operation failed due to “loading flash” something or other before crashing the computer. I’ve been trying to get the precise error message back, but my computer has now crashed three times trying to update the firmware. Trying from a laptop now to see if that helps.
