Fast firmware update

To update Hermod+:
  • drag the "hermodplus.bin" file into the SD card (do not change the file name)
  • insert the SD card in Hermod+
  • power on Hermod+ while holding the main encoder and wait for the flashing procedure to complete.

Download Hermod+OS 2.02

Recommendations:
  • format your SD card with your computer ("FAT32" with Windows, "MS-DOS FAT" with Mac) before using it with Hermod+
  • before updating Hermod+, please backup your projects on your computer to prevent any SD file corruption
  • we encourage users to regularly backup projects besides the SD card
  • please use your dedicated SD card only with Hermod+ to secure your projects
  • if you still experience issues when updating the OS, even with a recently formatted card, please try an other SD card

Hermod+OS 2.00
February 03, 2025

Features
  • ADDITIONAL AUTOMATION: Added 3 internal automation per track - MOD2, MOD3 and MOD4
  • SEQUENCING AUTOMATION: All track automation can now be step-sequenced (MOD, MOD2, MOD3, MOD4, pitchbend, aftertouch, sustain), using the 'step mode analyzer'. Hold the STEP button while in STEP mode to select what to sequence
  • INTERNAL MODULATION: ModMatrix now supports MOD, MOD2, MOD3 and MOD4 as modulation sources, which can be mapped to effects parameters
  • LFO FX: added "OFFSET" parameter
  • CV RECORDING: added "CV IN DETECTION". When recording, CV automation recording will trigger only when a "significant" voltage change is detected, in order to save memory.
  • MIDI OUTPUT ROUTING: The MOD signal of a track can now be routed to program changes
  • MISC SETTINGS: added "DEFAULT MUTE" (mute track or effect on a pattern level, or on track level)
Ergonomics
  • NAVIGATION (STEP): STEP mode navigation has been improved with the new 'step mode analyzer' feature. Selecting an automation is more immediate using the 8 track buttons.
  • NAVIGATION (TRACKS): To alleviate any confusion when navigating tracks, a new "POPUP TRACK SELECT" miscellaneous setting was added. When navigating tracks, this will momentarily show the currently selected track number.
  • NAVIGATION (LAYOUTS): In STEP mode, on a MOD track, pressing the corresponding track button will toggle between the automation view (MOD) and the gate view
  • NAVIGATION (LAYOUTS): In STEP mode, on a "child" track (i.e. a track which CV output has been taken over by another track, to output velocity for example), pressing the corresponding track button will toggle between the automation view and the gate view
  • CV/GATE INPUT ROUTING: the former "ACTIVE TRACK" global setting has been split into two global settings "ACTIVE TRACK NOTE" and "ACTIVE TRACK MOD"
  • CV/GATE INPUT ROUTING: the former "INPUT CV" track setting has been split into two track settings "INPUT NOTE" and "INPUT MOD"
Bug fixes
  • Randomize MOD values wasn't working as expected
  • STEP+X shortcut worked only on second press

Features
  • Tuner: an advanced tool to easily tune your oscillators.
  • MIDI monitor: displays incoming MIDI/USB events.
Bug fixes
  • Hermod+ did not always respond to MIDI message START
  • Changing the CV CLOCK DIV setting during synchronized playing could cause a crash.

Hermod+OS 1.20
April 29, 2024

Features
  • Audio synchronization from a DAW is now possible, enabling sample-rate precision.
  • NEW SETTING: SYNC INPUT > CV RESET = AUTO (auto-stop Hermod+ player when not receiving an incoming CV clock for more than 2 seconds).
  • NEW LAYOUTS: now you can mix a MOD (modulation automation) CV output with other voices (for example, a 2-VOICE layout MONO+MODULATION, or a 3-VOICE layout with MONO+VEL+MODULATION).
Ergonomics
  • EFFECTS MODE: select and enter an effect slot when holding its pad. Allows faster effect navigation (adding or editing parameters).
  • MONITOR: improved UI, fine pitch is easier to read.
Optimizations
  • Player clock jitter (when using external clock source) greatly improved.
  • Hz/V standard now works with input range from C5 to F8 notes (was C0 to F3).
Bug fixes
  • LFO and ENVELOPE EFFECTS: fixed unsynchronization issues.
  • RANDOMIZER EFFECT: randomized out-of-range notes were generating negative values on CV outputs.
  • Hz/V OUTPUT STANDARD: out-of-range notes were not filtered and were generating random CV output values.
  • LOOPER: when performing the Y+REC looper shortcut from TRACK MODE, Hermod+ was also entering the SETTINGS mode.
  • LOOPER: notes held when Hermod+ was playing (but before recording) was recorded at a random position.
  • When Hermod+ is using external sync, sometimes the RESET OUT was not set to LOW when RESET OUT MODE = RUN=HIGH.

Hermod+OS 1.12
April 8, 2024

Bug fixes
  • TRACK LAYOUTS: Fixed LAYOUT = GATE + VELOCITY configuration.
  • ECHO FX: Delayed notes where slightly unsynced on the grid (when sync = ON).
  • EUCLID FX: Rate 1/1 was creating shorter notes, not 1-bar length notes.
  • REC: Popup was always displayed when REC was enable from a CV INPUT.
Ergonomics
  • RANDOM FX: Note length percentage is now computed relative to the original note length, rather than relative to the bar.

Bug fixes
  • Loading a project with the player running could self-cancel unexpectedly.

Hermod+OS 1.10
February 26, 2024

Features
  • Hold STEP and press REC to enter the new 'ON AIR' mode. In this new mode, the 16-pad grid turns into a chromatic keyboard, enabling you to play and record notes. Scrolling the selected note will transpose the keyboard and set the note of the bottom-left pad. It is also available on MOD tracks, where you can play MOD values with the 16 pads.
Optimizations
  • Improved timing precision of note recordings.
  • Lower overall latency.
Ergonomics
  • DELAY effect renamed to ECHO
Bug fixes
  • SYNC: When using an external CLOCK SOURCE, the firt clock pulse was ignored, causing jitter.
  • GATE OUT: When overlapping two of the same note, the GATE output did not retrig, and fully ignored the second note.
  • REC: When recording with HARD REC option, QUANTIZE was temporarily disabled on all tracks.
  • REC: CV IN was not able to capture very short trigs.
  • REC: CV IN was not able to capture low-voltage gates.
  • REC: When recording MOD from CV IN, the CV output was a mangle of the previously recorded value and the newly recorded value.
  • MIDI IN: Receiving MIDI SYSEX could cause a crash.
  • UX: Copying a pattern from the STEP menu would re-enable follow playhead.
  • UX: Un-zooming could set the current page to a blank page beyond the pattern length.
  • FX ARP : octave had no effect when STYLE = Random.
  • FX SCALER : muting/unmuting the effect could cause stuck notes.
  • FX MOD TO NOTE : muting/unmuting the effect could cause stuck notes.
  • FX MOD TO NOTE : when QUANTIZE = Sample And Hold, notes were not re-triggered if MOD input did not change.
  • FX ENV : would sometimes send unexpected NoteOff messages when stopping playback.
  • FX NOTE TO CC : would sometimes send unexpected NoteOff messages when stopping playback.

  • When using the CV RESET INPUT, and CLOCK SOURCE = INTERNAL, Hermod+ was not restarting.
  • Pasting events would merge clipboard events with existing data.
Minor additions
  • Added CHROMATIC scale to SCALER effect.
