FIRMWARE UPDATES

Modor's firmware upgrades can be installed on the NF-1(m) or DR-2 by using MIDI Sysex messages. If you need a simple SysEx software, we recommend using one of these:

Linux: Simple Sysexxer, can be found here

Mac OS X: SysEx Librarian, can be found here

Windows: SendSX, can be found here

Android: Syx-Lib, can be found here

OS011 Sysex file for Modor DR-2

For those who upgrade from OS006 or earlier, don't forget to install the new bootloader. Install file and instructions are included in the upgrade.

OS006 adds another bug fix.
OS007 simplifies the patch loading/saving procedure and removes some disturbing click sounds when playing mono.
OS008 adds looping amp-envelope, polyphonic aftertouch, breath controller as mod source, and a few other things.
OS009 fixes some bugs (audio clicks are gone), adds new modulation destinations, adds internal/external syncing, adds MPE support (for Roli Seaboard and Linnstrument), and makes osc&env toggling more intuitive.
OS010 fixes full patch compatibility between the minimodor NF-1m and the NF-1, and has some improved Midi MPE support.
OS011 fixes a tuning problem that was created on OS010, and fixes a bug in the MPE system.
OS012 fixes a bug that was created in OS010, which messes up the preset memory in some devices.
OS013 stabilises Comb Filter Feedback, adds oscillator phase randomization, and most important: adds microtonality.
OS014 improves stability when using the editor, adds chord memory, hipass delay filter, microtonal 1-note-off-scale and some bugfixes.
OS015 adds a few extra bugfixes
OS016 improves SafetyMode and parameter inspection, adds a 'stretched' tonescale, eases source/dest selection for modulation wires and improves MIDI MTS and MPE for microtonal applications
OS017 adds filter BP/LP/HP mixing, and a few handy shortcuts

Temporarily offline! Some people report problems in the bootloader upgrade process... Will be fixed soon!

You can check your current OS number in the SYSTEM SETTINGS menu.

WARNING! Installing new firmware destroys your complete patch memory! Make a backup memory dump before installing the new firmware. Modor Music cannot be held responsible for the loss of your work!

WARNING! For NF-1 users with OS009 or earlier: Some MIDI interfaces don't seem to handle large sysex files correctly - thereby damaging your patch memory and making OS updates impossible. Try a Bank dump/receive first to check if all goes well! We'll try to make a list of trusted MIDI interfaces soon - Report your success or problems with OS updates in a mail to info@modormusic.com. This problem does not exist on the Minimodor NF-1m and on NF-1's with OS010 or higher, because it uses an updated sysex protocol.

MODOR NF-1m

The most recent version of the Minimodor NF-1m firmware is OS017. There is no separate users' manual for the NF-1m, but most aspects can be found in the NF-1's user manual too. There's also a video manual on the NF-1m page.
REMARK: Users that have OS001 on the Minimodor NF-1m have to use the old style 5-pin DIN connection to install the firmware update. Updating through Midi-over-USB is not possible. This bug was fixed in OS002.

OS001 was the basic version on the first NF-1m's.
OS002 fixes a bug in the Midi-over-USB system.
OS003 adds safety mode, improved MPE support, fixes a bug with selecting modulation sources and adds some handy shortcuts.
- When turning a control while keeping EXIT/NO pressed, you can inspect the parameter value without changing it.
- When turning Ctrls 4 or 5 while keeping MOD pressed in the OSC screen, you can change the FM harmonics without menu diving.
OS004 fixes a bug in the Midi MPE support, and fixes a bug with Midi Note Nr #00
OS005 fixes a bug that was created in OS003, which messes up the preset memory in some devices.
OS006 stabilises Comb Filter Feedback, adds oscillator phase randomization, and most important: adds microtonality.
OS007 improves stability when using the editor, adds chord memory, hipass delay filter, microtonal 1-note-off-scale option and a number of bugfixes.
OS008 adds a few extra bugfixes
OS009 improves SafetyMode and parameter inspection, adds a 'stretched' tonescale, and improves MIDI MTS and MPE for microtonal applications
OS017 adds filter BP/LP/HP mixing, and a few handy shortcuts. Firmware numbering jumps from OS009 directly to OS017, to be consistent with the NF-1.

Mac OS X: Standalone and Audio Unit, version v6
Linux: Standalone editor, version v6
Windows: Standalone and VST3 editor, version v6

Remark that there are also third-party editors, developed by Sigabort and iLov Machines!

FACTORY PRESETS

Reinstall all factory presets at once by using this Sysex File.

Modor NF-1 / NF-1m factory presets (75,1kB). This works on all versions on the Minimodor NF-1m and on OS010 or newer on the NF-1.
Modor DR-2 factory presets (152,5kB).

SYSEX PRESET BANKS

These patchbanks can be uploaded to your NF-1 using MIDI sysex. Instructions on how to import/export patchbanks can be found in the Modor NF-1 user's manual (§8.9). Your NF-1 needs to be in the SYSEX DUMP-menu on the 'Bank Receive'-item to receive patchbank sysex, otherwise these messages are ignored. If you need a simple SysEx software, we recommend using one of these:

Linux: Simple Sysexxer, can be found here
Mac OS X: SysEx Librarian, can be found here
Windows: Use the sysex dialog (View menu, Sysex) of Midi-OX, can be found here, or use SendSX, can be found here
Android: Syx-Lib, can be found here

Important: Of these patchbanks, there's always an old and a new version. Since the addition of a USB midi interface to the NF-1m, the sysex protocol had to be changed to allow it to work with Midi-over-USB. Since OS010, the NF-1 also uses this same protocol. So:

When using the USB connector, only the new version can be used
On the NF-1 with OS009 or older, only the old version can be used
When using the MIDI IN connector on the NF-1m or the NF-1 with OS010 or newer, both versions can be used.

Feel free to send us your own preset banks if you want to share them!
