First release of OpenElixir-02, custom firmware for the Erica Synths LXR-02 drum machine.

Changes from the stock firmware (1.7)

  • No more hard clipping in the mix. Voices and FX are summed in 32 bit, followed by a limiter on
    each output. Kits that didn't clip before sound exactly the same; louder ones are limited instead
    of clipped. Voice drive/distortion and the FX are unchanged.
  • Renamed to OpenElixir-02. The start-up screen shows "OpenElixir-02 / Version 0.1" and the
    device appears as "OpenElixir-02" (manufacturer "tunefish.at") on USB. MIDI mappings in your DAW
    that use the old "Sonic Potions USB MIDI" port name need to be set up again.
  • Memory usage report in every build (developer change, no effect on the device).

Kits, patterns, projects and the MIDI implementation are unchanged.

Installing

  1. Download LXR_OpenElixir-02_V0.1.img below.
  2. Copy it to the top folder of the SD card and delete any other LXR*.img files there.
  3. Switch the LXR-02 off, insert the card, hold the encoder button and switch it on. Keep holding
    until "LXR Updater" appears.
  4. Wait for "Update OK!". The device restarts with the new firmware.

To go back, install the official firmware update from Erica Synths the same way.

The .hex and .elf files are for programming and debugging with an ST-Link; you don't need them for
a normal update.
