User Manual

The user manual for the disting NT is available as a pdf. Please choose the manual corresponding to your firmware version below.

Firmware Updates

Scripts and bootloader

These are only required when using the "Script" method of updating the firmware. If you're using the GUI tool, you don't need these.

Download scripts and bootloader

Firmware downloads

When using the "MCUXpresso Secure Provisioning Tool" tool to update the firmware, download the "package" version of the firmware. For the script method, download the "hex" version.

The "v9", "v10" etc. after "package" indicates the version of the MCUXpresso Secure Provisioning Tool for which the package was prepared. Please be sure to use the right tool version for the firmware you're wanting to install.

VersionRelease dateCommentsDownloads
1.4.0 4/12/2024
  • Added the Looper, Filter bank, Poly CV, Linear/Exponential, Debouncer, and Reverb (Clouds) algorithms.
  • The Attenuverter algorithm can now be used with an output but no input, in order to create offset voltages.
  • The Delay (Mono) and Delay (Stereo) algorithms now have a V/oct input for delay time and an option for fractional delay times.
  • The VCO with waveshaping algorithm now has a sine output and a linear FM input.
  • The Oscilloscope algorithm now has parameters for vertical scale.
  • The UI Script functionality has been slightly extended.
  • Adding a new algorithm no longer causes a full preset rebuild, in most cases, meaning primarily that audio buffers (e.g. delays, the granulator etc.) are not lost.
  • Fixed an issue where sample streaming from exFAT formatted MicroSD cards might sound incorrect.
  • Fixed an issue where the Poly Multisample algorithm might skip notes which should have caused it to steal a sounding voice.
  • Fixed an issue where MTS microtuning would not be correctly used by the various polysynth algorithms.
  • Fixed an issue where respecifying an algorithm to reduce its channel count could cause other algorithms to revert to default parameters.
  • Fixed a crash bug in the Convolver algorithm introduced in v1.3.0.

1.3.0 11/11/2024
  • Added the Spectral Freeze, Delayed Function, and Chaos algorithms.
  • Added support for exFAT formatting of the MicroSD card.
    The first time this firmware version sees a MicroSD card that was previoulsy used with older versions, it will regenerate all of the caching information for the sample folders. These may take a minute or two. Please avoid turning the module off or removing the card during this time.
  • Added the option to output the Step Sequencer algorithm's Mod lane as a MIDI CC.
  • Added support for MIDI and I2C triggers to the Envelope (AR/AD) algorithm.
  • The LFO algorithm can now sync to external clocks or to MIDI.
  • Added a 'Width' parameter to the VCF (State Variable) algorithm.
  • Added support for the new routing analysis part of the preset editor tool.
  • Added a SysEx message to reorder algorithms.
  • More UI information (the state of the various algorithm parameter pages) is now stored in presets.
  • The "CC changes current parameter" setting has been renamed "CC changes view" and now has an option to change the current algorithm as well as the current parameter.
  • Fixed an issue where the Poly Wavetable Transpose and Fine Tune parameters were hidden in the UI.
  • Fixed an issue where the EQ Parametric algorithm might produce no output if the EQ band gains were 0dB.
  • Fixed some issues where large presets would not load successfully.
  • Fixed an issue where the Delay (Mono) algorithm could output loud clicks and corrupt the output of other algorithms.
  • Fixed the Pan parameters of the Sample Player and Poly Multisample algorithms.
  • Fixed a rare issue where the sample playback algorithms could output a burst of noise at the start of samples if two samples of different bit depths were triggered almost simutaneously.

User manual
1.2.0 23/10/2024
  • Added the Step sequencer and Accent sweep algorithms.
  • Added a function to create randomised preset names.
  • Added MIDI and I2C support in the Macro Oscillator 2 algorithm.
  • The Clock algorithm now has a new 'Trigger' type for outputs.
  • When setting up CV/gate mappings, the module now shows more information about which busses will be used for CVs.
  • When adding or duplicating an algorithm, the algorithm name is now made unique (by appending a number).
  • Some UI information (the current algorithm and display mode) is now stored in presets.
  • Added SysEx messages to remove an algorithm and to perform various preset operations (new, save, load, name).
  • Added support for MIDI Program Change messages.
  • Added a setting for the pot movement threshold.
  • Added an 'author' setting which is saved with presets.
  • Added a setting for a less frequently updated CPU load indicator.
  • Fixed an issue where sending or forwarding MIDI to the breakout or Select Bus could cause excessive CPU load.
  • Fixed an issue where mapping the first parameter of an algorithm would break all mappings for that algorithm.
  • Fixed an issue where appending a preset would cause the current preset to take the name of the appended one.
