Issue/Help
ID | Issue | Issue/Mod Description and fix |
|---|---|---|
1 | Gate | in case you hear the gate signal - attack clicks - you can try to connect a 100nF polar cap** between GND and Trigger. Measure with an scope to find the best value - maybe you need a bigger value 220-470nf |

turn off and on again
send the boot loader sysex (1.30 version)
turn off
turn on while hold Step1 (all lets flashes like night rider mode)(some older boot loaders don't have the night rider mode)
now send the REEMU 1.3.0 sysex
machine restarts byself in 1.3.0 mode
