RO'VED
RO'VED uses custom firmware that enables RO'VED’s extended interface capabilities. Do NOT install firmware designed for stock Plaits as this firmware will not work properly on RO'VED. Instead check this page for firmware updates.

How to update your RO'VED firmware:
Method 1 - WAV File Procedure
​
Preparation Steps:
​
1. Ensure Safety:
-
Disconnect all CV inputs/outputs from the RO'VED module.
-
Make certain your speakers/monitors are disconnected from your audio interface. This is crucial as the noises during this procedure can be harsh and potentially damaging to your ears.
2. Set Up the Module:
-
Link your audio interface or sound card's output directly to the MODE CV input on the RO'VED module.
-
Position the FREQUENCY knob at its 12 o’clock setting.
-
Boot up your modular system while holding down the TIMBRE knob.
​
3. Optimize Computer Settings:
-
Ensure that all potential interruptions, like email notifications or any other sounds from your computer, are muted or turned off for the duration of the update.
-
If you're using non-professional audio equipment, like a standard computer's line output, it might be necessary to max out the gain.
​
Update Procedure:
​
4. Begin the Update:
-
Play the designated firmware update WAV file into the module.
5. Monitor the Update:
-
As the module processes the data:
-
The first group of 4 LEDs functions as a signal strength indicator. An optimal signal level is shown by 2 or 3 LEDs being illuminated.
-
The next set of 4 LEDs display the proportion of the present data packet being received.
-
-
If necessary, tweak the FREQUENCY knob to fine-tune the gain.
6. Completion:
-
Upon playing the entire audio file, the module should automatically reboot. If this doesn't happen, you'll need to begin the procedure again from the start.
​
7. Troubleshooting:
-
If the signal strength is suboptimal, every LED will flash red. In this scenario:
-
Push any knob and attempt again with an increased gain.
-
Confirm that there's no software effect or equipment, like equalizers, auto gain controls, or FX processors, intervening in the signal pathway.
-
If issues persist, consider trying the update using a different computer or audio interface.

Method 2 - HEX File (For advanced users):
​
If you own a STLINK programmer you can use the HEX file to update your module firmware.
On the back of the module there is SWD interface that you can connect to your programmer.
