FIRMWARE UPDATES
Firmware updates are contained within the latest Intellijel Firmware Updater application, which you
can download from the product’s page on the Intellijel.com website. The application is available in
both Macintosh and Windows formats, and will install firmware into your module over USB. Use the
drop-down lists at the top of the application to select the product you wish to update, and the
firmware version you want to install. Click the Instructions button to read specific instructions for
updating your module.
If you wish to see what firmware versions are currently installed in your MIDI 1U and CVx 1U
modules, you will need to download and install the Intellijel Config app, which will display the
modules’ current firmware versions.
1.2 (Dec, 2021)
● NEW : MIDI 1U can now operate in
portamento mode , slewing (with constant time) between
pitches in a mono synth. Send standard, channelized, MIDI CC messages from your DAW,
sequencer or controller to turn that channel’s Mono Synth Portamento on/off, and to set the
portamento time. Specifically:
CC 65 (Portamento Control) on MIDI Channel “x”.
Value 127 = Turns MIDI 1U Portamento ON for the mono synth assigned to channel ”x”
Value 0 = Turns MIDI 1U Portamento OFF for the mono synth assigned to channel ”x”
CC 5 (Portamento Time MSB) on MIDI Channel “x”.
Values 0-127 = Sets the MIDI 1U’s portamento time from 0 seconds (CC 5 = 0) to about
1.1 seconds (CC 5 = 127), slewing the pitch output voltage from the mono synth
assigned to channel ”x”.
● NEW : Output type " Gate (Any) ” is available as an Output Type for each jack on the
expander module (accessed via the Intellijel Config App ). This will generate a gate signal
when any “polyphonic” or “drum” synth voice is played, allowing for paraphonic operation, in
which all voices trigger the same envelope (for example).
● NEW : Arbitrary Clock Dividers for the assignable outputs (such as the MOD/CC
assignments on a single MIDI 1U, or the assignable outputs on an expander module ). The
CLK divisions remain the same (cycling through 7 fixed options), but if you reassign
CC/MOD or an Expander Output to “Clock”, you can set the division to anything from 1
division to 192 divisions.
