Download the firmware file above and save it to your computer.
Power off Ephemere and remove the SD card from the module.
Insert the SD card into your computer and locate the .bin firmware file.
Replace only the .bin file with the new firmware — leave every other file on the card untouched.
Put the SD card back into Ephemere.
Hold down the Edit button on Channel 1, then power the module back on — keep holding it until the update finishes.
Don’t delete or modify anything besides the .bin file. The rest of the card holds your saved presets and the module’s calibration file, and erasing them can’t be undone.
Module 06 — Ephemere
Ephemere
A high-resolution, dual-channel recording interface that stretches or compresses whatever you feed it — from a 4-second grain up to a 1014-second smear — and plays it back forward, backward, or bouncing between the two.
Each of Ephemere’s two channels records to its own SD card slot at up to 16-bit / 44.1kHz, but the interesting range starts once you slow it down — down to a single pass over 1014 seconds, with the OLED display and an input pot that doubles as an offset/CV generator keeping track of exactly where you are in a scan.
Six record modes and three playback directions — forward, backward, pendulum — turn the two channels into something closer to a pair of variable-speed tape loops than a sampler, and a built-in quantizer mode with adjustable scale means what comes back out can already sit in tune with the rest of a patch.
What it does
Two channels, any length you need.
01
1014s to 4s recording range
Record anywhere from a four-second grain at 44.1kHz to a 1014-second pass at 172Hz, with ×5 to ÷5 variable playback speed on top.
02
Dual channels, independent control
Two fully independent recording channels, each with its own input, speed, and scan control, plus an OLED display and up to 16GB of on-board SD storage.
03
Quantized, CV-ready playback
A quantizer mode with adjustable scale, selectable ±5V or 0–10V ranges, and six record modes across forward, backward, and pendulum playback.
