You can find instructions for using this firmware here.

Download and installation

📦 Download the WAV file for your desired orientation and follow the firmware update procedure here. Source code is available here.
stages-bipolar-vX.X.X.wav contains the normal version of the firmware while stages-bipolar-flipped-vX.X.X.wav contains the flipped version for using Stages upside-down.
Note that you press the same button to enter firmware-update mode regardless of using the normal or flipped version: the rightmost button when right-side-up / the leftmost button when upside-down.

IMPORTANT: Installation will clear the module settings if coming from a different firmware. Right after updating from an earlier version of this fork, the stock Stages firmware or joeSeggiola's version, Stages may continuously cycle between green, orange, and red LEDs. Turning the module off and on again should restore functionality. This happens because this fork expands the amount of data stored for each segment, so will be incompatible with the settings stored from a different firmware. If you encounter problems, please let me know, either in a GitHub issue or otherwise.

  • v1.3.0
    • Merge all behavior from the final v1.2 of the official firmware.
    • Fix clocked LFO performance issues to allow for six clocked LFOs.
    • Add bandlimiting to audio-rate LFOs to reduce aliasing on the original LFO shapes.
    • Make slow LFO mode correctly chain with standard mode, not advanced mode.
    • Add flipped build for using Stages upside down. Huge thank you to James Everitt for implementing the driver changes and to chadwick for help testing!
    • Make LFOs resettable by holding the button when patching the gate input.
  • v1.2.2 (never officially released)
    • Visual cheatsheet added by Philip Belesky! #44.
    • Rework random segments to use proper, variable-shape random LFO behavior. Suggested by breach on the old MI forum (pour one out). #3
    • Allow changing harmonic ranges in ourobor mode. Suggested by Hanz (#21) and nifgam in #37.
    • Make trig to gate 1 in ouroboros mode reset LFO phases.
    • Make extended sequencer in addressable mode hold on clocks.
    • Add quantization to digital shift registers.
    • Add LED flash when changing a digital shift register length or quantized note value.
    • Make shift registers advance at end of succeeding step in a group to prevent value suddenly changing while affecting other segments.
    • Only save on button release to reduce strain on flash and interruptions while adjusting button+control params.
    • Remove codebook from quantizer to reduce memory usage.
    • Make sure looping yellow segments track correct value when used in a multi-module group. #38
    • Ensure changing loop status triggers a save. #33
    • Lots of optimizations

Stages bipolar multi-mode firmware v1.1.0

This is an unofficial firmware for Mutable Instruments Stages. It was originally created by joeSeggiola and started as a modification to let you enter and exit the "Ouroboros" mode (the harmonic oscillator easter egg) at runtime, while the module is powered on. Then, it evolved adding the ability to sequence harmonic ratios, enable slower free-running LFOs and providing a completely alternative mode that transforms the module into six identical DAHDSR envelope generators.

This fork adds the following to segment generator mode:

  • Bipolar LFOs, steps, and holds: Toggle a segment's polarity by holding its button and wiggling its pot
  • Very-slow and audio-rate LFOs: Change an LFO's frequency range by holding its button and moving its slider to top, middle, or bottom
  • Re-trigger control: hold a ramp segment's button and wiggle its pot to toggle re-trigger behavior; this allows for DUSG/Maths-style clock dividers, subharmonic generators, and more!
  • Fast and slow envelopes: Change the range of a ramp's slider by holding its button and move the slider to top, middle, or bottom
  • Arbitrarily slow clocked LFOs and improved audio-rate clocked LFOs
  • Hold and step segment quantization: Hold button and move slider to select scale; slider transposes within key, allowing selection of mode
  • Start and end value tracking for ramp segments: This can be used as a kind of VCA or crossfader

See segment generator mode's usage instructions for details. None of these features interfere with the normal workflow of Stages.

This fork also adds a new mode, advanced segment generator, which adds

  • Random segment type: A fourth type of segment, which gives access to four different random/chaotic algorithms:
    • Uniform random CV (single, non-looping, non-gated)
    • Double-scroll attractor, a smooth chaotic system similar to the Lorenz system (single, looping, non-gated)
    • Emulation of Tom Whitwell's Turing Machine (non-looping, gated)
    • Logistic map, a discrete chaotic system (single, looping, gated)
  • Slew with independent rise and fall times: Single, non-gated, non-looping ramp (green) segments slew with independent rise and fall: CV is target value, pot is rise, and slider is fall; this can be used as an AR envelope or an envelope follower as well
    • Unipolar and bipolar mode: applies full-wave rectification to incoming signal in unipolar mode for optimal use as an envelope follower
  • Probabilistic gates: A single, looping, gated red segment's pot now controls its probability of firing, giving you a mini-branches (the pot used to do nothing in this case)
  • Attenuverter segments: Single, looping step (yellow) segments attenuate instead of slew. Non-looping still slew, so no functionality is lost.

Finally, this fork allows you to control the frequency range of the harmonic oscillator mode (aka ouroboros mode; the Stages easter egg), giving access to 6 harmonically related LFOs.

See the cheatsheet for a list of all module controls, including built-in ones.

This fork includes the changes in official firmware 1.1 as well as the extended sequencer official firmware.

This firmware should fully support chained modules! See multi-mode usage.

Check out this great video overview of the fork as well as of the extended sequencer by Peakae (does not include v1.1.0 updates):

IMPORTANT WHEN INSTALLING A DIFFERENT FIRMWARE: If you install a different firmware after this one, make sure that no segments are on the random segment type, as your module could continuously restart after installation if you a random segment was present.
If this does happen, don't panic: just re-install this firmware, go and change the random segments to something else, and try again.

Turning the module off and on again should restore functionality. This happens because this fork expands the amount of data stored for each segment, so will be incompatible with the settings stored from a different firmware. If you encounter problems, please let me know, either in a GitHub issue or otherwise.

A fork of joeSeggiola's absolutely wonderful multi-mode firmware for Stages. This fork adds:

  • Polarity control for each segment type (including bipolar LFOs)
  • Re-trigger behavior control for ramp segments
  • Independent LFO (clocked and free) range control for each segment
  • Arbitrarily slow clocked LFOs
  • Track & hold support

Please see usage instructions for how to access these features.

To update, download the WAV file below and follow standard firmware installation procedure.

IMPORTANT: Installation will clear the module settings if coming from a different firmware. Right after updating from an earlier version of this fork, the stock Stages firmware or joeSeggiola's version, Stages may continuously cycle between green, orange, and red LEDs. Turning the module off and on again should restore functionality. This happens because this fork expands the amount of data stored for each segment, so will be incompatible with the settings stored from a different firmware.

A fork of joeSeggiola's absolutely wonderful multi-mode firmware for Stages. This fork:

  • Adds bipolar mode for each segment type
  • Adds ability to disable re-triggering on ramp segments
  • Changes Slow-LFO mode to restore v/oct tracking while increasing the range of the slider from 8 minutes to C1 (the original high-end)

Bipolar and trigger control are incorporated into the normal sequence of segment types and are indicated by the dimmed LED.
