it worked, no issues, thanks for making my pamela better, she loves you

[markolehmann]

Love my pam, but why so complicated 🙄 for updating?

[BigNorthumbrian]

Just stumbled across this video a few days ago, I’d tried to update my Pams several times 2-3 years ago with no success, today I did it first

But seriously, I know I’m crap with computer stuff, but I’ve other modules that you just play a WAV file into them...much easier..😉

[roccoharris]

very clear & thorough vid. thanks bunches, ALM family!!

[hissquiet]

just bought one used in dec of 2022 and this update worked!

[julienfouquenet]

thank you ! great update for my pamela new workout, i'm playing with scale now ! very cool

[SleepofEons]

Incredibly easy and straightforward. Took 5 minutes and I have all the new features. Thank you🤘

[badbenjy]

A very Good walk through.
But surely in this day and age there should be an easier process for the end user?

[needlessmustard]

Typo aside, I’m glad you have the Mac version, that’s a lot to go through for Windows.

[escuroescuro]

With windows i had to download dfu util, dfu - sufix, dfu -prefix and libus-1.0.dll in order to make it work. Took me a lot of time to figure out, though. It seems like there isn't a standard
procedure

I updated my new PPW from 1.24 to 1.27 and now the external clock doesn't seem to track properly, especially at audio rates... What did I do wrong lol?

[juxthepatchboldsonmodular]

itied that way but Mac say no connection to device.. what up ?

[sliceofsparta]

Complicated process, but very well spelled out here! And THANK YOU for including a damn USB port on the side of the module. SOME companies, that I still love (cough Intellijel cough), make you buy a special cable to update firmware. Grrrr.

[igandribs]

Erm.. the latest Logic stuff is amazing. Instant 'call and answer' popping off everywhere.

[platon-mn]

i dont understood how to update pams in windows, its verty complicated

[walrtbstudios]

Hmm… even if I had a pc (which I do not) I doubt I would have the coding skills necessary here. Looks like my Pam’s will have to stick with whichever firmware it shipped with…

[mixolydian]

is there any other way of updating? I cannot get it to work i have followed your method exactly. I keep getting invalid dfu suffix signature, no dfu capable usb device available. Zadig worked as i can see stmbootloader. Any ideas what i have done wrong? Cheers

[lukecurran]

Having an issue: I run windows 7, when I click the drop down menu in Zadiq to select STM BOOTLOADER, its not there. Could this be because I'm on windows 7? Could it be caused by using a 'charge only' cable?

I also want to add that channel 8 on my module stopped working totally. That's why I originally wanted to update the firmware to hopefully resolve the issue. Then I learned that there are new features in the firmware updates, now i want the new firmware even more! hoping for some help.

Cheers

This should be made much simpler.
From a windows platform this seems like a pain in the arse.

I like the background music.

This does not work at all. I don't know if these instructions are out of date or not.
