firmware

installing this firmware will overwrite your existing scenes! back up your scenes using a USB flash drive and make sure to rename files before restoring. this is a beta version, after flashing you will be prompted to press the button to initialize teletype - make sure to do so. update procedure: http://monome.org/docs/modular/update
