Xone: DB4- the official unofficial thread

Well if it shipped with an old firmware that is a version behind the one that came before this latest release that could be a problem. I would just update the firmware or at least to the last one (not sure if it's on the website still, I can send it to you when I get home). But really you can just flash to the latest, only difference is you lose the ability to do the original killsend toggle mode which may not matter to you.

Cool will try this tomorrow will update to the new firmware , just check they have the older version as well so might try that first , what do I need a clean usb stick , do I need to format it ?

Yeah it needs to be a quality 4gb or less usb stick formatted fat32 with just the (extracted) firmware on it. USB sticks larger than 4gb or no name brands may not work. I use a 4GB Crucial for flashing.

A German Tutorial about the new software is available on youtube :

I toggle to killsend sometimes

I gotta experiment with send mode more but its just so much different that its probably a habitual choice that leads me to classic. I like it and will def play with it more.

I still haven't played with send mode yet, what exactly does it do?

I just watched the Andy C DB4 video on their website and it's rekindled my fascination with the DB4...

I'm now pretty much in the position you were at the beginning of this thread xonetacular haha!

send mode is the most important change to come in the firmware update. this allows the dry/wet control to feed the input of the effect engine as an aux send would on other mixing desks. the return of the effect engine output is straight to the master bus, so this results in the tails of delays and reverbs ringing out. the dry/wet knob as a send becomes a very expressive control, facilitating deep dub hits, swept delay voicings, and all sorts of other possibilities relative to how much you explore. get into it - there is a lot to discover. :-)
