The Haken Audio ContinuuMini is no longer made, but Haken Audio can still ship firmware for it and we keep checking the official download page. One message per release. No spam, no newsletter.
Save any User Presets you created before you start. Download the Haken Editor for Mac or PC from the Haken Audio firmware page; the firmware is included with the Editor. Connect the ContinuuMini directly to the computer by USB (no hub), launch the Haken Editor and wait until the virtual LED in the upper left of the Editor is blue. Open Cogwheel Menu > Midi and Global Settings, click Update Firmware and choose Load Update File 1; when the Editor shows the new firmware version, choose Update Firmware > Load Update File 2 and wait until the LED is solid blue again. If the download instructions say so for your current firmware, also run Convolutions 1, Convolutions 2 and Finalize Mahling, then power-cycle. The update takes about 20 minutes; if the playing surface behaves erratically afterwards, recalibrate it.
