Community developers are writing their own custom firmware, also called alternative firmware, for the Rings. This is a selection, not every fork or experiment: we list the projects with a working build and a real following, and check them every day. FW Radar doesn’t host these files and doesn’t send alerts for their versions: each link opens the developer’s page.
Adds Mini-Elements modes with the bow, blow and strike exciters from Elements, frequency lock, alternate chord tables, hold on strum for polyphonic patches and a basic waveform on the EVEN output, all set from a menu.
Runs at 32 kHz instead of 48 kHz. Copies downloaded before 27 February 2022 cannot reach calibration: download it again.

Official Rings firmware with an easier way in and out of the Disastrous Peace easter egg: a long press of the mode button from an alternate mode.
Mutable Instruments (closed 2022) does not support alternate firmware. Install by playing the .wav into the module; to go back, install the official .wav the same way.

The Mutable Instruments Rings is no longer made, but Mutable Instruments can still ship firmware for it and we keep checking the official download page. One message per release. No spam, no newsletter.

It’s written by independent developers, not by Mutable Instruments. Some projects are stable, others are early betas: read each developer’s notes before you flash.
Yes: load the official 1.1, as described in the official update guide.
We pick the ones worth trying: a build you can install and a real following, from GitHub stars and downloads or from the community. Forks that only rename a project or add a few presets stay out, and brand-new projects get a second look after their first week.
We note the latest version each developer has published when we check the list, every day, but we don’t send alerts for it: alerts are only for official Mutable Instruments firmware.
