I produced two youtube videos explaining the update procedure (PC and MAC versions). The update includes a new bootloader version as well. Like described in the videos - you need to install the bootloader first and the firmware afterwards.

The update can be downloaded from the download section:

ACCELERATOR Update procedure MAC OSX

Published on May 26, 2014

"This video shows in three steps:
1.) Starting the Accelerator in Bootloader mode
2.) Updating the boot loader
3.) Updating the firmware.

Not all updates involve a boot loader update. Just skip step 2 if no boot loader update is necessary. But please always do a boot loader update if your ACCs version is below the latest published version. The firmware has been tested with the latest boot loader version!"

Modulus CS80 Inspired Soundscape

"A little improvisation done with our new Modulus 002. One pass, no overdubs, just a bit of delay. Very much a CS80-inspired sound, programmed by Richard Lacy and Sarah MacDonald."

Nature - Oscillator

Published on Aug 13, 2014 Alexander Zolotov

"The world around us is an endless source of visual information, the flow of the fractal code of life. Nature - Oscillator is one of the attempts to translate this code to sound, using spectral synthesis algorithm of the Virtual ANS engine (software simulator of the unique Russian synthesizer ANS). The program continuously reads the image from the camera and interprets it as the spectrum of the sound.

Casio VA10 demo track

Published on Aug 13, 2014 ikworgek

"Track made with only the casio VA10 keyboard
all sounds and effects from the casio
No external effects used
no circuitbending

main features:

32 mid size keys
stereo (effects stereophonize the initially mono keyboard and microphone sounds)
2 cheap, hissy and bassless built-in speakers
uncomfortable headphone- style microphone
6 voice polyphony
100 preset sounds
12 preset rhythms (they contain no chords)
monophonic microphone input
59 built-in preset effect combinations, each consist of 1 or 2 combined basic effects
9 effect memory user presets
pseudo- vocoder (envelope follower)
"pitch sensor" sing- to- note converter which shall permit to play keyboard notes by singing, but it is almost unusable because it works only reliable within about 1 octave and otherwise randomly jumps to wrong octaves.(wich can be nice for experiments)
5 drum pads, switchable by 3 buttons to play 2 drum kit (A=normal, B= synth toms/sirens) or as effect intensity controls
record/ playback sequencer
"harmony arranger" (some kind of chord sequencer?)
The PCM sound generator corresponds to Casio SA series instruments. It synthesizes each preset sound by a combination of 2 mixed wavetable samples with different complex envelopes.
6 fusion/ synth pop demo tunes"

MFB Kraftzwerg MkII + Vermona Filter Lancet

Published on Aug 13, 2014 Seen From Space

"A more epic sound than I would normally use, but it's early days with these 2 boxes! A nice Berlin School bass sequence, as befits the German origin of both.

Pulse width and cutoff are modulated by the Kraftzwerg's LFOs. The Lancet is patched after the Kraftzwerg's VCF as a second filter, then back in to the VCA. The Lancet is in hi-pass mode with some resonance and an LFO sweep.

MIDI sequence in Logic. Backing track is some bespoke sounds in Omnisphere. Boss GT10 provides the pan, chorus, delay, reverb."
