Poly Effects

We've been busy building Kanso units. Your local dealer should have stock or be getting units very soon!

If you're not already on Firmware 407 for Beebo & Hector it is up now. I'm happy that people are still interested in Beebo, it's been a while since I first showed it in 2018. In the photo you can see 3 eras of Beebo running the latest firmware. We haven't been selling Beebos for the last few years after parts availability became an issue but we're keen to keep them going.

The key issue this update fixes is with file system degradation over time. Due to some quantum space magic called read disturb, a read only file system will change after you’ve read it enough times. This happens after 4-7 years with Beebo, so this suddenly became a major (and amazingly hard to fix) issue. This fix swaps to a filesystem that can cope with this and automatically heals itself. The main symptom of the problem is Beebo / Hector not starting up.

We're also busy making a ton of Kanso units!
