My impression is that 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 should work just fine without mod, and 1.3 needs the mod. Is this a correct assumption?

Shawn,
Your assumption is correct. I asked what the differences were from 1.0 to 1.1 and 1.2 and no one really knew (of course I should have asked Behringer). No one noticed a difference either at any rate.
I'm betting that any changes affected the original target audience (PA system guys who needed to kill feedback issues)
That being said, it seems the chances of finding anything but 1.3 in the stores is pretty **** low. YOu'd have to find a place that did not move a lot of stock to find the older versions.

Shawn, if you absolutely need the filters working via midi then do as others suggest and contact Behringer. Other than midi, my 1.3 chipped 124 works just fine.

arrived in the mail today. took 5 mins to open up, scrape the glue off and put the chip in before.

if you haven't done this before, make sure you look for the notch on the eprom so you orient it the right way, and make sure you straighten up the pins so it lines up in the sockets.

I really appreciate the terrific customer service from behringer. wish all companies had service like that.

Wow...I just saw this thread. I have a 1124p that I have had for a bit but never got around to setting it up. I started to play with it this weekend and found this thread. I aways planned on using the midi support so I quickly checked my version after reading through all the comments.

It turns out mine is version 1.0. The production date of the unit seems to be Feb '05. I was hoping for version 1.2 just so I wouldn't have to go the extra steps. However, now I wonder if sticking with version 1.0 is just as bad. It may have the midi support bur what else might they have fixed from 1.0 to 1.4.

Same here. Just got e-mail yesterday saying the 1.4 chip is in the mail:jump:

I posted mine on Sunday evening (6/4/07), four days later and still no reply. I'll wait another day before I ping them gently for a response.

I requested my revised Eprom a little over 3 weeks ago from Behringer Tech Support. Behringer Customer Service was very prompt to reply but it appears the Eprom will not be available for 6-8 weeks. It would appear they were not ready for the rush of requests on this issue. They did refer me to a place where I could "buy" the Eprom. They apparently were serious.

Making a customer wait 6-8 weeks for correction of a quality issue as simple as an Eprom is not good....

Anyone else having this problem or have you been able to get the Eprom via some other way?

 

[Lucky7!]

...and they're in stock again. woot.

Dear Ward,

We finally received the V1.4 EPROMS for the DSP1124P. We will mail it to the following address.

 

[Testpattern]

I've been working with Behringer for over three weeks concerning them supplying a corrected Eprom. They're telling me 6-8 weeks. Or I could go to someone and pay them to burn an Eprom....

What a bunch of **.... it's their problem but they appear really laid back about doing anything about it.

I am ver. 1.0 should I leave it alone or upgrade ?
I am just getting into this so have a major learning curve ...
Just wondering if I need to upgrade to 1.4 I will be using midi when I get that figured out. My take on this thread is I am OK as is ..... that only if I went or had 1.3 I would need the upgrade.

I will be going with a 2496 some day though as I only need the two presets

I will use a house curve and a flat one and use bypass

Hello: I just bought a DSP1124p. How do I find out what version of firmware I have?

Thanks

I believe Post #68 of this thread has the answer, and I'm sure it's higher up in the thread as well.

Hi Otto: I feel like a cub being lead by his Boy Scout Leaders (You, Sony & Wayne), but I sure do appreciate it. I read the recommended post, and since I bought the BFD on-line, I guess I'm in store for a surprise.

Thanks

Hello, I just purchased the BFD 1124P and a MIDI from Zzound on line( 8/13/09) what are the odds that it`s version 1.3 ? Hope not good , I use to be good with an iron ( still have a complete soldering work station) , but that was a long time ago and before my accident .

 

[brucek]

what are the odds that it`s version 1.3 ?

To see what firmware version a BFD uses, power up the unit while holding down the Filter Select button and read the Version # displayed.

[flamingeye]

OK thank`s , I should of said ( do any of the BFD 1124P`s have the 1.4 installed ) or where they discontinued before they had the (1.4) ,sorry I have a tendency to ask things in a really round a bout way

 

[brucek]

Most of the 1124's would be V1.4, unless it's really old stock.

 

[flamingeye]

Cool, Thank you !! I`m really new to all this and trying to get a grasp on what I`m getting myself into ,again thank`s

Also note the REW information Index and the Download Page.
