Hello , Can you please remind me how to work out which firmware version I have on my shruthi and which version I need to use performance mode. Where can I download it and how do I access the performance page .
Is there a downloadable link to an older version of the manual ?
Thanks in advance :)
This is for Andre’s stereo shruthi, firmware .97: I have to kick open the filter with a MIDI note even when the ‘not’ to ‘cut’ amount is set to -63 in the modulation matrix…is there a way to make it so all control (all the way open / closed) is via the knobs?
I am sending an audio signal into the shruthi and want to use it strictly as a filter and noise source.
What it can do:
Known issues:
19.04.2015: The new version finally supports the latest firmware versions and all filter boards.
28.04.2015: Version 0.22 adds a sequence editor.
18.05.2015: Version 0.23 adds a patch/sequence library.
17.06.2015: Version 0.24 fixes a rare crash and some internal issues.
19.10.2015: Version 1.00 fixes the OS X build problem and some internal stuff.

Please provide feedback if you use the editor: Does it work? What doesn’t work? If possible include operation system, Shruthi firmware version and connected filter board.
I’m not able to provide up-to-date Mac OS X binaries, because I don’t have access to a computer that uses it.
The Mac OS X binaries for the previous version and more informations (e.g. why I don’t provide Linux binaries) can be found on the releases page on github.
Informations about compiling are in the README. If you want to know anything else, please read the README, too.
Have fun.
Some general troubleshooting instructions:
Changes: At the bottom of the README file on Github.
I’m able to reliably reproduce this on a modded Shruthi 4PM with CV inputs for cutoff/res/vca with firmware 1.01. This is with no MIDI connections:
Turn on Shruthi which goes to default init patch, go to Filter page, turn Cutoff to 0, play note (i.e. send CV envelopes to cutoff/vca with ext. audio to input), go to mod matrix route LFO1> cutoff in slot 1, turn amount to 63 and there is no modulation. I can do all the above and set cutoff to 1 instead, and it (LFO1>cutoff) works. When the problem happens, if I manually open the gate (hold encoder) the modulation kicks in and stays on even when I turn it off. Using the default LFO2>Cutoff routing on the Filter page is not affected.
Just curious if this was by design? Otherwise, using the unit in ‘full analog’/no MIDI with CV and modular VCOs is awesome. The input overdrives so wonderfully.
I had a look and did not find a discussion for this, if there is already one I apologise and please post the link, but if there is not already a discussion then which is your favourite? Interested to know why too ;)
I’m sending LFO1, via the Modulation Matrix, to CV1. There is no Operator applied to it but when I filter it, via a simple first order low pass filter, I only get the top half of the waveform as though it has been half-wave rectified. I’ve checked the external filtering circuitry and this is performing satisfactorily.
I would have thought the LFO waveform would have swung around a half f.s.d. value.
Is this normal or am I missing something?
Hello,
I finished my shurthi_xt with the 4pole filter and standart mk2, started playing around a bit, I love the randomizer to find different instentanious sounds , didnt quite my way into the arp step or seq setting, but playing around a lot with my midikeyboard and the arpeggiator.
My keyboard has not quite a good ability to do step sequencing notes to midi out, so I did wanna use my korg esx 1 for that purpose.
Now the shruthi is working, but I do not get the arpeggiator to correctly work the way i want it to, I would love the arp to work exactly in the midi clock out speed, since then everything is in tact.
But the damn thing doesnt put out anythign when put in external clock speed mode, when I set a bpm directyl it kinda does work.
I assume the korg puts out different note information than my midikeyboard, which probably has the full things, from velocity and everything, while the korg just puts out note on and off, thats what i guess.
So anyone got that issue as well, or does it work with your settings, or do I have some brain bugs and it simply should work the way i was telling?
Thanks for your advice in advance.
cheers
Does anybody know whether or not the LP-2 is compatible with the Sidekick control board? I noticed that on the assembly instructions for the Lp-2 it says, “The Shruthi-1 control board needs to send specific digital control signals to drive this filter board.”
Am I correct for assuming this will not compatible?
Thanks
Hi,
I had a simple Shruthi 1 SMR4 until today (OS 0.97), and I have purchased a Shruthi1 SMR4 mk2 Wasp Edition. The OS is 1.02 on this new Shruthi.
I can hear something wrong to my ears: the filter on the wasp edition seem to have a “stepping” action when I turn the cutoff filter quite fast. When I turn it slowly, that’s ok, but when I turn it to fast, it behaves as if the refreshing clock for parameter was to slow. Any idea? Any parameter to tweak? I have adjusted MIDI setting to the most simple settings in order to save processing power.
Another problem: on my first Shruthi, I could select Sequence patterns with S6 button. On this new wasp edition, pushing S6 has no action on sequence and put me back in program mode.
Any idea? Thanks for helping me…
Hi, just joined, quick help question. I have v0.96, can I up date it via midi? Or how do I do it if not? Thanks.
Hi to all @ Mutable Instrument
I have question.
So please write witch filter board you will chose from this selection:
01. LP2+Delay, the combination of a MS-20 LPF and a low-fi digital delay.
02. 4-Pole Mission, a 4-pole multimode filter inspired by the Oberheim Xpander.
03. Dual SVF, the combination of two multimode 2-pole filters – in series or parallel.
04. Polivoks filter.
05. FX/Digital filter board – a nasty, crunchy, digital LPF/HPF and FX section.
06. SMR4 filter board (predecessor of the SMR4 mkII).
My selection is 4-Pole Mission or Polivorks.
What about your selection? Thank you!
I have a big problem. :(
I found on GITHUB Filters PCBs in *.brd *.sch
(https://github.com/pichenettes/shruthi-1)
But i cannot MAIN SHRUTHI PCB in *.brd format :-(
(There is XT version, but i need “cllasic small”)
Frankly i don’t know if exist PCB version higher than 0.7 ?
Please help me, write me where to find MAIN PCB in *.brd *.sch file.
Filters i found all :-)
You cannot understand how much that mean to me, i always wont to create DIY synth
But SHRUTHI is mega synth in small box capable anything wit only 1 note polyphony
(i don’t need more :)
Thank you for your time.
I can’t seem to find a link to download the default Shruthi patch bank on the Mutable Instruments site. Would someone please be so kind as to post it here.
Thanks!
Hello folks!
I’m having some trouble uploading patches to the shruthi.. I could not find anywhere elektron C6 to download (probably not supported anymore) so I tried sending the sysex files I found on the “patch sharing area” with midi-OX but on the display I always got the “#”.. even changing delays to 250-300-400ms.
I downloaded “shruthi editor 1.03” and It works well when sending and receiving controls from the shruthi, but when I try “load program” it says “could not load patch and sequence”, for all the syx file I got.
What should I do? Is there someone who has an old elektron C6 installer (win) to share?
I even updated to firmware 1.02 but nothing changes.. in fact to me it seems even more complicate, since patches and sequences are all toghether.
Is it still possible uploading a syx file containing only the patch or the sequence?
When the shruthi receives a new patch/patch+sequence does it store it automatically on the first free bank? (17, for instance?) Or do I get only the “parameters set” and then have I to save them manually setting name and position?
Thank you all very much,
Marco
I have done a major code cleanup and released the Shreditor under MIT license.
From the changelog:
1.0
—————————-
I am not actively developing the Shreditor anymore but I felt bad for not releasing it after putting so much work in it. I am hoping this way it inspires someone to continue to improve it or borrow parts to build other cool stuff.
I was planning to create a Max4Live device, and came a long way but eventually abandoned it. With this 1.0 version dropping the dependency on RtMidi it should be fairly easy to create a M4L version. You can use the vx.shruthi object, copy the core patchers and leave out any parts which require sysex (because that is not supported in M4L).
Some people reported that they couldn’t get the Shreditor to validate their device firmware, but I haven’t been able to reproduce it. I have tested this with v1.01 and the latest official v1.02.
You can find everything here
https://github.com/0x80/shreditor
The prebuilt binaries for OSX and Window are located here:
https://github.com/0x80/shreditor/releases
Enjoy!

Hello,
I’m trying to change the seq’s tempo in Pure data, and if I’m right there is no CC number for it, so I must do it with NRPN. I tried with this patch : http://noisybox.net/pd/nrpn_out.pd. No result.
Maybe someone have a good tip to achieve that?
Or maybe there is a Pure data patch for all the Shruthi’s parameters? I couldn’t find any.
Thanks for any advice :)
Help! New to this device and I’m really struggling with how to set the midi channel. I’ve read and re read the manual to no avail, is there a simple step by step guide I can get? Thanks in advance.
Is there any way of internally randomising the tempo of the Step Sequencer in Shruthi? This is to give the (in)famous West Coast randomness to the tempo sequences while maintaining note pitches.
Many thanks
