There are instructions for this in the user's manual, but since it's a printed book it was a little difficult to insert a hot-link to the download file. So the link below is to compensate for that. Click the link below to download the Summit Restore File.
Summit Restore Software
This is different to the firmware updates in that it installs the Summit's operating system from scratch. This is done during the booting process (check the user's manual for instructions, it's all in there). If a firmware update fails, it may be necessary to perform the system restore from scratch before trying the firmware update again.
September 2010 Update: The restore method detailed in the user manual has been altered slightly since its publication. The Summit Restore file listed above will also include release notes that have new installation instructions included.

Firmware 1.10.13 Out Now!
The Summit firmware has been updated. The new firmware, in addition to the start-up menu previously mentioned on this blog, has a new DSP program for better performance. Not too shabby right?

Settings Recall Function
There's been a bit of firmware talk lately (both in the office and on this blog), and there's one new function that hasn't been mentioned, which may be of interest. With a new firmware update - coming soon, so this is a sneak peak - users will be given the option to load all of their previous settings (or not), directly after the initial restart. Take a look at the screen below.
Also, I haven't given you a look at this yet, but check out the 4 dynamic processor indicators on the current firmware version.
Basically those Gate, Expander, Compressor and Limiter indicators at the bottom there will light up any of those colors depending on the status of the dynamic process (that's already been discussed, so I won't bore you with details again!).

Another Summit Firmware Release!
Almost a week to the day, Phonic is uploading another brand new Firmware release. It's not the biggest of updates, but it's interesting none-the-less.
Basically the update is a few new indicators in the METER and FADERS menus. If you're in the channel tab, you'll be able to see 4 new indicators for each channel. There's one for each of the dynamic processors: Expander, Gate, Compressor and Limiter. We've included these just to give you a little idea what's going on.
So these indicators may be any one of three colors. Yellow means that the dynamic process is turned off, and blue means it's on. Red, on the otherhand, means the dynamic process has been tripped and is currently active.
We also updated the firmware so your settings will autosave approximately every 5 minutes, but that's not that big of a deal - particularly since you can just use the scenes function to save any time you like!

Firmware Download Link
The firmware discussed in a post a couple of days ago has been put on the website.
It can be downloaded here. Release notes and upgrade instructions have been included in the archive.
To extract the archive, you should only need to double click the file (whether or not you have an extraction program like winzip or winrar installed).

Summit Firmware Update
Phonic is releasing the first ever firmware update for the Summit today. While it will feature a lot of performance enhancements for the reverb effects and dynamic processors, it will also provide a few great new features.
The Summit now features a panning link function in the pair/link menu, enabling users to select individual, gang and inverse gang panning modes. Individual of course allows users to adjust panning independently, gang allows them to adjust two paired channels in unison, and inverse gang allows users to control two paired channels in unison but moving in opposite directions.
Perhaps most exciting change, however, is that the output delay function now features a scale/temperature tab. This menu will allow you to swap the adjustable delay parameter between time (milliseconds), meters, and feet. To make this setting more accurate, users are able to adjust the current temperature to better calculate the delay time by the meter and feet parameters.

Firmware Updates
Phonic will periodically put firmware updates on their website. These firmware updates will improve and expand features, as well as tweak any minor bugs that may be present.
Not that they expect any.
To perform a firmware upgrade, all a user needs to do is place the firmware update file on a blank, formated SD card and place that into the Summit's SD card slot. Go into the Setup menu and select the Update tab. Click Okay to begin and it should do all the work from there on (within about 2 minutes).
In the event that you accidentally turn the power off or otherwise do not complete the firmware installation, you can restore the unit to the factory default firmware with an appropriate restore file. This file is available in the software section of dc.phonic.com. To do so, you just need to put the restore file on an SD card and start the Summit up with the SD card inserted.
