The most recent firmware for the Vector Sequencer is 2.2.15. See the README file
included in the download for details on fixes and updates.
LAUNCHPAD USERS: You will have to update the firmware on your Launchpad via the Novation Components
website. Novation fixed a bug that was introduced last spring. Starting in Vector FW 2.2.8 I added a workaround.
Now that the bug is fixed, I've had to remove that workaround in Vector FW 2.2.15.

Vector Sequencer Firmware Update Instructions
• Download and un-zip the Vector firmware file (VECTOR.BIN.zip).
• Press and hold the Shift button while powering up the Vector to enter USB Disk mode.
• Use a USB ‘A to B’ cable to connect the Vector to your computer. After a few seconds, the SD Card for the Vector will show up as a new disk.
• Unzip VECTOR.BIN.zip. On a Mac, the Finder may do that for you. Do not double-click on VECTOR.BIN, which the Finder will try to de-compress into something not useful.
• Make sure the filename is exactly VECTOR.BIN, and copy it to the root directory of Vector’s SD Card – Delete
or move any previous VECTOR.BIN firmware files.
• Now is also a good time to backup your Vector's PROJECT directory.
• Unmount/Eject the Vector’s SD Card from your computer, and power off your eurorack system.
• Hold down the Rec button on the Vector while powering up your system.
• Press Next to load the new Firmware, which takes about 20 seconds.
• Verify the Firmware is the correct version in Globals -- first page, 2nd OLED, top-left corner.
