My appologies for the very late update, this page is quickly becoming very hard to manage in its current form and has been in need for a revamp for a long while. Request comments won't be published in an effort not to have a wall of peoples asking for random firmwares.* If somebody wanted to share it, it would get added. *Please, do not comment or e-mail asking for specific firmware. Huge thanks to Rasputin from VintageSynth forum for his help kickstarting this archive, Andreas Markusen along with Claudio ''SerialSinger'' Falcone for not only providing many synth dumps but also for his invaluable help finding out the numerous duplicate dumps that were cluttering the page! I am only sharing the dumps hoping that they will be useful to peoples. *Keep in mind that I do not own any of those Synth and can't test the data myself nor can I answer specific questions about them.
If you have access to any other chip dump, contact me! Also, if you have a synth with a firmware or sample chip you would like to have dumped and preserved, contact me and I will be happy to help out reading the chip content for you and share it on the page. I just haven't managed to find the time yet to do all this so bear with me as I figured that sharing the data was the main purpose of the page and that I better share what I have like this compared to wait to do it more properly and not share anything until. Things like standardization of the filenames, proper credit, better classification, proper database and more information about the chips used is currently lacking but I am planning to fix this in the future.
Now I understand that this page is pretty simple and lacks several things that would make it more professional and useful. This page became much more popular than I originally anticipated and seem to have quickly become the biggest vintage synthesizer firmware collection freely available online. This is my attempt at resolving the situation and making as many firmware dumps as possible freely available for everyone. Most of the time, if you are looking to upgrade or repair your favourite synth, you might find some firmware buried deep in synth forum's while some other seems to only be available by buying very overpriced preprogramed EPROM chip from sellers on eBay.
I noticed that firmware dump for vintage synth can be incredibly hard to come by unless you know exactly where to look.
