Valon 5015 Downloads
If you are already using the 5015 you will want to check here for updates and download the latest version of the .bin file. We also list any bugs we know about and invite your feedback.
Valon 5015 Quickstart.pdf is always a good place to start.
Valon 5015 Operations Manual 5015 Synthesizer complete operations manual including specification, commands, and additional mechanical and electrical information.
Terminal Program 5000term.exe (unzip) is our terminal program for sending commands to the synthesizer if you don't have or want to use our GUI. Other terminal programs such as Tera Term and PuTTy will also work well. To launch 5000term.exe just open a DOS command window and type: "5000term". You should see a connection message "Using 9600 baud". Type: "help" to get the list of available commands.
Use 5000term.exe to also update your synthesizer with new firmware version *.bin files as they become available. To update your synthesizer, follow these simple instructions:

Use 5000term.exe to also update your synthesizer with new firmware version *.bin files as they become available. To update your synthesizer, follow these simple instructions:
- If you haven't already done so, download and unzip the 5000term.zip file to create the 5000term.exe. You may have to turn off your computer security momentarily as most anti-virus protection programs will delete .exe files.
- Request the .bin file (from the link below) and place it in the same subdirectory that you have the 5009term.exe program.
- Open a DOS window to run 5000term followed by a single space and then the name of the .bin file exactly as shown in this example. Example: c:\files\Valon\5000term 5015_20160520.bin
- Now type: "CNTL-L" to load the new firmware. You will immediately see the loading progress in the DOS window.
