GFI System posted a firmware update history document for the Specular Tempus on its downloads page, dated October 24, 20251. The listing carries no notes describing its contents1.
The document sits alongside the pedal's other downloads: the Specular Tempus Algorithm Reference, dated Aug 02, 2018; the v3.8 Release Note, the Specular Tempus Quickstart Guide (v3.8) and the Specular Tempus User Manual v3.8, all dated Aug 01, 20181.
The page also sets out the update procedure. It lists the editor software SpecLab, current version v3.4.10, and a firmware file with the .fdt extension1. To enter update mode, the page says:
"Hold down both footswitches while applying power to the pedal, wait until both LED A and B stay On (the LCD should be blank at this point)."
The remaining steps are to connect the pedal to a computer, start the editor software, click "Browse for firmware file," select the .fdt file and click "Update Now," then reboot the pedal1.
The page carries a warning for pedals on older firmware:
"If your pedal still runs on a firmware that is lower than v3.0 please contact us. Do not attempt to update to v3.8 directly!"
The page gives no price or availability information for the pedal1.
