UPDATING YOUR MANTHER

Manther firmware will be periodically updated. These updates are delivered to Manther via the GATE input as packets of data 

included in a .wav audio file. 

INSTRUCTIONS TO UPDATE:

1. Download the latest fimrware update from the Malekko site to your computer or even your phone.
2. Power down the Manther.
3. Connect a 3.5mm cable from the audio source (audio interface or phone) to the Manther GATE input jack. Turn the volume of your 

sound source to max output.  NOTE: If you are connecting to your phone, make sure you are in airplane mode and no other sounds 

will occur during the update or you will receive errors.  If you are connecting to an audio source on your computer, you will need to 

should connect directly from an audio interface with more gain control (going directly out from a 3.5mm output jack on your 

computer might not be loud enough and you will receive errors).
4. Now hold down the 16th step button while powering up.

5. You will now see the following screen info and once you do release the 16th step button:

6. MAKE SURE YOU DON’T HAVE YOUR SPEAKERS TURNED UP  as the file is very loud! You can now play the .wav file.  If you 

interrupt the audio in any way and see errors, you will need to start over (power down and perform steps 3-8). 
7. Once Manther is receiving the new firmware correctly you will see the following information:

8. Once the screen stops receiving all packets (packet total will be listed with the firmware download), unplug the 3.5mm cable and 

restart.  You now have the latest firmware installed and will see the new version under MENU > ABOUT. If you do receive errors, don’t 

worry you won’t brick your unit. You likely just need to boost the output of your sound source, reseat your cable connection and try 

again (power down and perform steps 3-8).
