32. How can I check which firmware version is installed on the Sound
Module?

Select  the  option    MENU->  SYSTEM  ->  SW_REVISION.  The  following  messages  will
appear (the data below are just examples):

Then we will see the firmware versions of each instrument connected to the rack system:

(snare version =5)

HIHAT 5

(hi hat version = 5)

etc..
