FIRMWARE UPDATE PROCEDURE

Power on your modular system with Yarns’ encoder pressed. The first character of the display will show a
“snake” pattern. Yarns is now waiting for a SysEx data transfer on its MIDI input port.

The SysEx data needs to be sent with a delay of at least 100ms between packets. As packets are received,
the number on the screen is updated, indicating the total amount of data, in kilobytes, received. The firmware
contains between 64 and 100 packets.

Once the last packet has been received, OK is displayed, and the unit restart after one second.

In case of a transmission error, the display shows Er and you have to restart the transmission. Try increasing
the delay between bytes and/or the delay between packets - some MIDI interfaces have rather small buffers
and choke on large blocks of SysEx data. We recommend Elektron’s C6 tool (available for both Windows and
OS X) or Snoize SysEx Librarian.
