Software Update

Should it ever be necessary to update the software of midiBeam, e.g. to fulfil

wishes of users with new features, and make it available for earlier users too,
the   software   of   both   midiBeam   devices   can   be   updated   through   their

appropriate MIDI IN. Any software update file can be found on the web page of
Panda-Audio, either as a 

*.bin

 file for 

midiBeamTool.exe

, or as a 

*.mid

file,   embedded   in   a   System   Exclusive   package.   Just   like   in   case   of   the
parameter update, you need a computer with a MIDI interface, but in opposite

to   that,   it   is   only   the   appropriate   device   to   be   updated   that   has   to   be
connected to it, the other one is disregarded. 
If you want to update TX02 then do the following:

1. Connect the MIDI OUT of the computer interface to the DIN plug of TX02.

2. Keep   the   pushbutton   on   TX02   pressed   while   you   turn   on   the   power

switch. The LED will stay dark.

3. Start the update dump.
4. At the end of the dump the LED will start to blink quickly. Turn it off and

turn it on again.

If you want to update RX02 then do the following:

1. Connect the MIDI OUT of the computer interface to the MIDI IN socket of

RX02.

2. Keep the pushbutton on RX02 pressed while you apply power through

USB. The LED will stay dark.

3. Start the update dump.
4. At the end of the dump the LED will start to blink quickly. Turn it off and

turn it on again.
