12. Updating Firmware
The day may come you want to update your edition or try out another. Your Synth Programmer offers a
firmware update mode for this. After entering this mode you just send a firmware-file into the controllers Midi IN
2 jack. The firmwares in SysEx-format are all compatible with your Programmer and freely available on our
website. You can dump them with any standard SysEx dump tool of which several are available as freeware for
different operating systems. An exmaple for PC is 'MidiOX', for the Mac you could use 'SysEx Librarian'.
The technical part:
•
Switch off the Stereoping Programmer
•
Connect
MIDI OUT
of your Midi-Interface directly to the jack
MIDI 2 IN
of the Programmers using a short
cable of good quality
•
There are some preferences in most SysEx-Dump Programs like 'Delay between Buffers' or 'Delay after
F7'. Please choose something around 100mS (Milliseconds) here.
•
Hold MOD and power up your Programmer. The Display should read 'BOOTLOADER'
•
Load the new Firmware into your SysEx-Dump Program and send it out
•
The display shows OS-Version and progresst. After about 2 minutes the Programmer restarts
•
If you will get an error on the screen please try another cable or increase the delay mentioned above.
The firmware update erases all E-Patches!
