Performing MIDI Firmware Updates
The Bass Bot Firmware can be easily updated by MIDI as system updates are made available from the
Cyclone Analogic website. Use the Cyclone Studio application for PC or MAC to install this firmware using
the TT-303 Bass Bot’s MIDI Interface. The application will guide you through the firmware update
procedure.

Preparations for the update.
1.
Confirm if your unit requires an update according to the above revision history.
2.
Use the provided AC adapter only and not battery power.
3.
You may use the provided splitter cable or a standard MIDI cable to perform the update. Please
note that when using a standard MIDI cable and not the splitter cable. The Cyclone Studio app will not
‘find’ the Bass Bot. However, the one-way (MIDI OUT) connection be a useful means of trouble-shooting.

Download and install the Cyclone Studio app for PC or MAC and the update to apply.
Performing the update.
1.
Open the Cyclone Studio app and confirm the computer is detected with the MIDI device
displayed at the top of the application for MIDI IN and OUT. Your MIDI device is then detected.
2.
Click Firmware Update and locate the downloaded updated which has the extension
.tt303fw
.
3.
Power ON the Bass Bot while holding the [TAP / NEXT] key in which the [TIME] LED will
illuminate solid blue indicating to proceed. Whilst still holding the [TAP / NEXT] key click ‘Continue’ to
begin the update. The [DOWN] key LED on the Bass Bot will then begin flashing as the update is
downloading and you may release then the [TAP / NEXT] key. The application will show when finished.
If update doesn’t appear to have applied and your system boots to only the [TIME] LED illuminated blue.
Review the preparations for update as above and retry the update again. Should the problem persist try
re-seating the MIDI cable from your MIDI controller or try another controller, MIDI cable or computer.
