Updating the Little deFormer firmware

IMPORTANT: Before you update your Little deFormer firmware, please
perform a SRAM test, as described on page 54. If your Little deFormer fails the
SRAM test, you should not perform the firmware update, but ship it in for
service first.

Occasionally there will be firmware updates available at:

http://www.gotharman.dk/deformer.htm

These will be bug fixes or adding of additional functions or effects, so it might be a good idea
getting familiar with, how to update the firmware of your Little deFormer.

You will need:
-Your Little deFormer
-A computer with internet connection
-A MIDI interface connected to your computer
-A MIDI cable

1. Go to the abovementioned deFormer website, and download the latest firmware to your
computer. The firmware will usually consist of 2 files, named t.ex:

ldefd1_268.syx
and
ldefd2_135.syx

2. If you haven’t done it already, go to:

http://www.midiox.com/

and download the free MIDI utility program MIDI-OX. And please donate, if you feel like.
It is probably also possible to use other programs that supports .syx files, but the Little deFormer
firmware updates has been created using MIDI-OX, so this program is for sure the one that will
work best.

3. Install MIDI-OX on your computer. You shall be very welcome to skip this step, if you have
already done this.
