At the end of the process, which should take less than a minute, “Update
successful!” will be shown and the LED will go back to blinking slowly.

If there is a problem during the update the Editor Suite will display “Error!” and
the update will be stopped - the LED might be on, off or blinking quickly.

After a successful update, power the FI off and on again. Check that the version
number which appears on the display is the same as the number of the update file.
You can now start to use the FI.

If the update was unsuccessful then see the section on

Firmware Update Failure

Important:

If you update your FI’s firmware to v3.60 from a pre-v3 version then the

Tune Base will not be at 440 Hz and so the Tuner will show “incorrect” pitch values.
You must reset the Tune Base. You can do this by performing a RESET ALL.
Alternatively,

if you do not want to lose any program settings

made with the

PARAMETER and EDIT dials, you can manually set the Tune Base to 440 Hz (or any
other desired value). (See the section on the

for how to do either of

these things.)

●

Convert All Programs from prg to pr3:

Converts an entire folder of older format

program files to the new v3 format. The new files will appear in the same folder.

4

●

Quit:

Closes the FI Editor Suite.

The Edit Menu

Here there are options to

Undo

or

Redo

any parameter changes made while editing a sound

in the Editor. The two functions can also be carried out by pressing

CTRL+Z

or

CTRL+Y

respectively.

Note:

The Edit Menu has no function when the Manager view is active.

4

Please see the final note of the

Accent

parameter description located near the end of the

section which concerns compatibility of .prg-format programs that use MIDI velocity information.
