LIQUID-FOOT PRO SERIES MIDI FOOT CONTROLLER
The Liquid-Foot will turn on and automatically place you at the location you last used the unit
before power was turned off. Default is Preset mode in slot 000 and should look as follows:
Preset Slot #
Preset Name
LOADING NEW FIRMWARE
From time to time new software, features and functions are made available via a firmware
update. There are several ways to load the new firmware. In normal operation, make sure the
unit is in Preset mode and not in the Menu system.
Use a software program that can send Sysex, such as the Liquid-Foot PC/MAC Editor, or a MIDI
utility such as MIDIOX for the PC as a way to send the firmware to the Liquid-Foot. Make sure
the Sysex ID of the Liquid-Foot is at its default of 127. Set it back to 127 if you changed it. Insure
the MIDI-In cable is properly connected to the Computer.
Suggested MIDI SYSEX settings for software are either 256 buffers, 256 bytes, 40ms delay
between buffers. Or 1024 buffers, 1024 bytes, 70ms delay between buffers. Send the file to the
Liquid-Foot.
If it’s a valid firmware file for your device- the screen will tell you its doing a Firmware Load, and
to please wait. Once the entire firmware file is loaded, the screen will count from 0 to 100 (or
less). DO NOT TURN OFF THE POWER. DOING SO CAN DAMAGE THE LIQUID-FOOT and make it
inoperable without technical support or servicing.
Once the firmware is loaded, the Liquid-Foot will automatically reset itself. Please watch the
display and insure the proper firmware version is displayed as the controller resets.
Common Error: FL-100-xxx-xxx-xxx. This typically means that the data is not being sent to the
Liquid-Foot fast enough and it considers the data corrupt or questionable. Shorten the delay
between buffers, or increase the data transmit speed of the software sending the Firmware file.
