Firmware Update
Firmware updates may be made available periodically to
address new features or fix reported problems. You can
perform the update using any MIDI device capable of playing
back a downloaded MIDI SysEx data file.
You can run the firmware updater file using any computer
equipped with a MIDI interface. In Windows, the default
.MID player (such as Windows Media Player) works if the
correct MIDI output is selected in Control Panel > Sounds
and Audio Devices > Audio > MIDI Music Playback. Refer
to your MIDI software or interface instructions.

TIP: Memory locations in the transmitting device can be
stored to any Memory location in the receiving device. For
example, the screens to store Memory location 1 from the
transmitting device to Memory location 3 in the receiving
device (so as not to overwrite Memory 1 in the receiving
device) would be as follows:
Transmitting MM 42:
MIDI | MODE MEMORY
TRANSFR| SEND 1 SEND
Receiving MM 42:
MIDI | MODE MEMORY
TRANSFR| RECEIVE 3 RECEIVE
Backing up Memories to a PC or other MIDI Device

not
set to off.
1. Connect the MIDI OUT of the transmitting MM 42 to the
MIDI IN of the receiving MIDI device.
2. Place the receiving device into “record” or “receive” mode.
Memories are stored as MIDI System Exclusive (SysEx)
data, so be sure to turn off any SysEx filters that may be in
place during record or playback. Consult the Owner’s
