Updating the Firmware
The Pulse 2 has a service-friendly feature that makes it
possible to update the system software without changing
any parts.
All firmware updates come in the form of a standard
MIDI file that can be read by nearly any sequencer. The
fastest way to get this file is by downloading it from our
web site at:
pulse2.waldorfmusic.de
w
There will be a .zip file containing the new firm-
ware as well as a manual addendum.

Updating Pulse 2 firmware:
•
Load the respective Standard MIDI File into
your sequencer. Follow the instructions
from your sequencer’s manual. Keep in
mind that your sequencer should be able to
playback MIDI sysex data.
•
The MIDI file consists of one single track
with several sysex messages in it. Make su-
re that this track is assigned to the Pulse 2
so that it can receive the data
•
Make sure that any Cycle or Loop mode is
switched off. Also make sure that any Me-
tronome clicks and MIDI Clock are swit-
ched off.
•
Start the sequencer playing the file, and
send the track data to the Pulse 2. The
MIDI/USB LED will blink during this proce-
dure.
•
After the file is received correctly, the Pulse
2 burns the new firmware into its Flash
memory.
w
You can perform a firmware update via USB
MIDI as well as the regular MIDI input.
m
Don´t disconnect the Pulse 2 or computer during
firmware upgrade process.
