4.4 RECEIVE UPDATE
This utility is used to upgrade the system software. Updates will be available from time to time on
our website, www.moogmusic.com in Minimoog Voyager section, entitled “software”. Instructions
for upgrading the software are provided with the files – you must follow these instructions! To take
advantage of this feature requires the following:
- A computer with internet access and MIDI interface.
- MIDI Software capable of sending a generic Sysex bank file (.syx) or Standard MIDI file (.mid)
Many sequencers are capable of opening Sysex files and sending Sysex data. If you do not own
one of these, check out “MIDI-OX”, a MIDI utility software for PC available online at www.midiox.com.
For Mac, there is a program called “Sysex” that provides the same function. Many sequencers can
be used to import the Standard MIDI file versions (.mid) of the software. be sure you understand fully
the settings in your sequencer that may affect the transmission of Sysex data. It is beyond the scope
of this manual to explain how to import or open files containing SysEx data in the many different
MIDI programs available – it is the user’s responsibility to know and be familiar with this aspect of
the upgrade! If you have questions about your software’s capabilities to send large SysEx messages,
contact your software vendor.
If you do not own a computer, special arrangements will need to be made for software upgrades.
Please contact [e-mail].
When entering the RECEIVE UPDATE screen, the screen will ask if you are sure you want to upgrade the
software. Selecting YES will initialize the memory and enable the Voyager to receive the Sysex data
containing the new Operating System software. There is no danger of losing the current Software if your
MIDI software is not properly configured. The new operating system does not become active until the
Sysex data transfer is confirmed as successful.
