Updating the System Software
The MicroWave II/XT/XTk has an service-friendly feature that makes it possible to update
the system software without changing any parts.
All software updates come in the form of a standard MIDI file that can be read by every
sequencer. The fastest way to get this file is by downloading it from our web site at
http://www.waldorf-gmbh.de/mw2/system.html.
If you don’t have Internet access, please ask your local dealer for a disk copy.
Software version 2.1.8 or later is required for the XTk model. Do not under any
circumstances try to dump an earlier version into the XTk. A total loss of data may
occur and there is no way to make the XTk work again!
This is how you update the MicroWave II/XT/XTk’s system software:
1. Load the standard MIDI file with the system software into your sequencer. Follow
the instructions from your sequencer’s manual.
2. The MIDI file consists of one single track with several sysex messages within. Make
sure that this track is assigned to the MicroWave II/XT/XTk so that it can receive the
data.
3. Start the sequencer to play the file and send the track data to the MicroWave
II/XT/XTk.
4. The MicroWave II/XT/XTk will display a message that informs that update is in
progress:
5. Wait until the operation is completed. If updating was successful, the MicroWave
II/XT/XTk will show the following message:
Do not under any circumstances turn off the MicroWave II/XT/XTk when this step is
in progress. A total loss of data may occur and there is no way to make it work
again!
6. After a few seconds the message disappears. The MicroWave II/XT/XTk is now
ready to work again.
If something goes wrong with updating, the MicroWave II/XT/XTk displays an error
message. If such a thing happens, try updating again. In some cases it can be
necessary to adjust the sequencer tempo before playing the file so that the data
events are sent more slowly. You should also deactivate the transmission of MIDI
Timecode and MIDI Clock.
