Vyzex MPK49 Firmware Upgrade PDF

3. Witness the Upgrade in Progress
This illustration has the non-essential parts of the Vyzex GUI ‘ghosted’ out to point out what you should look
for in the Vyzex GUI when the upgrade is in progress.
First there is the activity icon associated with the MIDI Out Port connected to MPK49: In the Windows XP
screen capture above it is shown as USB Audio Device, but Vista and Mac OSX will display this port as
MPK49 MIDI Port 1. While the firmware SYX file is downloading the activity icon (a little grey MIDI plug)
will appear.
Secondly you’ll see the firmware’s SysEx message fill up the monitor area as shown above: This message will
not go scrolling by as you might expect, however. Since the firmware update is one single SysEx message, it
will appear in the monitor all at once as soon as Vyzex sends it through the MIDI Out Port.
Once Vyzex has sent the firmware message out however, your computer’s OS takes over the task of piping
the data into MPK49. Unfortunately Vyzex does not get any feedback from the OS when this happens so
there is no status bar to display in the software’s GUI. Not to worry: This is what MPK49’s front panel LCD is
for.
