Updating Software
4. Follow the instructions in one or more of the following
subsections, depending on which software
components need updating.
Updating Boot Block Software
1. When the boot block has finished launching, press the
Right cursor button until you see
Update|boot|block in the bottom line of the
display.
2. Press Yes. The display changes to
Update|boot|block|via|MIDI.
3. Press Yes again. The display changes to
Waiting|for|MIDI.
4. Insert the PC2 CD into the CD-ROM drive of your
sequencer or computer.
5. Using the sequencer or computer, find and open the
appropriate MIDI file for your PC2. (The “readme”
document on the PC2 CD explains how the CD files are
organized.) Look for files whose names start with
PC2B..... The B stands for “boot block.” The B is
followed by either a K (keyboard), an R (rack-mount),
or a P (PCX-1 polyphony expansion board, for both
keyboard and rack-mount models). The three digits
following the BK, BR, or BP indicate the version
number. For example, a filename of pc2bk200.mid
indicates Version 2.0 of the boot block software for
keyboard models.
6. Play the MIDI file. The top line of the display shows
SYS3-0|file|1|of|1, and the bottom line shows
segment|1|of|1. When the file finishes loading, the
PC2 will restart and return to a performance mode.
7. If your instrument does not contain the PCX-1
Polyphony Expansion option, proceed to Step 8. If it
does contain the PCX-1 option, you need to update its
boot block software as well. Repeat the procedure for
launching the boot block (the instructions are in the
previous subsection), then install the file
pc2bpnnn.mid, following Steps 1 through 6 above.
When you’re finished, proceed to Step 8 below.
