Updating the Firmware
The Master Fader app automatically compares the app and rmware versions
each time the app connects to the mixer. In order to operate properly, the rmware
and app versions must match. If the Master Fader app is older than the rmware
versioninthemixer,youwillbepromptedtoupdatetheapp.TaptheAppStore
button on the popup and update as described on the previous page.
If the rmware version in the mixer is older than the
Master Fader app, you will be prompted to update
the rmware. The latest rmware is built into the
Master Fader app, so there is nothing additional to
download. Just follow the on-screen prompts.
Be sure you have up to 15 minutes to spare, as the
rmware update sometimes takes that long.
