9.2 PLUGIN AND DSP UPGRADE
miniDSP occasionally provides an upgrade to the plugin, to improve stability or performance or to add new
features. The procedure is essentially the same as initial installation in Section 2, but with some additional points
to note.
To upgrade, log into the miniDSP website and drop down the menu at the top right. Click on User Downloads.
Click on the miniDSP Flex heading. First check the written instructions on the download webpage and note if
there is more to do than just upgrade the plugin – for example, if there is a firmware update, or if the DSP
program needs to be updated.
1. Click on the Download button at the right.
2. Unzip the downloaded file (on Windows, right-click and select “Extract All...”; on Mac, double-click).
3. Install the newly downloaded plugin as described in Section 2.
4. If the instructions on the download webpage say to update the DSP program, start the plugin, click the
Connect button, drop down the Restore menu and select Refresh DSP Program. (This is safe to do as a
matter of course after each plugin update. Your configuration data is not overwritten or reset.)
5. If the instructions on the download webpage say that there is a firmware update included, follow the
instructions in Section 9.3.
6. Confirm the updated software versions from the Help -> About… menu:
