Novation LaunchPad Mini Advanced Features Guide

Bootloader and Firmware Version
The two green buttons in the bottom left-hand corner are used to
display the version numbers of the bootloader and firmware loaded
on the Launchpad.
Exiting the Bootloader
The bottom right-hand green button is used to exit the bootloader
and change over to the main firmware.
Firmware Update
Firmware updates may be made available in the future via the
Launchpad S and Launchpad Mini download pages on the Novation
website. Updates will be provided in the form of a System Exclusive
(.syx) file. This is a standard file format used by manufacturers for
configuring equipment.
The new firmware may be loaded onto the Launchpad only whilst it
is in bootloader mode. The procedure is as follows:
1. Download the firmware as a System Exclusive (.syx) file
from the Novation website.
2. Connect the Lauchpad in bootloader mode to a Mac or
Windows PC.
3. Open the System Exclusive file in MIDI-OX for Windows
PC or Sysex-Librarian for Mac, available from:
http://www.midiox.com/
http://www.snoize.com/SysExLibrarian/
4. Select the Launchpad S / Mini as the MIDI output device.
5. Play the file.
Text will scroll across the Launchpad to indicate that an upgrade is
taking place. Once the update has finished the bootloader will exit.
The bootloader can be used subsequently to view the version
number of the main firmware. This is a useful way to check that the
update has been successful. Note that the bootloader itself will not
be updated; just the main firmware.
