UPDATING INSTRUCTIONS
Required Equipment

The following screen appears in the LCD screen.
To cancel the update at this point, turn off the power to the RD.

• After the PC has started up, connect the RD and the PC with a USB cable.
• Place the RD-700SX UPDATE DISK in the PC.
• Start up the “UpdSMFJ.exe” simple SMF player.
• Make the following settings for UpdSMF.
[MIDI OUT Device]
→ Select Roland RD.
[SMF Path]
→ Specify your computer’s CD-ROM drive.
Click [Scan SMF].
→ Confirm that “rd700sx_v***.mid” is indicated in the listed column.
“***” refers to the updater version.
Example: rd700sx_v103.mid in the updater Ver. 1.03.
• After completing the above settings, click the UpdSMF [Send] button.
The RD’s LCD starts to flash when transfer of the data begins.
Do not turn off the power to the RD or disconnect the USB cable once data
transfer has begun.
• Once the data transfer is completed, the RD loads the data to the
Program ROM.
During loading to the Program ROM, the following screen appears in the
LCD display, and all of the panel LEDs remain lit.
Do not turn off the power to the RD while data is being loaded.
This may corrupt the ROM image, and in the worst case may make restoration
of the main board impossible.
• Once loading to the ROM is completed, the following screen appears in
the LCD display, and all of the panel LEDs flash.
After confirming that the above screen is displayed and the LEDs are
flashing, disconnect the USB cable, then turn off the power to the RD.
This completes the update.
