to fail. Make sure all other applications are shut down and do not operate you computer during
the update.
The update will take approximately thirty seconds. Do not turn your volca fm off or stop
playback while update is in progress.
If the update fails, the knobs will start blinking. If this happens, observe “Tips”at the end of this
document and repeat the update from step 1.
3. When the first part of the update has successfully completed, the power will be automatically turned
off.
4. Now turn the power back on.
5. Start the playback of volca_fm_sys_2_0107.wav to begin the second part of the update.
6. When the update has been successfully completed, “End”will be displayed. Now, turn the power off.
7. Go back to step 2 of “Preparations”and check that your volca fm has been updated.
Tips
Update may fail with some audio players, computers or software. If this is the case, please try with a
different device.
If you are having trouble with the update, please check the following:
Check the current system firmware version. If it has already been updated, you will not be able
to update again (it will also be unnecessary).
Make sure the volume of the playback device has been turned up.
Please note that some devices which have very high output levels may fail because of it. If this
is the case please try turning the volume down and start the update process again.
Make sure all functions that affect the playback sound, such as cross-fade and EQ, are
disabled.
Make sure the update file is played from the beginning.
Check the connection from your playback device to your volca fm.
When using a computer, any other system sounds (e.g. email notification) will cause the update
to fail. Make sure all other applications are shut down and do not operate you computer during
the update.
