Minitaur Firmware Manual Update Instructions

NOTE: Use the automatic updater to update your Minitaur's firmware. Only use this procedure if automatic update fails !

1. Enter bootloader mode: Press and hold VCO1 Wave and VCO2 Wave switches, and while keeping them both pushed plug the power cord into your Minitaur unit. 
Keep holding the two switches and press the Release switch, then release all switches. You should see the Glide switch blinking slowly, indicating your Minitaur is now in bootloader mode.

2. Directly Connect the Minitaur to your computer using a USB cable. Do not using any hub. If Windows starts an automatic driver search, allow it install the default drivers.

3. Load the C6 sysex send program, click "CONFIGURE" and select the Minitaur's Midi In and Out ports.

4. Click "LOAD", and load 'Minitaur_Firmware_Erase.syx' file into C6.

5. Click "SEND". VCO1 Wave switch should blink as the firmware is being erased. Once complete, VCO1 Wave switch should stop blinking and the Glide switch should keep on blinking slowly. 

6. Load "Minitaur_Firmware_v2_2_1.syx" file into C6 playlist, mark it, and then send it to the Minitaur by clicking on "SEND". As the syx file is being transferred, you should see the Midi LED blinking rapidly, and VCO2 Wave switch blinking slowly. 
Once the update is complete, the Minitaur will boot automatically. Your Minitaur is now updated with the new firmware.

7. Run the Minitaur Editor and check for the firmware version by clicking on "Settings", it should say 2.2.1. 
In any case it shows a different number, it means that the update was not successful, and you should repeat the procedure.
