How to Update

Firmware updates can be done via Midi Sysex by using a 3rd party tool (MidiOX on Windows, Sysex Librarian on OSX).

Bootloader mode

To access the Tm62100 bootloader, power down the synth and play an E-minor chord (E G B) while turning it on. You might here some strange sounds – that is ok. When in bootloader mode, the keyboard will not react.

Update Using MidiOX

 

  • Enter the Bootloader mode on TM62100 as described above.
  • Connect the midi input from your SK-synthesizer to the output of your computer.
  • Open MidiOX and select the correct midi output via Options -> MIDI Devices
  • Go to View -> SysEx
  • enter the configuration Sysex -> Configure. Activate “Delay after F7” and set it to 200.
  • Open and send the firmware update file File->Send SysEx File. Use the file with .syx extension.
  • Wait until the update is finished.
  • When the update is complete the new firmware will start.

Update Using Sysex Librarian

  • Enter the Bootloader mode on TM62100 as described above.
  • Connect the midi input from your SK-synthesizer to the output of your computer.
  • Download Syex Librarian from and install it.
  • Open the firmware syses file with .syx extension
  • Go to Sysex librarian – Preferences and set “Pause between played messages” to about 200 (anything larger than 100 is fine)
  • Select the correct midi interface
  • Press play
  • Wait until the update is finished.
  • When the update is complete,  the new firmware will start.
