volca drum System Firmware Update Instructions
The update will take approximately one minute and a half. Do not turn your volca drum off or
stop playback while update is in progress.
If the update fails, all the STEP LEDs will start blinking. If this happens, observe “Tips”at the
end of this document and repeat the update from step 1.
3. When the update has successfully completed, “UPD End” will be displayed on the LCD display.
Now, turn the power off.
4. Go back to step 2 of “Preparations”and check that your volca drum has been updated by verifying
the current system version.
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:
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 drum.
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.
