**VP-9000 System Update Procedure**

Use the following procedure to update the VP-9000.
The updated software is provided as 32
Standard MIDI Files.

The tools required are:
* MIDI sequencer (software or hardware) that can load
  Standard MIDI Files.
* MIDI cable
* VP-9000
* VP-9000 System Update Files

Update Procedure

1) Connect the MIDI OUT port of the sequencer to the MIDI IN
   port of the VP-9000.
2) Hold down UTILITY and DISK while powering on the VP-9000.
   The VP-9000 Update screen will be displayed.
3) Press SHIFT. The message "Waiting" will be displayed.
4) Load and play all Standard MIDI Files from your sequencer
   in sequential order.
5) After all SMFs have been played into the VS-1680, the
   message "Complete Update Please Power Off" will be
   displayed. The system software of the VP-9000 has
   now been updated.
6) Restart the VP-9000 (power off and then on again).
 
* NOTE: Hardware sequencers are normally more reliable for
transferring system exclusive MIDI data. We have successfully
tested these files with the following computer-based MIDI
sequencing programs; Vision (Opcode), Performer (MOTU),
Cubase (Steinberg/Jones), and Logic (Emagic). Some sequencers
do not send system exclusive messages that are embedded in a
Standard MIDI File properly. These programs will not work for
updating the operating system of the VP-9000. Roland also has an
application available on our website (www.rolandus.com) titled
"updateSMF.exe" that can be used instead of a software sequencer.
This program can be used with any IBM compatible computer that has
a MIDI interface.

If you have problems updating your unit with a computer, check your
MIDI/interface setup.
