**VS-1680 Version 2 System Update**

Use the following procedure to update the VS-1680 to the latest operating system. The updated software is provided as sixteen
Standard MIDI Files.

The tools required are:
* MIDI sequencer (software or hardware) that can load
  Standard MIDI Files.
* MIDI cable
* VS-1680
* VS-1680 System Software update disk

Update Procedure

1) Connect the MIDI OUT port of the sequencer to the MIDI IN
   port of the VS-1680.
2) Hold down TRACK SELECT/CH EDIT button 7 and STATUS button 7
   while powering on the VS-1680. The message "System Update?"
   will be displayed.
3) Press YES. The message "Waiting MIDI-EX" will be displayed.
4) Load the Standard MIDI Files into your sequencer.
5) Play all Standard MIDI Files: "VS168001.mid" through
   "VS168016.mid" in sequential order.
6) After all SMFs have been played into the VS-1680, the
   message "Update SysPRG?" will be displayed. Press YES.
7) The message "Please Reboot OK" will be displayed. The
   system software of the VS-1680 has now been updated.
8) Restart the VS-1680 (power off and then on again).
   The new system version will be displayed as the unit
   is booting up.

* NOTE: Hardware sequencers are normally more reliable for
transferring system exclusive MIDI data. We have tested these
files with the following computer-based MIDI sequencing programs;
Vision (Opcode), Performer (MOTU), Cubase (Steinberg/Jones), and
Logic (Emagic). We were successful in updating the VS-1680. 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 VS-1680. 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.
