The .hex firmware file can be download from our Downloads page as well.

We publish 2 different firmwares for each release. One firmware exposes the USB port as a MIDI + Keyboard interface, while the other is a pure MIDI interface. If you are connecting it to a device with a MIDI Host USB port, you may need to use the MIDI-only interface.

3. Clicking on the Select .hex file to upload button will open a file dialog for you to select the .hex file that you downloaded in the previous section.

4. After selecting the device and file, an upload button will appear. Click on the button to upload the firmware to the device.

   

5. The software will indicate that the firmware is uploaded successfully.
