How to Update Merishplus MIDI Sounds

New sound bank (available with xynthia 2)

How to update the sounds of Merish 5 + plus

Check on Merish5 that the current version of the firmware mounted on is 1.8 or higher: enter OPTIONS and tap on SYSTEM.
If you find a version lower than 1.8 in the "Software Version" field , you must first perform the update (see).
If the version is correct, you can update the sound bank.
Attention! The process of updating sounds takes more than 2 hours and, once started, cannot be interrupted.

(NOTE: If for some reason the process is interrupted in the middle, MIDI files will no longer be able to play. Should this happen, you must repeat the sound update procedure until you are successful)

As with the firmware, Merish sounds can be updated via the Internet or through a USB flash drive.

UPDATE THROUGH WI-FI or ETHERNET CABLE.

1.Check for a new sound bank
You must first connect Merish5 to the Internet (via WiFi pen or cable), then enter OPTIONS and tap on UTILITY. If a yellow update symbol appears in the "Update Sounds" button, it means a new bank is available.

2.Click on "Update Sounds": Merish5 automatically downloads and installs the new version. The download time is variable and depends on the speed of the network. Indicatively, it can range from 5 to 15 min.
Once the file is downloaded, the update in the machine begins. Follow the directions on the display until finished.
