Let it beat!
USING B.BEAT MANAGER
DOWNLOAD THE LATEST VERSION of BBeatManager from these links
1. Automatic checking for a new release
Connect your B.Beat to the network using the Ethernet cable, or via WiFi, the same way you would connect it to your computer to transfer backing tracks. If your PC is connected to the Internet, the system checks whether B.Beat is updated to the latest software release.
If it is not, the software prompts through a pop-up to update the system. The update procedure of B.Beat is automatic.
USING A USB STICK
NOTE: Make sure you don’t have any other files called ‘bbeatSysSw.upd’ in your PC’s Download folder.
1. Checking the Software Version on the B.Beat
To check the version number currently installed on the device, simply press the Options key and choose INFO.
2. Download the software, version 3.0
– The latest firmware version of B.Beat can be downloaded as an .upd file from this link.
– Once you have downloaded the UPD file, copy it onto a USB stick.
– Remove the USB stick from your PC.
3. Update the software on B.Beat
– Insert the USB stick into the USB port of B.Beat, possibly switched off.
– Switch on B.Beat and wait for the system to recognise the USB with the update. The display of B.Beat shows the message “Update found”. Press F3 .
– The system analyses the file, after about 15sec you are asked to confirm the update. Check that the version is the one above and press F3 again to confirm your choice. If not, cancel to interrupt the update.
– The update procedure continues automatically and eventually the B.Beat restarts itself. At the end of the restart, take out the USB stick
