 11.1 SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

239

The OB-12 offers the immense advantage that the internal software packages for the instrument

supplied by Oberheim can be installed by just sending the data by means of the MIDI [IN] port.

This means you will not have to open the instrument and fit the chip containing the software each

time.

First connect the OB-12 to a Personal Computer or a sequencer as shown in the diagram.

When sending the MIDI datas, OB-12 will automatically abilitate the updating procedure and show

on the display:

As can be seen, the video page indicates the section being installed in the instrument, the file size,

the version, the date and time of creation of the program, and a series of asterisks displaying the

portion of the program installed. When the procedure is complete the instrument will reset itself to

allow the internal circuits to set themselves up with the new settings.

WARNING!!

Do not try to change the files for the up dating of the software.
