* SP-808EX SYSTEM SOFTWARE UPDATE FOR OLD SP-808 USING SMF

The latest system software of the SP-808EX is stored in the
Standard MIDI File (SMF) format. Use the following procedure
to update the SP-808EX:

1. Connect a MIDI cable between the MIDI OUT connector of a
   MIDI Sequencer that can play back SMF data, and the
   MIDI IN connector of the SP-808EX.
2. Power on while holding down STATUS (TRACK SELECT)
   and EFFECTS (BAL/EQ/FX) above Fader A. "Waiting MIDI... "
   will be displayed.
3. Play back the SMF data in order number 1 to 8. While the
   data is being received "Receiving.. (x/8)" will be displayed
   and the pad indicator (PAD) blinks. ("x" is the SMF data
   number being received.)
4. When all of SMF data is received "Update System? (Y/N)"
   will appear in the display. Press ENTER/YES.

NOTE: Never turn the power off while the message
"* KEEP POWER ON *"is being displayed.

5. When "Update Complete" and "You may TURN OFF" appear on
   the display, turn the power off and turn it on again.
