To Update the Q O.S.:
1) Insure that your computer, MIDI interface, and Q are all connected and working properly
3) Set your Q into the standard "Play" mode (press the Play button) to make sure its not in an edit buffer
4) Open your sequencing program (Cubase, Logic, Digital Performer) on your computer and insure that it is set to send and receive SYSEX data
5) Insure that any loop modes of playback are off as well as the metronome or any MIDI clicks
5) In your sequencer, open the O.S. update MIDI file first (*not* the Boot O.S.)
6) Set your Q as the active instrument to receive the MIDI send
7) Insure that the sequencer is set to a reasonable tempo, from 100 to 120 BPM
8) Press play on the sequencer and watch your Q's display for its current status
9) DO NOT turn off the Q during the update process!
9) If you get the message "Checksum error", then try the update again possibly with a slower tempo.
If you get the message, "Timeout", then the transmit was incomplete or played back to slowly.
If possible download the OS files again from Waldorf's website, and if necessary adjust your sequencer's tempo a little bit faster.
9) Once the upgrade has completed and the Q resets, watch its display to insure it has received the O.S. properly (it should have the new O.S. in its startup display)
10) After a quick check to insure the Q is operating in a normal fashion proceed
to ... Install the 'boot' O.S.
11) Just as before, play the boot OS file to your Q with the Q set in the standard 'Play' mode, etc.
12) DO NOT turn of the Q during the process!!
12) Watch the display as the file loads, once it's finished the Q will reset and your Q should be fully updated. Watch the display as it boots up and it should display the current O.S.
