Update Firmware, Audio Files and Presets

You can update the blackbox firmware to get the latest features and other updates. The firmware can be updated with the
factory image, which includes the original presets, or just the firmware itself. You can also choose individual presets to copy
over to your microSD Card.

Switch to a New MicroSD Card While Operating Blackbox

You can switch to a different microSD card while operating blackbox. Simply remove the current card and insert the new one,
then load a preset from the new card as usual. Just make sure you save any changes before you remove the original card.

Backup Your Presets and WAV Files

Before you use a microSD card to update firmware, backup the files that are stored on the microSD card:
Remove the microSD card from the front edge of blackbox and insert into your computer. You may need to use a
•
microSD adapter for your computer (not included).
Copy the files from the microSD card onto your computer.
•

Install New Firmware

Here are the steps required:
1. Download the desired firmware onto your computer. You can find the latest firmware images on the forum at
https://forum.1010music.com. You must be a registered user of the forum to access the download files. Forum
registration is free.
2. Unpack the zip file. Some browsers do this automatically for you.
3. Prepare a microSD card with the FAT32, MSDOS Fat, or ExFat format. The card that comes with blackbox is
formatted properly, but you may need to reformat a card that came from somewhere else.
4. If you want to replace the Presets with the factory image, copy the full contents of the zip file onto a microSD card. If
you do not want to overwrite your presets, copy only the BLACKBOX.BIN file to the microSD card.
5. Unplug blackbox.
6. Place the updated microSD card in blackbox.
7. While plugging in blackbox, hold the BACK and INFO buttons. When you see the message about upgrading the
firmware, you can let go of the buttons.
8. When the upgrade finishes in about 15 seconds, the unit will restart with the new software.
