Update Firmware and Manage Preset and WAV Files

Toolbox owners can update the module's firmware to get the latest features and other updates. Toolbox is not cross
compatible with the Series 1 Modules, bitbox, fxbox and synthbox. 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 or WAV files to copy over to your
microSD Card.

Install New Firmware

Here are the steps required:
1. Download the toolbox firmware onto your computer. You can find the latest firmware image in the Firmware
Downloads sub-forums at https://forum.1010music.com. NOTE: You must be a registered member of the forum in
order to access the firmware download sub-forums.
2. Unpack the zip file. Some browsers do this automatically for you.
3. 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 SERIES2.BIN file to the microSD card. Place the microSD
card in your toolbox.
4. While powering up the unit, hold the Home and Info buttons. When you see the message about upgrading the
firmware, you can let go.
5. When the upgrade finishes in about 15 seconds, the unit will restart with the new software.
NOTE:
•
You must register at forum.1010music.com in order to download firmware.
•
You cannot run bitbox, fxbox or synthbox firmware on a toolbox module.
•
You cannot run toolbox firmware on a bitbox, fxbox or synthbox module.
•
The microSD card must be formatted with FAT32 or MS- DOS (FAT). The exFAT format will not work.

Backup and Restore Your Presets

Toolbox stores presets on the microSD card with file names with a .tlb extension. It is always a good idea to keep a backup of
your work. You can backup the preset files that are stored on the microSD card by following these simple steps:
1. Remove the microSD card from your module and insert into your computer. You may need to use a microSD adapter.
2. Copy the files from the microSD card onto your computer.
To restore one or more preset files from a backup, simply copy the preset file from the backup copy onto the microSD card.
You may rename the files.

Manage WAV files and Preset files

In addition to the presets, toolbox stores the CV recordings on the microSD card. These recordings have the .WAV extension.
You can use the microSD card on your computer to manage the WAV files and Preset files. You can rename the files, add new
files to the microSD card, or rearrange WAV files into folders. Please keep in mind however, that if you move or rename a WAV
file that is used in a Preset, that Preset will no longer be able to find that WAV file. Toolbox will still allow you to open the
Preset, but the CPLY cells that use that WAV file will not playback properly until the WAV file is reloaded from its new name or
location.
It's also important to note that Preset files must be stored in the root folder of the microSD card or else Toolbox will not find
them. WAV files and MIDI files can be in folders.
To rename or move WAV or Preset files, place the microSD card into your computer. You may need to use an SD card adapter
for this. Then use the standard file management tools on your computer to make the desired changes. When you are done,
safely eject the microSD card from your computer, and then reinsert it into the toolbox with the notched edge away from the
screen. The new and renamed files will now be available.
