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 words "Blackbox Installer"
on the screen, you can let go of the buttons.
8.
When the upgrade finishes in about 15 seconds, the unit will restart with the new software.
Reset Blackbox Presets to Factory Settings
If you want to reset one or more of the blackbox presets to the original factory settings, you can copy individual
preset files onto your microSD card.
1.
Download the blackbox firmware onto your computer. You can find the available 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.
Find the *.xml file in the unpacked folder that has the same name as the preset you want to restore. Copy
the .xml file onto the microSD card to replace the file on the card. Keep in mind that you will also need the
WAV files that go with that Preset and you may need to copy those over as well.
