Introduction
August 2020
Major features of Firmware Version 2 for the DinoPark Modelling Synthesizer include
Releases of FMagia, LightWave and Drumns'n'Bass - raising the official number of DinoPark models from four to seven!
Editors for all seven Models - as VSTi Control Plugins but also as stand-alone Editor programs which can be operated without a
sequencer installed
support for MacOS 10.15 "Catalina"
support of the DinoDials - now available in 8-Encoder and 12-Encoder versions
PLEASE NOTE - The new VSTi / Standalone Editors for DinoPark require the DinoPark unit to run on v2 Firmware, so please
update your DinoPark hardware first.
Update Procedure:
have a Windows PC running Java ready
connect DinoPark via USB and run update batch files
connect Display/Encoder board via USB and run update batch files
download and install the new VSTi Editors
PLEASE NOTE - To complete the update, both the DinoPark board AND the Display/Encoder board must be updated. The unit
will not work if one board is left on v1 status.
Are you ready? Please follow the update instructions closely. If anything does not work out as expected we'd like to know such that
we can help you and iron out potential problem areas in the software and documentation.
IMPORTANT - SAVE YOUR PRESETS FIRST!
Caution - if you have made your own presets with the VSTi editor, please save each preset via the "SAVE PRESET TO DISK"
function BEFORE you do the update. The update will erase all your custom presets to a factory preset status and after the update,
you will want to "LOAD PRESET FROM DISK" and save them back to the DinoPark unit.

Open the Windows Device Manager and unfold the "Ports (COM & LPT)" section. This way you can easily see under which COM port the Text Display and DinoPark (before Step 2) appear on your machine. Alternatively, you can use the command mode in the command prompt. - Page 3 Step 2 After a successful Step 1, your DinoPark will no longer appear as a MIDI Device but as a serial device (a COM port). Read from the Windows Device Manager under which COM port DinoPark can be reached. After executing step 1, it should appear there with an entry like "USB Serial Port (COM8)".
