Firmware Update Failure - Panda-Audio Future Impact v3 User Manual

The online updater also allows you to write the latest default factory soundset to your pedal
after the firmware has been installed.
Important: If you are upgrading to v3.60 from a pre-v3 version then you must allow the
online updater to write the factory soundset to the pedal after the firmware update has been
installed; all pre-v3 program data must be flushed from the pedal otherwise it will not function
correctly. Back up any custom program files you want to keep before updating the firmware.
If you do not want to lose any edits made using the PARAMETER and EDIT dials then
you must manually make a note of these as these are not stored as part of the program data
- they are stored on the pedal slots themselves.
Note: Following a firmware update from a pre-v3 version to v3.60, the Tune Base will not be
at 440 Hz and so the Tuner will show "incorrect" pitch values. You must reset the Tune Base.
You can do this by performing a RESET ALL or by manually setting the Tune Base to 440 Hz
(or any other desired value); see the section on the Boot Menu for how to do either of these
things.
(An alternative way to update your pedal's firmware via the Editor Suite is detailed in the
section on the File Menu.)

Firmware Update Failure

If for some reason the firmware update was unsuccessful (e.g. due to poor data transmission
caused by faulty driver software of the MIDI interface) you will still be able to use the FI just
as before with the old firmware. Even if power is interrupted during an update, do not worry,
the FI firmware update process is foolproof. Although the device may look dead in such a
case, you can simply repeat the firmware update process again until it is successful.
Whilst most MIDI interfaces are well implemented and can transfer large SysEx packages
such as the FI firmware update, some manufacturers do not test their devices carefully
enough to ensure they don't suffer from data loss when sending large packages. While these
poorly-tested MIDI interfaces can be used for all other functions of the FI Editor, they cannot
be used for updating the firmware. Do not worry, even if an error occurs during the update
process, it will not damage your FI in any way; after a failed update the FI will remain fully
functional.
Please see the list of Compatible MIDI Interfaces in the MIDI section. Choose one of the
ones known to work and you should have no further trouble.
