LOADING THE OPERATING SYSTEM

Your microARRANGER can be constantly updated as
new versions of the operating system are released by
KORG. You can download the operating system from
http://www.korgpa.com/. Please, read the Readme file
included with the operating system itself.
You can see which version of the operating systems is
installed in your microARRANGER by keeping the
SHIFT button pressed, and pressing the ENTER and
EXIT buttons together. The operating system version
number will appear in the display. Press EXIT to close
the message window.
To load a new system, follow these instructions:
1. Copy the three operating system's files in the root
of an SD card. These are the needed files:
• BPaMAR1.sys
• NBPaMAR1.sys
• OsPaMAR1.lzx
2. Turn the instrument off, and insert the card con‐
taining the operating system into the card slot.
3. Turn the instrument on. A message appears in the
display, asking if you want to load the operating
system.
4. Press ENTER to load, or EXIT to cancel the loading
procedure. If you press ENTER, wait until the
loading is finished.
When the operating system is finished loading, a
message appears, asking you to remove the card
and press any button.
Hint: When done, delete the operating system files, to
avoid microARRANGER starts the upgrade procedure
each time it is turned on with the same card in the drive.
5. Remove the card, and press any button.

RELOADING THE FACTORY DATA

Should the internal memory content get damaged, you
can reload the original Factory Data from the backup
card. See "Restore Data" on page 141.
