Updating the System
You use a computer-based MIDI sequencer or the like to play back update-use
MIDI data, and carry out a system update on the ME-25 by receiving the sent
MIDI data.
Performing a system update causes any patch data in the unit to be lost. Back
up any necessary data in advance as described in Data Backup and Restore
Operations (p. 11).
Items Required
• Computer (running Windows XP)
• USB cable
• Update-use MIDI data
• USB driver for the ME-25 (obtainable from http://www.roland.co.jp)
• UpdSMF (obtained via Service Net)
Procedure
1. Use the USB cable to connect the ME-25 to the computer installed with
the USB driver for the ME-25.
2. Turn down all controls all the way counterclockwise (minimum).
3. Hold down [WRITE], [EXTREME], and [SUPER STACK] and insert the
plug into the INPUT jack.
The message UP. appears on the 7-segment LED display.

The dot flashes while the ME-25 negotiates the connection to the
computer. When the connection has been established, the dot stops
flashing and stays lighted.
* If the dot on the 7-segment LED display does not light up steadily, the
connection has a problem. Verify that the driver is correctly installed and set up
and that the USB cable is correctly connected.
4. On the computer, start the program for sending MIDI data (UpdSMF)
and send the update-use MIDI data.
During data receiving, the triangular LEDs to the left and right of the 7-
segment LED display flash with different timing.
The update takes about 3 minutes.
When the update has ended, the message Fn. appears on the 7-segment
LED display.
