Many of the earlier instruments have been upgraded, so you should always check the installed version before ordering an upgrade kit. Version 3 is already installed in all Evolvers serial numbers 1859 and above. If you have an Evolver with Main version 1.x or 2.x and want to upgrade to version 3, you will need to either return your Evolver to DSI for the upgrade or order the Evolver 3.x Upgrade kit from the DSI online store and install it yourself. If you have Main version 1 or 2 and are not upgrading the Main processor to version 3, DO NOT INSTALL DSP VERSION 3. IMPORTANT NOTEĭSP version 3 is only compatible with Main version 3. DSP version 3.5 is for Evolvers with serial numbers 1608 and above. The latest DSP version is 3.4 or 3.5. Version 3.4 can be installed in Evolvers with serial numbers up to and including 1607. The current Main operating system version is 3.0. The paper labels on the chips are not to be relied upon and the editor software may not display the correct version. This is the only accurate method of determining the installed version. Hold the Row 1 button and press Row 3.Hold the Row 1 button and press Row 2.To check the installed versions in your Evolver: The Evolver has two processors, Main (AKA “PIC”) and DSP, and each has its own operating system. UPGRADING FROM VERSION 1 OR 2 TO VERSION 3 CHECKING YOUR EVOLVER’S INSTALLED OS VERSIONS You will also need either a USB cable (Type A to Type B connectors, like a typical USB printer cable) or a MIDI interface to transmit the SysEx file from your computer to the Evolver. MIDI-OX (Windows) and SysEx Librarian (Mac OS) are shareware MIDI utilities that can reliably be used to update DSI instruments. You will need a DAW, MIDI utility, or other application capable of opening and sending MIDI System Exclusive (SysEx) messages. The Evolver’s operating system is updated via MIDI. For example, if your Evolver is already running DSP OS 3.4, there is no benefit to installing it again. If one of the installed OS versions in your Evolver is already the current version, there is no need to reinstall it. Upgrading from version 1 or 2 does add new features, so if you are upgrading from an earlier version, please follow the instructions carefully for a successful install. So if you have any questions or are unsure about what you’re doing, please contact us before attempting to update your instrument’s operating system. In addition, loading an OS improperly could disable your instrument, leaving it in need of servicing. Unlike on computer, the OS on your instrument can never become corrupted, so re-installing your current OS won’t fix a hardware problem, and is not recommended. If you are experiencing a problem with your instrument, please contact our Support Department for help in diagnosing the cause before doing anything else. Most OS updates fix only minor bugs that most users never encounter. It also includes installation instructions. The downloadable file in the sidebar at the right contains the latest operating system for the Evolver.
