STRUCTURE SD Firmware

Here is the latest STRUCTURE SD firmware releases, followed by the previously released versions.

INSTRUCTION ON LOADING FIRMWARE

Place the *.fw file dowloaded on the front “performance” SDCARD. Place in the root directory of the card, this is the only spot that the firmware loader will look.

Put STRUCTURE SD into firmware mode in one of two ways. If STRUCTURE is OFF, hold the SYSTEM button in while starting STRUCTURE SD. If STRUCTURE SD is already on, go into the SYSTEM menu and select “Open Firmware Menu”.

If you held SYSTEM down as you started STRUCTURE SD, select the first option “Firmware Menu” and select the RUN button. If you started from the SYSTEM menu, you will already be in the “Firmware Menu”.

If FIRMWARE is found on the front SDCARD, you’ll see “Structure Firmware found on SD card” You can select INSTALL NEW FIRMWARE . A list of FIRMWARE on the card will be listed, and you can select the one you want to install and select INSTALL NEW VERSION.

Once the firmware is installed, exiting out of the FIRMWARE utility will bring you into the new version of the STRUCTURE SD FIRMWARE.

(or use a different FRONT card that has no presets instead which will work fine). This also occurs if you have TXT presets since that node did not exist earlier.
