FIRMWARE UPGRADE PDF

Welcome to the Vyzex MPD32 Firmware Upgrade PDF. This is the very first release of the software, so please remember to check back at the Akai Professional website (www.akaipro.com) for updates to the program and to this document.
Why do I need to upgrade my MPD32 firmware?
Periodically, Akai Professionals engineers come across ways to improve their products: This can be in response to feature requests, it could be in performance enhancements or it could also be to apply bug fixes. When this occurs, the updated firmware is released from the Akai Professional website in the form of a downloadable archive that users unpack and download to their instrument according to the instructions supplied with the firmware file. When you update your products firmware to the latest version you get the best possible feature-set coupled with the most stable and reliable operation, so its almost always a good idea to upgrade your products firmware when a new release becomes available. You can find out your current MPD32 firmware by pressing the GLOBAL button on MPD32s front panel and then the > key 10 times until you see Ver X.XX in the LCD display. As of the writing of this document, the current MPD32 version is 1.00, and this is the version that Vyzex MPD32 is certified to work with. If you do not find any greater revision of the MPD32 firmware available from the Akai Professional website, dont worry: This simply means you dont need to upgrade your firmware and can forget about this PDF document until such time as a new MPD32 firmware version is released.
How do I upgrade my MPD32 firmware?

STEP 1: Sanity Check

First you should ensure that Vyzex MPD32 is correctly installed and working without issues to edit your MPD32. Although you can use third party tools1 to upgrade MPD32s firmware, the Vyzex MPD32 program has the facility to download firmware upgrades to your MPD32: Obviously, if Vyzex is not able to communicate with your MPD32 beforehand it is likely that the problem will also be present for the upgrade attempt. You should quit any MIDI port using music software you have running before you launch Vyzex MPD32 to begin the upgrade process This will avoid any possible conflicts between Vyzex and your other MIDI software.
like Jamie OConnells MIDI OX on Windows XP/Vista or SNOIZEs SysEx Librarian on Mac OSX Vyzex MPD32 Firmware Upgrade PDF
Now unzip the downloaded firmware update to your computers desktop and confirm there is a SYX file inside. Always read the accompanying doc or text file for special information regarding the new firmware, and if everything is in order you can proceed with the update. Extract this SYX file to your desktop. MPD32 now must ERASE its current firmware and be put in a special upgrade mode: This will shut down the normal USB MIDI Ports that MPD32 presents to your computers operating system and will open up a specialized USB MIDI Port to receive the update from Vyzex. Always close the software before proceeding with the MPD32 erase and restart procedure!
STEP 2: Erase & Restart MPD32
Now that the Vyzex MPD32 application has been closed, you can unplug MPD32s USB cable and reconnect it while holding down three of the five front panel transport bar buttons at the same time. The buttons to hold down are <<, STOP, & REC as shown here:
MPD32 will now power-up displaying the following on its front panel LCD display:

Upgrade

ERASE OK?

PRESS ENTER

This is your last chance to change your mind about upgrading the firmware: Once you press MPD32s front panel rotary encoder ENTER button, your MPD32 wont have any firmware until you load the new version, so be sure you are ready before proceeding. It may be stating the obvious here, but your MPD32 will not work without firmware, so once you press that button there is no turning back from the upgrade! When you press ENTER, MPD32 will display ERASING OS momentarily and then will inform you it is ready to proceed with the update by displaying the following on its front panel display:

00 SEND SYSEX

Now its time to re-open the Vyzex MPD32 editor program and use it to download the new firmware file.

STEP 3: Download the firmware upgrade with Vyzex MPD32

Vyzex MPD32 has the ability to download any standard SYX file to your instrument. While this feature is normally used to restore preset backups made with other third-party MIDI utilities such as Midi OX or SysEx Librarian, it also works to send firmware updates to MPD32 that are packaged as SYX files. If you are using Vyzex MPD32 in its default configuration, it will still work to download SYX files without any changes to the program preferences. There will be some dialogs to dismiss however and operations to cancel when the program fires up. This will not affect the firmware update procedure. Launch Vyzex MPD32. When you launch the program, click on the splash screen to clear it away. Vyzex will now attempt to autosense your MPD32 like it normally does at this point, and this process will not succeed because MPD32 is now dedicated to upgrading its firmware:
This is not an issue, so theres no need to worry about it. Next, Vyzex will attempt to upload the current data from your MPD32. Once again, MPD32 will not respond since it is awaiting firmware from you. Press the Cancel All button to exit from the transfer screen.
You should now see the Vyzex GUI appear with an empty bank loaded:
If you are following along with your MPD32, you are now ready to choose the firmware file.
2. Open the MIDI->Transmit MIDIX (.SYX) File Dialog
When you select the MIDI->Transmit MIDIX (.SYX) item from the applications menu, a file dialog will open prompting you to select the firmware SYX file. If youve followed the earlier instruction and already extracted the SYX upgrade file to your desktop you are mostly there: Click on the desktop icon to Navigate to the file and click on it to select it as shown:
MPD32s display should now read 00 RECEIVING. Its time to give it something: Click the Choose MIDIX File to Send? Dialogs Open button (shown above) to proceed and watch your MPD32s LCD display closely! 3. Witness the Upgrade in Progress MPD32s typical firmware file is quite large by SYX standards, and will take some time for your computer to send to the instrument: Once Vyzex has sent the firmware message out however, your computers OS takes over the task of piping the data into MPD32. Unfortunately Vyzex does not get any feedback from the OS when this happens so there is no status bar to display in the softwares GUI. Not to worry: This is what MPD32s front panel LCD is for.

Now turn your attention to MPD32s LCD display: It should be actively spinning along, reporting the current status of the update. When the download completes successfully you will see the following message on MPD32s front panel display:

XX DONE

Where XX could be any number depending on your firmware upgrade level. Before you press the ENTER button on MPD32s front panel, however you should close the program. This last step is important since MPD32s update USB MIDI Port will be disconnected as soon as you press enter, and you dont want Vyzex running when this happens. You may have to select No from a dialog and wait a few more seconds but Vyzex should shut down eventually. If you get any error messages and the firmware upgrade fails, do not worry. You can always try again from the Erase and Restart step on page 4. If you still cant get the firmware upgrade to take, please contact Akai Tech Support for additional help (http://www.akaipro.com).
4. Reboot MPD32 Then Restart Vyzex Once you press the ENTER button, your MPD32 will reboot itself with the new firmware. You can now relaunch the Vyzex MPD32 software and get back to editing presets!
This concludes the Vyzex MPD32 Firmware Upgrade PDF Manual. As mentioned earlier on, its a good idea for you to also read the companion PDF manuals like the Vyzex MPD32 Quick-Start, Vyzex MPD32 Users Guide and Preset Management with Vyzex MPD32 for a more complete view of how the editor operates. Just as with this document, these PDFs are also accessible from the programs Manuals pull down menu.

USING THE MPD32 WITH ARTURIA SYNTHS
We have made a template file for most of the popular Arturia synths that all work in conjunction with the Arturia Preset on the MPD32. Each Arturia synth has its own MIDI Map file that will automatically assign the functions within that synth. This file is named controlMIDI. Each synths controlMIDI file needs to be copied to the following folder so that the mapping will work. Be aware that writing over the existing controlMIDI file will change any custom MIDI learn mappings you have made.

USING THE MPD32 WITH FL STUDIO 7
We have included a template for use with FL Studio 7 (PC only). To install the template, run the INSTALL.BAT file located on the CD and follow the on-screen instructions; this will automatically place the template file in the FL Studio Templates folder. Once you have completed the installation process, open up FL Studio 7 and go to File | New From Template | Akai | MPD32 to begin using the template. The first 16 pads (bank A) have been mapped as a Layer track in FL Studio. To change the samples to your own, select Show Children in the Channel Settings window. The FL Studio template is mapped so pad 1 on bank C plays samples at their original pitch. Each fader and knob is set for a range of 0-126, to allow for centering. For best results, set the MPD32s clock to External.

USING THE MPD32 WITH FXPANSION GURU
Fxpansions Guru software is a very flexible and creative tool for making all kinds of beats and grooves. Guru comes preset with default MIDI note and controller note mappings that serve a bunch of different purposes. Notes can be set to trigger sounds, map a sound chromatically and play it from a keyboard, trigger different patterns and trigger different scenes. There are 8 MIDI controllers that are set up for using with the individual voice engines called Pad Groups, and 8 more that are setup to be used with any of the the FX Group. Reference the Guru manual to see how to assign these functions to the different parameters. We have supplied a preset that makes use of the most used functions of Guru. This preset is meant to be used with GURUs GENERIC CONTROLLER map in the OPTIONS menu. KEYBOARD The keyboard is set to trigger pads from middle C up 16 notes. The default is set to control ENGINE 1 on MIDI Channel 1. By editing the keyboard MIDI channel, you can select which voice engine you are controlling. We set middle C to be the pads so that if you have Pattern keys play selected pad chromatically in the OPTIONS/MIDI page, you will then hear the currently selected pad played chromatically on the bottom two octaves of the keyboard. If you press the OCTAVE UP button twice, the drum pads will play on the lowest 16 notes of the keyboard and the notes from middle C up will trigger different SCENES. TRANSPORT Controls GURU makes use of MMC for its transport controls. If you have the latest version of Guru it will automatically make use of MMC messages. GURU makes use of the << REW command and assigns it to the COMMIT function and the >> FF command and assigns it to the UNDO function. MIDI Controllers We have created 3 different options for continuous controller mapping with GURU. Since the MIDI controllers are color coded in Guru we will call them as follows: Red = 1 Orange = 2 Yellow = 3 Green = 4 Lt Blue = 5 Blue = 6 Purple = 7 Grey = 8 Controller Bank A Knobs 1- 8 - Pad Group 1-8 Sliders 1- 8 - FX Group 1-8 Switches 1- 4 Pad Group 5-8 Switches 5-8 FX Group 5-8 Controller Bank B (Knobs and Sliders in Controller Bank B are reversed from Controller Bank A) Knobs 1- 8 - FX Group 1-8 Sliders 1- 8 - Pad Group 1-8 Switches 1- 4 Pad Group 5-8 Switches 5-8 FX Group 5-8 Controller Bank C (Knobs and sliders are split so that you get 4 knobs and 4 sliders for each Group.) Knobs 1- 4 - Pad Group 1-4 Knobs 5- 8 - FX Group 1-4 Sliders 1- 4 - Pad Group 1-4 Sliders 5- 8 - FX Group 5-8 Switches 1- 4 Pad Group 5-8 Switches 5-8 FX Group 5-8 PADS We have purposely left the pad mapping to be chromatic. The pads can be customized for so many uses in Guru that we didnt want to make them too specialized. Currently the 12 pads in bank A and Pads 1-4 in bank B will normally play the Guru pads. We left these set to the COMMON channel so that you could quickly change them to different voice engines by changing the COMMON channel in the GLOBAL menu. But depending on how you are using Guru you may want to change the pad note and channel mappings. For instance: Recording patterns - you may want to leave the way they are. This will allow you to play your drum sounds and allow you to shift engines via changing the Common channel. Playing Live you may want to assign the pads to different MIDI channels and notes so as to trigger SCENES or PATTERNS in a real0time DJ style work flow.

USING THE MPD32 WITH ARKAOS VJ
Arkaos is a visual effects program that allows you to trigger video, still and flash clips from a MIDI source. This program is and other VJ applications are actually very well suited for using the MPD32.

This preset is not specific to Arkaos but is designed to allow you to quickly customize your Arkaos presets. Keyboard The keyboard is set to the COMMON MIDI channel and has a range from C1 to C5 on Arkaos. The keyboard is well suited for momentarily triggering video clips or effects. You can use the keyboards ARPEGGIATOR and LATCH function to automatically have it cycle through a range of clips. Pads The pads have been programmed to be latched or toggled on and off. This allows you to assign backgrounds, overlay clips or fx that will run until you hit the pad a second time to turn it off. You can use the NOTE REPEAT function to retrigger your video at timed intervals. By playing with the GATE TIME on NOTE REPEAT you can set how long the note stays on before retriggering. By setting a short GATE TIME the clip or effect will flash on and then off quickly. With a long GATE TIME of 99, the note off and note on are very close so it looks like the clip is looping. Controllers the controllers are set from 1 72. They are numbered left to right, top to bottom. i.e. Controller Bank A Knobs 1-8 are = MIDI CC 1-8, the sliders are 9-16, the switches are 17-24. The MPD32 makes a great VJ controller. Dig in and discover the possibilities.
