EX me please

[TrancePacific]

I attempted to upgrade To the ex os using the Roland SMF player and was unsuccessful. I was able to install the 1.05 os using my M-Audio Delta 1010lt and it worked fine but when loading the EX midi data when transmitted it does not recognize or reply back to the SMF player.

I did the listed procedure:

1. Connect a MIDI cable between the MIDI OUT connector of a
MIDI Sequencer that can play back SMF data, and the]
MIDI IN connector of SP-808. It is convenient to use a
MIDI Sequencer such as a SB-55 sound brush that can play
back SMF's continuously.
2. Power on while holding down [STATUS (TRACK SELECT)]
and [EFFECTS (BAL/EQ/FX)] above Fader A. "Waiting MIDI... "
will be displayed.
3. Play back the SMF data in order number 1 to 8. While the
data is being received "Receiving.. (x/8)" will be displayed
and the pad indicator (PAD) blinks. ("x" is the SMF data
number being received.)
4. When all of SMF data is received "Update System? (Y/N)"]
will appear in the display. Press [ENTER/YES].

NOTE: Never turn the power off while the message
"* KEEP POWER ON *"is being displayed.

5. When "Update Complete" and "You may TURN OFF" appear on
the display, turn the power off and turn it on again.


If somebody could send me the EX os file info I want to attempt to upgrade via Zip. My last 808 was already EX'd and im hurtin to use those effects so hook it up. My email is [email protected] Thanks.

I would also love a hook-up on the EX tip... I picked up an 808 a couple months ago and have been loving it, but am also really excited at the prospect of upgrading the OS. If someone in the know can PM a little 808 love my way, I'd be stoked.

Sorry I can't help out, TrancePacific... and not trying to jack your thread at all homie... (hook Trance up first! ).
