Boss VF-1 Effect Processor

Hi there,


The only thing I can think of at the moment is to try the update again.
Or did you do that already ?
But I really can't say if this will help, or maybe even damage the Boss 
(wich I really don't know but don't think it can do much harm, but I am 
not a midi-nerd-techie).

Maybe try from another computer.
What midi interface are you using ?

It's too long ago since I did the update to rembeber-know the exact 
procedure.
But I do remember vaquely you could do the the update with  a player 
Boss provided.
I think that's what you have tried, the UPDsmf thing.

Did you connect both midi in and out, don't know if this was 
recomended-necessary though.

But if i remember oke there  also should be a possibility to do the 
update playing the (midi ?) files in a sequencer like Cubase or Sonar.
In that case it could be helpfull to set the BPM to a lower value as 
120, something like 80.
And make sure the VF-1 is connected straight with the computer, no other 
midi devices in between.

I did not check anything of the above things on the Internet, I am just 
typing what I can remember at the moment.
Give us an URL from the site you dowloaded the files so I can take a 
look there  (much) later today, I am going to bed, it's 03.00 at the moment.

Succes,

Sjaak
