Boss VF-1 Effect Processor

Below you can read the textfile belonging to the upgrade.
I upgraded my VF-1 a couple weeks ago, this textfile came along with the
download of 15 midifiles, yes 15.
I quess there is no Standard Midi File nr. 15, the text mentions in the 3rd
sentence (see below):"The updated software is provided as 15 Standard Midi
Files".

Along with this text file I dowloaded 15 midifiles, nr. 1-14 and 16.
I've used them and I've upgraded succesfully my VF-1 version 1.00 to 1.12.
