• E-MU Xboard 25, Xboard 49, or Xboard 61.

Before you download:
This Update Package is now a Full Installer (application, driver and firmware). It does not require that you had previously installed the software from an original Xboard Installer CD, but only that your system meets the minimum requirements.

Before you install:

• If you have experienced a fault in any audio application, you should reboot Windows before applying this update
• Exit all applications before installing these updates
• This installer will automatically uninstall any older versions of software before installing the new version.

Installation Instruction:
To install the Application, Driver and Firmware:

1. Connect your Xboard and turn it on
2. Run the self-extracting installer
3. Follow the instructions shown in the Installer
4. When the Firmware Updater dialog box appears, select the
   device you want to update, and click Update.
   Note: DO NOT unplug the Xboard during the firmware update
5. Once calibration finishes, click Exit
6. When the Found New Hardware Wizard appears, click Cancel.

Note: A small number of Xboard 25/49 may encounter difficulties such as blank screen or incorrect knob response after installing the firmware. If you encounter this problem, you should re-initialize the Xboard's UART calibration.
To Reset the UART Calibration:

1. Connect your Xboard and turn it on
2. Press the Home, Edit, Patch Select, and MIDI Channel buttons at once.
   The LEDs on the Xboard will flash, and the Display will say "Good" repeatedly. Moving a continuous controller or the data slider clears this message.
   
   If the display says "bAd", you should try this process again until a "Good" message appears. If, after several attempts, it still says "bAd", you may have a hardware problem, and should contact E-MU Technical Support at:
