10.1 Updating the Voyager Operating System
First make certain that MIDI connections are established and the correct MIDI Out port is selected (See MIDI
Setup, page 6). To update the Voyager’s OS, you use the update function located in the Moog Voyager menu:
The file dialog will prompt you to open a System Exclusive file (.syx) containing the software update. You will
need to locate and select the update file. When you open the file, the following message box will appear:
Note: Some MIDI interfaces use different buffer sizes (normally between 128-65535 bytes), which could
result in buffer errors when large messages like the OS update are transferred. To compensate for this,
the transmitted packet size can be adjusted here to a higher or lower value. By changing the packet size,
large SysEx messages can be converted into more manageable pieces for data transfer. The packet size
should be only adjusted if the Voyager reports a checksum error after the SysEx transfer is completed.
Now set up the Voyager to receive the update:
1. Press the MASTER button on the Voyager and scroll down to select "Receive Update"
2. Press the ENTER button and the following message on the Voyager’s LCD will appear:
This will delete
the Operating System!
Are you SURE?
YES / NO
3. Use the Cursor button to select YES and press the Enter button. The Voyager is now ready to receive
the update files.
