BACKUP allows saving all the Snapshots, Shows and Effects’ Patches from your mixer into a USB stick inserted in the M 18.

READ THIS FIRST

You may need to perform a two-step firmware update, depending on firmware version currently installed on your M18 unit. If you current firmware version is 187 or earlier, please update to version 221 first. Then, after power cycling the unit, you can perform the desired firmware update to version 226. Here is a summary of required actions, depending on your current firmware version:

  • 177 ->update to 221 first -> update to 226
  • 182 -> update to 221 first -> update to 226
  • 203 -> update to 226
  • 221 -> update to 226
  • 222 -> update to 226
    •

    We strongly advise NOT to perform a firmware downgrade (that is, with a version which is earlier than the one you currently have on your system). Therefore, do not perform an update to 221 if you already have 222 or 226.

    You can find the 221 package here
