The following instructions allow updating the firmware in the Turtle Beach USB
1x1 MIDI interface. The latest firmware corrects an issue found when the USB
MIDI Interface is used with some synthesizers whose MIDI output causes errors
in the recorded MIDI data. After downloading this firmware into the device,
the MIDI data errors should be corrected and the device will record properly
with the offending keyboard.

The update process requires the following files:
-  Updater.Exe: This is the program used for transferring the firmware from 
   the PC to the USB MIDI interface.
-  TBU11_ROM.BIN: This is version 0A of the firmware, current as of 11/21/2005

Procedure:
WARNING! Do not disconnect the USB cable or turn the PC power off while the
         Firmware update is running, as a failed update may render your cable
         useless.

This Firmware update should be applied only to the square shaped USB MIDI 
Cable. It does not apply to the kidney bean shaped USB MIDI Cable.  
REMEMBER: If it ain't broke don't fix it:

This procedure assumes the USB MIDI interface has already been installed on
the PC used for updating the firmware. The entire procedure should not take
more than 30 seconds. 

1.  Double-click on the file usb_000a.zip. The zip file should open with the
    Windows Extraction Wizard or whatever application you have installed that
    handles ZIP files. Select the option to extract all files. The Windows 
    Extraction Wizard will give you the option to extract to your desired 
    directory. Extract them to your Desktop or the 'My Documents' folder so 
    you'll remember where they are. Make sure that both files are extracted 
    to the same directory. The name of the created directory by default will
    be MidiFix_Test001.

2.  Insert the USB MIDI interface into the USB port.

3.  When the systray icon changes from a TB Palm Tree to the "green light"
    icon, launch Updater.Exe by double clicking the icon in the directory
    listing.

4.  From the Updater screen, click on the Turtle Beach USB MIDI 1x1 device
    from the displayed list. If it is not listed, check that the device has
    been installed properly, then return to this screen.

5.  Note the Device Version. Version 0009 is the original firmware and 000a
    is the new firmware. If it shows 000a, there is no need to update the
    firmware. If it shows 0009, click the update button.

6.  The firmware will begin to download and when completed, it will reset 
    the device.

7.  After the download and reset is complete, click on the Turtle Beach icon
    in the systray and select MIDI Activity from the pop up list. This will 
    activate the MIDI activity screen, showing the status of MIDI input and 
    output on 16 MIDI channels.

8.  Plug the USB MIDI Interface MIDI Input (Blue) to the synthesizer MIDI
    output and play the keyboard. You should see one of the channel lights 
    flash as you play the keyboard. This indicates that the interface is 
    working properly.
