X-Rack Installation and Operation
4.5 Software Download and Installation
Software to upgrade your X-Rack unit can be downloaded from the SSL website
. To access this page will you will need to be registered with us and logged into the website.
The X-Rack software is packaged as a 50kB (approximately) Java archive file, the format of which is compatible
with both PC and Macintosh (OS X only) platforms. Some users may need to install additional files on their computer
before continuing – see System Requirements overleaf.
Once the software package has been downloaded, it will need to be moved onto a Mac or PC that is connected
to the X-Rack via MIDI after which you will be ready to install the new software. The following steps detail this
process:
1. Ensure that the X-Rack is turned on and connected to a MIDI port on your PC/Mac.
2. Enter Setup mode and turn the D-Pot until the display shows ‘fl’
(‘Flash’).
Press the D-Pot and the display should change to read ‘te’ (‘Test’).
To exit from this mode without updating software turn the unit off and on.
3. Close all current applications on your PC/Mac.
4. Double click on the X-Rack Software Update File. You should see the SSL X-Rack Software Update
window appear:
5. Go to the In MIDI Port menu. Select the MIDI IN port which is connected to your X-Rack from the drop
down list. In the example shown below this was ‘port 1’ on an 8-Port interface. If nothing appears in the
list check that you have installed the files listed in the System Requirements section over leaf.
