an acknowledgment to the computer. If the test was successful the message ‘Comms test
passed, now use send’ will be displayed and the display on the X-Rack should change to
read ‘se’.
If the test fails check that the correct MIDI port has been selected and that the X-Rack is in software
download mode, then repeat the test.

transferred to memory on the X-Rack. This process will take approximately 20 seconds. A progress bar and

displays will show a rotating segment.
Note. During this time it is important that power to the X-Rack is not interrupted.
