II. Firmware Update for Windows - Procedure
--------------------------------------------

> Supported OS versions: Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10.

> Not supported OS versions: Windows XP, Vista.


1. Download and extract the zip file for Windows PC from the MOTR product page (under "Downloads > Firmware").

2. Double-click on "MotorKeyboardUpdate_V0.3" to start the updater application.

3. Look in the upper right corner of the PC app display, and confirm that your model has been recognized and is shown in "Update Mode".
   (If it is not in Update Mode, please power off the keyboard, and set it in UPDATE mode again, as shown in Preparation, Step 3 above.)

4. Press the large button in the PC app display: "click to update USB MIDI device software".

5. When the update procedure has finished, the keyboard will re-start with the new firmware.

6. Click "OK" on the PC app and close it.

III. Notes regarding Firmware 1.091
-----------------------------------

1. This firmware is identically to firmware 1.086 - apart from the velocity curves.

2. The new velocity curves are updated for the balance between black and white keys, 
   and for the sensitivity of all 3 curves SOFT, MEDIUM, HARD.

3. If you feel well with the existing velocity curves of firmware 1.086,
   there is no need to update.

4. If you feel that the updated velocity curves are no improvement for your playing feeling,
   you can easily go back from firmware 1.091 to the previous 1.086 (see II. above for details).
