How to update the Korg Volca Keys

Download the volca keys System Updater from Korg and unzip it: it contains the update audio file. Power the volca keys with the AC adapter or fresh batteries and connect the audio output of a computer or audio player to its SYNC IN jack with a stereo mini-jack cable; never play the file through speakers or headphones. Turn the volca keys on while holding MEMORY and PLAY (the DETUNE, CUTOFF and ATTACK knobs light up), then play the audio file from the beginning with the volume turned up and no other sounds playing. The STEP LEDs show the progress; do not stop playback or switch the unit off until the update has finished, then turn it off and on again.
