How to update the Korg Volca Sample

Download the volca sample System Updater from the Korg support page and unzip it. Connect the audio output of a computer or audio player to the SYNC IN jack with a stereo mini-jack cable (never play the update file through speakers or headphones). Power the volca sample with the KA-350 adapter or fresh batteries and turn it on while holding FUNC and PLAY: the display shows "UPdt". Play the update WAV file from the beginning with the volume turned up and do not use the computer during playback. When "End" appears, turn the power off.

Just for reference. For complete and up-to-date instructions, always refer to the manufacturer's official firmware page.
