How to update the Roland MX-1

Download the MX-1 System Program from the Roland updates page and extract the zip on your computer. Hold down [TAP] and switch the MX-1 on, then connect it to the computer by USB: an "MX-1" drive appears. Copy MX-1_UPD.BIN from the extracted folder to the root of the MX-1 drive (do not copy the folder and do not rename the file). Eject the drive and disconnect the USB cable, then press [TAP] to start the update: pads 1-16 flash in sequence and "Fin" appears on the display when it is done. Turn the MX-1 off. To check the installed version, hold down [GAIN] while switching on: the version is shown as a 3-digit number (105 = 1.05). Never switch off the unit during the update.

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