The Roland TB-3 is no longer made, but Roland can still ship firmware for it and we keep checking the official download page. One message per release. No spam, no newsletter.
1. Download the TB-3 System Update from Roland and unzip tb3_sys_v110.zip (do not rename the file).
2. Hold [KEYBOARD] and [PTN SELECT] and switch on the power.
3. Connect the TB-3 to your computer with a USB cable; [KEYBOARD] blinks and a "TB-3" drive appears.
4. Copy TB3_UPD.BIN from the tb3_sys_v110 folder to the TB-3 drive (the file only, not the folder).
5. Eject the TB-3 drive and disconnect the USB cable; [XY PLAY] lights.
6. Press [XY PLAY] to start the update. Never switch off during the update.
7. When the eight buttons between [KEYBOARD] and [PLAY/STOP] blink, the update is done ([TEMPO] blinking means an error). Switch off.
To check the version: hold [STEP REC] + [REALTIME REC] at power-on, then press [PLAY/STOP].
