How to update the Yamaha Reface CS

Download the reface CS/DX updater for Mac or Windows from Yamaha and unzip it. Switch the reface CS off, connect the AC adaptor and connect it to the computer with a USB cable. Hold the F#3, A3 and C#4 keys while switching it on: the Multi-saw lamp of the OSC section lights up (update mode). Launch the reface updater app, set MIDI Port to "reface" and click Start; the OSC lamps light up one after another from bottom to top. When all OSC lamps and the LOOPER REC and PLAY lamps light up, the update is complete: quit the updater and restart the reface CS.
