Check out this easy video on how to do the manual SD update.

Simply download the aeros firmware .bin file and edit the name (usually something like “aeros-5.0.0.bin”) to be ”aeros.bin” before adding it to your SD card. 

Then, you have two choices: 

1. Power off your unit, insert the SD card, and power the unit back on, the Aeros will update automatically before start-up. WARNING DO NOT insert the SD card and then turn off the Aeros, as this corrupts the update file. 
2. If the manual update option 1 is not working, this may be a solution. If neither option works, please contact support@singularsound.com.

• (If on 3.0.0 or later) Insert the SD card, go to the downloads menu and hit the update button once it lights up. The Aeros will ask if you want to update, select “Yes”. If the Aeros is ON while inserting the SD card, a pop-up to update will appear if you’re on the main menu or updates screen. Select “yes” to update.

1. Update the MIDI Maestro App to the latest version in the App Store or Google Play Store
2. Turn on your MIDI Maestro and enable Pairing Mode (hold the pairing button on the back of the unit for ~1 second). A blue LED will flash once the pairing mode is turned on.
3. Go to the Hamburger menu in the app (top left) and select the Update Firmware option. Once the app has established connection you will see the MIDI Maestro blue Pairing LED stop flashing and turn solid blue.
4. Allow the process to finish, the app will show the progress. Do not close the app, put your phone to sleep, turn off the MIDI Maestro, or change to another app while this is happening or you will need to restart the process.
5. Once the firmware update is complete, you must rewrite the default modes to the device, the MIDI Maestro may turn off the BLE Pairing Mode automatically, turn the Pairing Mode back on again manually. Your MIDI Maestro screens may read ‘EEPROM INVALID’, disregard this.
6. In the app, reopen the hamburger menu and select the Update Default Modes option. Allow the process to finish, the app will show the progress. Do not close the app, put your phone to sleep, turn off the MIDI Maestro, or change to another app while this is happening or you will need to restart the process.
7. Once the update is finished, power the unit off and back on again to see the update take place. You can verify the current loaded firmware on the MIDI Maestro on the bottom left screen of the main menu.
8. Optional: Load in the custom mode currently open on the app by pressing the Upload to MIDI Maestro button in the Home screen.
