Zoom B1Xon Guitar Pedal Firmware 1.21 for Mac OS Description

Updating the firmware

Before updating the firmware, if any MIDI or audio devices are connected by USB cable to the Mac you are using, disconnect them all. In addition, if any applications are running, quit them all.

1. When the B1Xon power is OFF, while pressing and holding both its up and down keys, connect its USB port and the computer with a USB cable. This operation puts the B1Xon into a state ready to receive a firmware update, and its display shows a firmware update standby screen.
2. Double-click the firmware update application icon to launch it.
3. Confirm that “ZOOM MS Series” appears in both the “Input Device” and “Output Device” fields. If it does not, click the field to open a list of MIDI devices and select “ZOOM MS Series.”
4. Click the Execute button to start the firmware update.
Do not disconnect the USB cable while the firmware is being updated.

About Device Firmware:

Applying a newer firmware version than the one already installed on your unit can bring various enhancements, include workarounds for diverse problems encountered by the device, and improve or add newly developed features.

On the other hand, downgrading the firmware version can recover the device’s functionality in the event of a software update either turning up faulty or causing the unit’s overall performance to drop. However, bear in mind that applying an older firmware isn’t recommended and might not always be possible.

When it comes to the update steps, due to the large variety of devices and numerous ways for installing a new firmware, it is recommended that you carefully read and understand the upgrade steps, and consider applying a different firmware only when you have familiarized yourself with the update method.

As the installation process is most of the times quite risky, this step should be taken by users that have the ability to successfully complete the update; regular users may initiate it at their own risk. Moreover, it’s best that this task be performed in a steady power environment such as the one ensured by a UPS unit.

Therefore, if you consider applying this release, hit the download button, take into account all the aforementioned aspects, and update the device’s firmware. Also make sure you constantly check with our website to ensure that you don’t miss a single new release. 

  It is highly recommended to always use the most recent driver version available.

Try to set a system restore point before installing a device driver. This will help if you installed an incorrect or mismatched driver. Problems can arise when your hardware device is too old or not supported any longer.
