Browser Requirements for Firmware Updates

Orchid uses a modern, browser-based update process called WebMIDI, which allows the firmware site to communicate directly with your device.

• Browser Requirements: The updater requires a browser that supports WebMIDI. This includes Google Chrome, Brave, Opera, and other Chromium-based browsers. 
   
• The Process:
  1. Connect your Orchid to your computer via USB-C. When prompted on your Orchid to select the USB mode, use the Options dial to select "Enable USB MIDI".
  2. Open the firmware update page: firmware.telepathicinstruments.com
  3. If you are visiting the page for the first time, your browser will show a pop-up asking for permission to "access MIDI devices" on the page. You must click Allow.
  4. The website will then detect your Orchid.
  5. Click the "Start Update" button to begin.
      
• Important: To prevent errors, keep your browser tab open on the firmware page and avoid switching tabs during the update process.
