Chris, I am excited about your new Code61.... I know it is a great controller...

Why no one else has commented on your excitement... who knows..

They talk for weeks over a nothing picture of the Yamaha offering, but show no interest in the Code61..

Our Code61 allow us to play far superior sounds (VST) than we have in our keyboards.. yet still no interest..

As for the software updates... your fresh new Code61 was already in the delivery system when the new firmware were released (Sept8, 2017)..

The new release was to optimize the Code to the VIP 3.0 software..

BTW: you will also need to update the Code61 editor, the old version will not work with the new firmware..

I updated both on my Code61..
