How to Update the FIT Controller with latest Firmware

Aug 27, 2024

When the FIT Controller is powered on on, the screen above the master fader will display the currently installed firmware version number:

  • Revision 1 FIT controllers were shipped with v1.x.x firmware.
  • Revision 2 FIT controllers are shipped with V2.x.x firmware.

There is no difference in functionality between the revisions.

Learn how to update your Waves MidiPlus FIT controller’s firmware to the latest available version.

This firmware includes fader timing optimizations & general improvements.

  1. Make sure that your MidiPlus FIT is powered on and connected to your computer via USB.
  2. Quit eMotion LV1.
  3. Download the MidiPlus Updater for FIT:
  4. Unzip the downloaded file.
  5. Launch the MIDIPlus_Updater app or exe file.
    Windows will prompt that this application is ‘unrecognized’.
    Simply click ‘More Info’ > Run anyway.
  6. Once launched, click Browse.
  7. Select the .dfu firmware file in the un-zipped folder.
  8. Click Update
  9. Once the update has finished, quit the updater.
  10. Power cycle the Waves MidiPlus FIT

Once the unit powers up, it will display the new firmware version and the relevant mode that FIT is currently on. To learn more about switching between different modes according to your needs, please refer to Page 3 of the FIT user guide. Note that HUI/Mackie modes are available since v1.1.6.
