2 Warranty
As this is a non commercial product I can give you no warranty. But I will help you with your problems and
support firmware updates if necessary.
Every ProBox that is delivered is tested for their 100% functionality. How is this done?
I’ve developed a testprogram that checks all communication commands on all four USB ports and the serial
connection to the d8b console. E.g. if you press a button on your d8b it sends out a command via the serial
connection to the probox. The probox translates that to a midi command on USB1-4 and sends this out. All
commands that were supported by the ProBox are checked via this testprogram for every single command. So
you can be sure that you received a 100% working unit.
