Boss released system program Ver.1.10 for the FS-1-WL in December 2024, according to the update history on its support page1. The release expands the range of MIDI CC numbers that can be assigned to control an external device1.
The update history lists a single improvement for Ver.1.It is now possible to assign any MIDI CC number (0 to 127) to control an external device."1
"The MIDI CC number range has been expanded. It is now possible to assign any MIDI CC number (0–127) to control an external device."
The same change appears in the update history for the EV-1-WL expression pedal, which lists Ver.1.10 in December 2024 with the identical wording2. The EV-1-WL page also lists Ver.1.10b in December 2024, described as improved stability of the update process and noted as the same program as Ver.1.102. The FS-1-WL page does not list a Ver.1.10b entry1.
Boss lists the following requirements for updating the FS-1-WL1:
| Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Unit | FS-1-WL |
| Cable | USB cable (sold separately) |
| Computer | USB 2.0 or USB 3.0 port (Windows/Mac) |
| Software | SMF Player, UpdSMF for Windows or macOS/OS X |
| Power | AC adapter: PSA series (sold separately) |
Boss states that USB bus power is not supported and that an AC adapter or new alkaline batteries should be used to avoid losing power during the update1. The version can be checked in the FS-1-WL Editor by opening MENU and then VERSION1. Boss also states that inquiries about update operating procedures are not supported1.
The FS-1-WL is a MIDI-capable footswitch; related gear is covered under MIDI pedals.
