| − | <small>'''Disclaimer:''' Of considerable importance is the fact that the Editor is officially in it's beta stage for the Standard version of the Axe. The Ultra specific version will be completed at a future date. The Standard Version does however function rather well with the Ultra. It is also important to match Editor version with firmware version to insure function compatibility. Further understanding that since the Axe itself is in constant refinement and development stage therefore so is the Editor. As would be expected you use this product at your own risk preferrably with proper backup strategy.</small>

You may download the most recent [http://home.c2i.net/chingeling/Java.html Java software]. If you double-click the .jar file and it does not auto-install chances are good that you do not have the proper Java installed.
