Minitaur screwed up after firmware update
Posted: Sat Jun 13, 2015 12:08 pm
OK, this is not going very well at all...
Had my Minitaur for two years. Always worked as it should.
After I finally got my Sub Phatty editor to work, I got inspired and thought I´d do the same for the Minitaur.
I started by updating the firmware (from Moog Website).
Then I got the editor.
I could control the parameters of the Minitaur fron the editor but I had the "famous" "Hardware disconnect" on the editor.
OK, So I thought I ´d try out the different presets by selecting them from the Minitaur. That didn´t work. It was always the same sound that I programmed. OK, maybe it didn´t update the firmware properly. I tried again, same thing.
I read the thread http://forum.moogmusic.com/viewtopic.ph ... 0&start=75
where everybody had the hardware disconnect problem. So I downloaded the new driver Andy Hughes provided and Installed that.
Now I couldn´t even control the parameters of the Minitaur from the editor like I could before the new driver installation.
Then I updated the firmware once again but now from the same folder as the new USB driver (Minitaur_USB_test.zip)
I noticed that the Minitaur reacted differently when I did the update this time, it seemed that it got it right.
So start playing it and there is a different sound.
BUT, the pitch is totally scewed up. It´s like 2 1/2 octaves below normal pitch. A low C on the Minitaur is a G on the Sub Phatty two octaves up. More strange things:
1. The range is now only ONE octave, then it repeats. When I play VCO 1 chromatically up from C and play next semitone C#, that sounds one octave below as the rest of the following notes. Thsis repeats for each octave.
On VCO 2, same thing but, the octave below thing starts on D as opposed to C# on VCO 1.
2. When I turn the VCO 2 Freq knob and reach about "+1.5)", The pitch drops one octave. When I continue to turn the knob the pitch raises gradually and when I reach "+7", the pitch is back at its original octave (as it is on "0")
If I turn the knob the other way around, the pitch falls as it should, but when I reach "-5", the pitch goes up one octave as it was on +-0.
Boy, I really regret starting to mess with this.
Before, I had no patches and editing capabilities...but a working Minitaur
Now I have the same with a non working Minitaur
What to do?
Is there a hard reset?
