Hello beta group !

Please see Sub Phatty Editor v2.0.0b4, including a fix for few changes:

Changed: VI should only respond to program changes on the midi channel selected in PREF (Echo Midi On mode)
Fixed: Protools hangs when relocating SPHE between FX slots (update: verification fails)
Fixed: Amplifier/Filter “hidden” (bottom) area doesn’t work properly - note that this section didn’t work at all on latest beta, and it’s expected to work perfectly now. Let us know if you have any problem.

Please download, install, and report any issues.

Firmware v2.1.12 (unchanged):
http://www.moogconnect.net/downloads/subphatty/Sub_Phatty_Firmware_Beta_v2.1.12.zip

IMPORTANT: You must first check for the current SPH firmware version by loading the Editor and looking at the firmware version number in the PREF page. If it says 2.x, you can install the new firmware. If it’s 1.x, please check for your unit’s serial number. If it’s #2892 or lower, DO NOT update your Sub Phatty firmware, as it requires also updating the bootloader.

Windows Drivers:
v3.30.0 (Windows 7 and up): http://www.moogconnect.net/downloads/subphatty/Moog_Sub_Phatty_USB_DriverSetup_v3.30.0.zip
v2.23.0 (Vista or XP): http://www.moogconnect.net/downloads/subphatty/Moog_Sub_Phatty_USB_DriverSetup_v2.23.0.zip
*Please note the driver should be installed only once upgrading the firmware.

NOTE: With the new dedicated driver for the Minitaur posted, there is no need anymore of the generic moog USB driver and it should be removed/uninstalled. Please uninstall any existing generic moog driver from “Programs and Features” (Control Panel), and manually delete the files “moogusbmidi_x64.sys” and “moogusbmidiks_x64” in “Windows\system32\drivers”, before installing this driver.

Updating the firmware:

  1. Connect your Sub Phatty to your computer using a USB cable. Connect it directly, and not using any USB hub.
  2. Turn the Sub Phatty on. Push HARD SYNC and PITCH AMT and while holding them both, push ACTIVE PANEL twice. If you push it only once, the update won’t work.
  3. LFO RATE indicator should blink slowly. This means that the Phatty is now ready to receive the new firmware.
  4. Load the C6 sysex program.
  5. Configure C6 midi ports so they point to Sub Phatty In/Out (“CONFIG”)
  6. Load the firmware syx file into C6 (“LOAD”)
  7. Mark the syx file by clicking it once, and then click “SEND”
  8. MIDI LED should now flash slowly. If it flashes very fast it means that the Phatty receives midi, but not updating the firmware. In this case turn the Phatty off and back on, and repeat the 3-button push scenario.
  9. Once the update completes, the Phatty should restart itself automatically. That means the new firmware is now updated.
  10. Run the Sub Phatty Editor and check for the firmware version by clicking on “PREF”. It should now say 2.1.12. If it says anything other than “2.1.12”, it means that the firmware is not successfully updated, and you need to repeat the process again.

Installing the Windows driver:

  1. Power off your Sub Phatty and disconnect its USB cable
  2. In case you do not have any Minitaur in your system, uninstall any existing generic moog USB driver and manually delete the files moogusbmidi_x64.sys and moogusbmidiks_x64 from Windows\system32\drivers. Do NOT remove any existing Sub 37 drivers.
  3. Restart your computer
  4. Power on the Sub Phatty, connect the USB cable and let Windows auto-detect and install the default SPH driver. This may take a few minutes so be patient.
  5. Once detected, install the new Sub Phatty driver. The installer should load two popup windows, asking to confirm the driver components. Mark the checkboxes in those popups, and let it complete. If asked by the installer to disconnect and reconnect the cable, please do so.
  6. Restart your computer
  7. Check your Device Manager settings. There should be separate entries for the Sub Phatty, and also the Sub 37, in case one is present is your system. The entries should appear under the root tree, with no exclamation mark in them.
  8. Open the Editor, click the PREF button and select “moog Sub Phatty In/Out” from the Midi Input and Output menus. To sync all preset, click the GET button.

Thanks for your cooperation!

Hi
In Bitwig 2.1.1 both VST´s does not open or even start.

Iam running the SubPhatty on Firmware 2.1.12 which works very good for me.
But the SubPhatty Editor does not work. My old standalone Editor 1.1.0 is working.
Bitwig is scanning the VST and does not come to an end.

Iam using Windows 10 64 Bit - Bitwig 2.1.1 - Motu Ultralie MK3 via USB -
AMD 8x4Ghz - 16 GB RAM DDR3

Please test it. Demo Bitwig https://www.bitwig.com/en/download.html

Best regards

Hi installed here and seems to be working fine.

Thanks,

Are you confident it does load and operate in 1.1.0 but not in 2.0.0b4 ?

Will check into this.

The old one worked. I will test it again today and will report here.

Thank you

I checked/tested all variants in Bitwig in both OSX and Windows and they loaded and connected. There must be something wrong with either installation/configuration that makes it not load in your environment. Can you manually remove all SPHE components and reinstall? Will post a 2.0.0b5 in a short moment.
