Ok, thanks in advance for those that are will to help us newbies. I have downloaded the XL_3.6_Beta from the links provided above. Expanding the download I get four files, XL_Bank_360_A, B, C and D, with a May 30, 2016 file date.
What exactly are contained in these files. I am assuming a beta update to the OS. Do these represent also represent patch files as well or is that just a peculiarity in the nomenclature. I know this is probably very elemental but I am new to the Moog world with my XL and I want to be very careful as I do not want to do anything to “Brick” my synth.
Also is there any outline or “How To” regarding the update procedure. I do appreciate any and all guidance.
One more question, and thanks for everyones indulgence, can you revert to OS Version 3.5 if you have version 3.6 installed? I am having and issue with the “Edit” button on my XL not working and thinking is might be a OS/software issue. Thanks everyone again.
Thanks RL! I’m going to run the update this morning. Strange, LivePsy ran the update as B-D-A-C and it worked. Your instructions from that 2014 post says to run B-A-C-D. Does it matter?
No, when there’s no ERROR message after power on everything is fine.
The Voyager always checks the OS files A,C and D after power on and if there would be a wrong bit you would see an error after power on. The reason to start with bank B has to do with the LCD contrast and it’s better to start with bank B (this is the boot system).
Have fun,
Rudi
I understand the version from May 2016 should have a different number from the 2010 version ain’t it? Something like 3.6.1 if there is nothing new but some fixes…
I fixed two bugs: the MIDI in Velocity bug and the touch surface A bug (50%/100% amount settings).
I’m working the last 6 years from time to time on the OS and I guess I forgot some differences.
Here are a few new functions:
MIDI Enables
MIDI clock output
Storing with pressing 2x the MASTER button is selectable
MIDI Controllers for the ENV Gate foot switch is selectable
Pressing ENTER only for changes of the ext. input pot is selectable

Greg, help me out here
Actually, I got a OS 3.6 with a date of 12/10/10 today from Moog Music tech support which they stated was not a beta. That made sense to me as the version I had was a 12/06/10 version of 3.6. I am sure my XL shipped with that 3.6 version. Its not anywhere on their website as far as I know. I was working with tech support to resolve an “EDIT” button failure on my XL
Also, I updated my XL with the May, 2016 version with the instructions provided using SysEx librarian on my Mac. Worked like a charm. No issues. Complete success!
go to the MASTER page “Receive Update” and send bank “B”.
then if the Voyager asks for bank “D” leave “NO” and press ENTER.
in the MASTER menu go to “Receive Update” and send bank “A”.
now when the Voyager asks for bank “C” select “YES” and ENTER and
send bank “C” to the Voyager. Do the same thing with bank “D”.
Just let the Voyager tell you what it wants. In step 2, you can say yes when it asks for bank D, in my experience it displays “checksum error”. But no harm done. Then afterwards, step through the panel and master menus, I think it is pretty clear what each option does. 3.6 seems solid and the name ‘beta’ shouldn’t scare you off.
Hi all, I try to update from 3.5 to 3.6 according to the “how to” explanations. Unfortunately I get an error message that the system upload failed (system exclusive transfer has failed). The system asks for bank A to be uploaded, when I try to upload a different one (e.g. B) there is a error message, that the wrong bank was selected. The system requests specifically bank A.
