Taurus III firmware v2.0 temporarily unavailable

Post by Amos » Tue Jun 12, 2012 10:30 am

Hi all,

Most folks who have tried the new v2.0 firmware update for Taurus III are now enjoying the new features.
A small number of customers (four, so far) were unable to complete the update successfully.
In order to avoid any further inconvenience for our customers, Moog Music is temporarily removing the v2.0 firmware download from our website while we determine what went wrong for these users.

I anticipate this update will be available for download again next week or so.

Thanks,

Amos Gaynes

Any additional changes... Will those that successfully updated to v2.0 need to load this latest FW update?

I'd recommend it. The fix is pretty low-level, in that it initializes some stuff on start-up that was left uninitialized in the previous firmware.
Without going into eye-watering detail about it, I personally feel better about the new version and it's what I'd use. :)

The only new features are safety features, which make it easier to do a firmware update while a unit is in the locked-up state experienced by the four users who reported trouble with v2.0.

Is this update the one currently on the downloads page or do we need to wait?

It's the one that's currently up. Version number is 2.0.2.

Cheers,

Has the firmware upgrade problem been rectified yet?

All is now fixed, make sure you have 2.0.2 and you're fine.

Cheers mate, will give it a try shortly.

Will I lose my saved settings/presets?

At the moment I have no custom patches, but in the past they were fine unless you loaded the 1.13 patches file. I imagine this is the same. Doesn't hurt to do a back-up though in any case before you flash.

i definitely recommend a backup first. on general principle and because I can't recall at the moment whether it does an automatic reset or not.
There are a number of new global parameters, so if anything doesn't seem quite right on first boot to the new OS I'd definitely suggest a factory restore at that point, to make sure everything is initialized correctly. at that point you'd need to restore your own presets from a previously-saved sysex file.
