Mother 32 Firmware Update Stuck

Post by loganme » Thu Aug 06, 2020 12:23 am

I was super excited to pick up a Mother 32 today and decided to update the firmware to 2.0 when I got home.

I sent the Mother-32_ERASE_firmware sysex twice, no problem. I see the green Tempo light blinking on and off as described in the manual.

Then I try sending Mother-32_Firmware_v2_0_0 sysex and even though both Elektron C6 on my Windows 10 machine and sysex Librarian on my work laptop, a Macbook Pro, are telling me the file has sent, nothing is happening on the Mother. I know i'm supposed to
Observe the MIDI LED flashing red and the Tempo LED flashing yellow during transfer
but unfortunately I'm still just getting the green blinking light and nothing more.

Not sure if it's relevant, but the LFO tempo light is also blinking red and changes depending on where i set the LFO dial.

Anyone have any ideas?

Update:
I think the issue with some devices is the transfer rate set for the SYSEX. Once I set my transfer rate to the slowest possible option, the update processed!
