Help! Data Error
I just got my Little Phatty 2 this morning.
I played around with it for a while and then decided to use it to record a lead and a bass in a track I've been working on. I connected it to my workstation [Fantom X6] MIDI out, through my JX8P, setting the LP's receive channel to 14. I had no MIDI problems, and recorded the sequence perfectly well.
I then had to go out, and powered down the LP. When I cam back, I powered it up again, and got this error message:
SEND_FIRMWARE SX
Data error 3
Needless to say, the synth is completely unresponsive. What should I do?

Did you unplugged the MIDI-cable before you turned the Little Phatty on?
If not, turn it off, remove the MIDI-cable and turn it on again.

Amos is the best once you get a hold of him. Which I've never had trouble with. T7, you should try calling at the factory. I know they have a toll free number.

For years, I've been wondering where the good tech support guys are. Now I know.

Yes, I called. I'm traveling tomorrow, so I can't really wait. There's a number at the bottom of the pages at the main Moog Music site.T7 wrote:Did you call Moog support? I'm not getting any response via email?

What was the solution that support gave you? I just got this same error on mine as well.
I booted past it by holding down 'Master' when turning power on, and did a factory reset, which fixed the bizarre behavior. I'm assuming that this happened by midi data being sent to the synth that changed a value to something that wasn't acceptable. Now I just need to know how to get rid of the "SEND_FIRMWARE SX" message everytime I boot up the synth, I can hold 'Master' to just get past it every time, but it's very annoying.
Thanks!

Unplug any MIDI cables before turning on the synth. If it still acts funny, I dunno what's going on.
Make sure all MIDI cables are disconnected at all times before powering up the LP. And enjoy the rest of your day at Six Flags.

Yeah I unplugged all cables (other than power) when booting it up. The phatty works file it just displays this message if I don't hold down 'Master' while booting:
SEND_FIRMWARE SX
DATA ERROR 3
So I'm assuming a flag is set somewhere that needs to be reset.
I bought the Stage II directly, is there a place where I can download the OS 2 and just try reinstalling the firmware? I can't seem to find it anywhere for download.
Thanks for the help, and the quick response.

Strange...E-mail Amos and have him send you the OS. He may also know how you can fix the problem without reloading OS 2.00. Will it allow for a factory reset? If so, try that.djrisc wrote: I bought the Stage II directly, is there a place where I can download the OS 2 and just try reinstalling the firmware? I can't seem to find it anywhere for download.

I'm good for quick responses, BTW. Infamous for it, in fact!

Tech support sent me the latest version of the firmware by e-mail and I sent it to the LP using MIDI-OX. IT was a simple enough fix once we got to that point. Just give them a call or e-mail... Though I doubt you'll get someone today.

They were in the office today in fact.
I have to say, what great customer service!
They are investigating this issue further, for the moment I have a workaround that works fine.
Thanks again for the quick responses to everyone in the forums, and the awesome customer care from Moog! You can definetly tell that they really care about their products and their customers.
