Minitaur Editor - Hardware Disconnected

Post by roott » Sun Apr 13, 2014 4:21 pm

Hi,
my minitaur editor doesnt let me to load presets (everything like tweaking other functions in Panel Tab etc works fine btw). In preset manager tab it says: hardware disconnected. I am connected via USB (setting: midi input: mood minitaur, midi output: mood minitaur).
please advise...
Thanks
T.

try to run only the editor.
I have the same issue when running the editor and a virtual key or a midi/sysex manager

I am having a similar issue - I am sometimes able to get the software to connect but the communication is only 1-way (the knob settings on the minitaur are reflected on my screen but changes I make in the software do not translate back to the machine). Also, this is inconsistent at best and requires power cycling the unit. The status always shows as "hardware disconnected" in the editor.

I'm having the same issue, always "Disconnected" or "Hardware Disconnected" in the firmware. I'm not even sure if my firmware update worked, as I can't tell. I hope this gets looked at.

Hey once again,

I contacted support - hopefully they will answer. I will let you know as soon as I know something more.

re:TLA - I don't really get it what you mean under "try to run only the editor". I am actually running only the editor (no DAW or so...).

best, T.

Having the exact same problem, and tried it on both mac osx 10.8.5 and pc windows 7 64bit. Seriously a major problem. Already returned one Minitaur thinking I had a defective unit, now seeing that it's a full on issue. This really makes it unusable....please fix!!!

Hooked up my new minitaur last night and ran into this problem exactly. It's a no go in Logic & Standalone.
Appreciate a fix as well.

A little birdie told me that there's a bug fix update to the new editor being released any day now.

Same problem here.

I updated the firmware (I think so, anyway, the lights blinked as they were supposed to throughout the process)

Still same problem. Both in stand alone x64, and as a VST in Ableton Live 9 Standard.

I have just bought a new Minitaur and I am also having the "hardware disconnected" situation. I seem to have related issues - the firmware version in the editor's settings never gets out of the "discovery phase" and really the worst problem for me is that although the minitaur hardware has the Rev2 decay/release control working, there appears to be no presets whatsoever even after reinstalling the Rev2 firmware (multiple times!) Is this the same situation for everyone else here or do you have the factory presets installed but cannot do anything with them because of the preset section of the editor not connecting with hardware?

I would appreciate any information before I have to run the gauntlet of returning the minitaur. I have to say that I am bit disappointed that Moog would leave people hanging with this situation.
