Slim Phatty connection lost/firmware problem
Posted: Tue Jun 03, 2014 5:45 pm
Hello,
I'm an owner of Slim Phatty synthesizer, but recently USB completly stopped working. SP is not visible not only in my DAW, but also in Windows Device Manager. Sysex software that I'm using (Bome's SendSX) always recognized SP among MIDI devices, but now SP is not on the list of available machines. This problem appeared out of nowhere- one day it just stopped working, I was trying different cables and USB ports, even tried with another laptop but SP is always not visible after connecting via USB. I tried firmware update- but it failed, because Phatty Firmware Updater also doesn't see my device (so I ended with SP without OS and it's not working at all).
Also, when I open Phatty Firmware Updater I get this message: can't open file (error 3:the system cannot find the path specified). But updater actually opens and seems to work, but of course it doesn't see my SP because it is not visible on my computer at all (the issue is on Win7 64 bit).
I will greatly appreciate any advice regarding this issue, my synth is now completly unusable. Is there any possibility to send firmware to my SP at this point?
I will be grateful for any help,
Best Regards
