Problem loading new MD OS

Problem loading new MD OS

2004-09-08 by elcastigo

Is anyone else having any difficulties loading the new OS on the MD?  All seems to go 
well as the triggers light up one by one until the very end (where the message states 
"Update Unsuccessful").  Do I just keep trying until it "takes", or is there a problem 
that I am unaware of?  I've tried 4 times and am getting a bit annoyed.  Any 
suggestions would be welcome.

Thanks,
EC

I guess I'm in good company.  

Is there any way that I can get it to load more slowly (?) - I didn't know that was an 
option.  By the way, I'm using Sysex Librarian on a G4 Mac.

yup!

go to preferences and change the pause between messages to.... i think 250 ms was as
fast and solid as i could get it.  maybe faster, i can't remember.

really?  mine worked in Sysex Librarian with 12ms delays between 
messages. weird.
must be something between the different interface drivers.  at 12ms, 
it's a good 5-10
minute upload; I can't even imagine what 250ms takes!

IT works fine loading it with digital perfomer.

I was going to say it's your midi interface, at first I thought maybe
you were using windows;)  Sysex Lib worked quite well with me.  I'm
using a powerbook g4.  My midi interface is a simple usb Edirol um-1s.

We were even running different programs and switching users.

My guess is that you may be using some M-Audio thing.  Just a guess. 
But I'm sure it's your interface.

nope =)

motu, micro lite.  it facilitates pretty fast transfers with every other synth, here.
i've only used 1.19b.  when it's time to load 1.19c, i'll make a note of the fastest
usable rate.

I upgraded yesterday, and hade severe problems. At some random point whn 
upgrading I got the error message on the MD. Then I changed midi cable and 
put the MD in my lap, upgrade worked instantly! Quite weird. I had tried 
6-7 times to upgrade before that.

Motu 828 MKII, Windows XP, Sonar.
