Analogue-sequencer

I have just successfully updated my P3 to bootloader version 3.3 and
firmware version 4 beta on an Apple Mac.

Thought I'd report here in case anyone else is looking for sysex
utilities that work to update the P3 from a Mac.

I used the free/open-source SysEx Librarian utility from Snoize, found
on their website here...
http://www.snoize.com/SysExLibrarian/

This worked for me on an Intel Mac Pro running Mac OS X 10.5.4. I
connected to the P3 through an Emagic Unitor 8 MIDI interface.

I had read of some sysex utilities playing the sysex messages out too
fast for the P3 to receive, so I set the 'Pause between played
messages' option to 500millseconds in SysEx Librarian 'General'
preferences. Not sure if it would have worked at the smaller default
delay or not.
