MOTM

V1.2 is found at:

www.synthtech.com/m650

the SFI file requires the Updater.ZIP (Win XP) file.

This release fixes 1 bug, but it was a pain: when using MIDI Clock to drive the 
arpeggiators, V1.1 would hang if you accessed certain menus. V1.2 corrects this 
problem.

Paul,

      Will the 650's that have been ordered but not shipped yet contain 
firmware V1.2?  I'm assuming that mine is among this group since my CC has 
not been charged yet.

Well, of course :)

Where can we find instructions for doing the update?

There are no "formal" instructions yet. Basically, the steps are:

a) get the .SIT file and unpack Updater.zip from

www.synthtech.com/m650

b) when you run the program, it should automatically detect all MIDI ports on 
your PC. There are drop-down selections if you have more than 1.
c) attach MIDI cable, turn on the '650
d) select the .SIT file
e) download

You need to select both an input and an output port.

Attach two MIDI cables - one in, one out.

.sfi file

Click "Update".

It is not working for me.  The program is able to connect.  The 650 
display says 'Connected Await RX'.   I select the file and tell it to 
update .  The update software says it is updating the firmware.  There 
is a progress bar and then it says 'MIDI timeout'.  The 650 has to be 
power-cycled to work again.  There is a Global Option called Patch RX 
that is Disabled by default.  I tried enabling this, but it made no 
difference.

Firmware transfer requires *NO* settings in the menu.

The OUT on one bus on your computer needs to be connected to the IN on the 
MOTM-650. Sounds like it is since it's saying "Connected Await RX" (that 
means it's in firmware transfer mode).

The IN of one of your MIDI buses on your computer needs to be connected to 
the out on the MOTM-650.

If the IN and OUT ports in the SFUU aren't set correctly, you'll also get 
this problem.

Double check your connections, and let me know.

Just curious, as I have ordered a 650: Is there a way to update the  
firmware from OS X? I don't have a pc with midi ports.
