+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
ALWAYS BACKUP YOUR IMPORTANT WORK VIA SYSEX DUMP BEFORE ATTEMPTING ANY OS UPDATES!!
Not that we're expecting bad things to happen, but always better safe than sorry. Just remember, you're never going to say to yourself "Man, I wish I hadn't backed that up..."
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The process to update the OS on the Prophet X is unique from other instruments in our product line.  You will find detailed instructions for updating the Prophet X below.

To begin, you will need a USB flash drive to perform the update. The USB flash drive will need to be formatted for use with the Prophet X.

*

Formatting the USB flash drive will erase any files already present on the thumb drive*

Formatting the USB flash drive:

1. Insert the USB flash drive into the SAMPLE IMPORT port on the rear of the Prophet X.
2. Press the GLOBAL button.
3. Navigate to the FORMAT USB DRIVE menu item to select it.
4. Press SOFT KEY 1 (left most button directly beneath the large OLED display) to start the formatting. Depending on the size of the USB thumb drive, this may take anywhere from a few seconds to several minutes.
5. Once the drive has been formatted, you can now use it to update the Prophet X.

Download and install OS file on USB flash drive:

1. Connect the USB flash drive to your computer. The USB flash drive will be named PROPHETX.
2. Download the archived OS zip file and unpack it using your preferred zip/archive utility application.
3. Once the archive is unpacked, it will contain the OS update file named PxUpdate_Vx.x.x.x.x.bin.
4. Copy the PxUpdate_Vx.x.x.x.x.bin file to the top level of the PROPHETX thumb drive.

Install OS update on the Prophet X

1.Insert the USB flash drive into the SAMPLE IMPORT port on the rear of the Prophet X.
2. Press the GLOBAL button.
3. Navigate to the UPDATE APPLICATION menu item to select it.
4. Press SOFT KEY 1 to start the update. The OS update will take a few moments to complete. Once the update has completed, the display will show a message instructing you to manually power cycle the synth.

Title: Re: Prophet X BETA OS - v2.2.1.0.0
Post by: extempo on August 23, 2021, 10:42:19 AM

The latest Prophet-X OS is 2.2.2.0.0, which is a public release that can be downloaded on our main website at the following link: https://sequential.com/updating-prophet-x-os/ (https://sequential.com/updating-prophet-x-os/)


**Note** If the update is unsuccessful using the .bin file you can update the Main OS via the attached sysex in bootloader mode.


To boot the Prophet X into bootloader mode, hold SAMPLE STRETCH while powering on the instrument. The screen will display a message indicating that bootloader mode is active. Next, transmit the SysEX update file to the synth via the synth's MIDI DIN IN port. Once the transmission has been started, you will see the Prophet X's screen update to indicate the file's reception.


Once the update is complete, please restart the synth. The synth should boot up normally thereafter. If not, please reach out to support@sequential.com.
