Title: Constant USB Update Failures - Anyone Else
Post by: blewis on February 15, 2020, 08:12:00 AM
Basically my Prophet X refuses to update all OSes by USB.

After following the proper instructions - which I read every time because it never works - I attempt to update via USB and the the synth inevitably will not start up after reporting that it has successfully updated the firmware.

This time I waited 3 full minutes after it reported it was done and ready to be reset. Then I let it sit powered off for a full minute before turning it on.

Nothing.

A quick flash of the screens, then complete darkness with the sliders 1/2 lit and the mod wheels lit.

Now I have to go dig up the Sys EX update - again - like I have to do every time.

Am I the only person in the world that has to do this every single time?!

I’ve had the same issues with the most recent betas.

I’m about to try 2.2 and will report back!

Gah. Same thing.
On restart nothing happens except a few lights and a glitchy readout on the effects screen.

Is there a sysex for 2.2 available?

I’ve submitted a support ticket linking to this thread.

Okay. Thanks for reporting back. Nice to know I’m not alone here. I emailed support too. I’m sure they’ll send us the SysEx early next week.
