Hello everyone, as a Linux user I spent time looking for information to update the old OS version 1.1.0.1 of my Prophet REV2
Finally I have managed to update it without installing any additional software, simply and in a few minutes with the "amidi" application.
It would be desirable that this information be attached to the options of Windows and Mac that gives the manufacturer since many of us do not want to use commercial OS systems. It would save us time and contribute to make the instrument more friendly.
Steps:
1- Create an empty folder and put the file of the new OS there, now Rev2_Main_1.1.5.9.syx
2- Open the folder created in a terminal with administrative permissions.
3- Execute the order: amidi -p hw: 1,0,0 -s Rev2_Main_1.1.5.9.syx -i 100
The firmware will update in a few seconds and the synthesizer will restart
My Linux version: Linux Mint 19.1 Cinnamon (Ubuntu)
