I'd really appreciate some help here. I've been looking forward to playing with this thing all day. I finally got home and downloaded the OS 1.5.2 to update. I plugged it in via USB and followed the directions to update via MidiOx. The weird thing I noticed is that the OS sys ex file is named "prophet5_main_1.5.2.syx", but I looked it up and read that the OS was the same between the two.
I set the buffer output num and size to 1024. I watched it count up to 100 and then down from 10, but it didn't restart. I manually restarted it and now only the release/hold light turns on when I power it up. No other light nor the screen is on. I have no clue what to do and I'm bummed out beyond belief.
What is my next step here? This is my first Sequential product and I'm not sure what to do. I'm about to dig into the manual.
THANK YOU for any help you can provide!!
EDIT: Just read through the troubleshooting part of the manual. I see nothing about failed firmware updates and nothing about just the release/hold light being on when turning the unit on. I'm an absolute moron for trying to update this. I just wanted to enjoy it after a long day at work.
EDIT2: I've passed the acceptance phase and have entered the anger phase. How does a $3400 synth not have any documentation stating how to get it in the bootloader mode and how is there no access to previous firmware versions? How is there no documentation telling me what one light after boot up means? I've been doing none stop digging and found that if you hold the mod wheel and pitch wheel up while booting a Prophet, you can enter bootloader mode. I cannot get this to work with my external keyboard that is connected via a MIDI cable.
My heart is sunk all the way to the bottom of my stomach and I just can't believe that after waiting all week for this and finally getting it today that it's now broken and I have to wait until Monday to be able to call them. For some reason, there are no buttons to hold during bootup to enter bootload mode or, even better, be able to do a factory reset. I planned this entire night out and have gone through an entire week of hell at work to get to this. I'm devastated. I sold all my other synths to get this and now I'm just sitting here with absolutely nothing except an expensive paperweight.
