Chapter 6: Updating RIP Firmware
Firmware is RIP’s “brain,” and may be updated from time to time to optimize
performance. Firmware updates may occur when the virtual mixing Console opens for
the first time after a software update. Here’s how to open the Console after installation.
Mac:
The Console opens automatically when Mac installation is complete.
Windows XP:
After installation, go
Start > Programs > Gibson RIP,
then click on
Gibson RIP Console.
Windows Vista:
After installation, go
Start > All Programs > Gibson RIP
, then
click on Gibson RIP Console.
Now that the Console is open, it will check whether RIP has the latest firmware. If the
firmware is not up to date, the following window will appear.
Click “Yes” to install new firmware.
Do not turn off or unplug your Gibson RIP or
your computer while the firmware is being installed!
This can leave RIP in a non-
functional state that requires returning it to the factory. If possible, connect your
computer and RIP to an Uninterruptible Power Supply while updating firmware. A
window shows the updating progress.
Once the firmware update is complete, turn off power to the RIP, wait 10 seconds (or
more), then reconnect power to load the new firmware.
