GRANDMOTHER FIRMWARE UPDATE V1.1.0
Sept 23, 2020
Firmware version 1.1.0 for the Grandmother contains a number of new features as well as some bug fixes.
HOW TO UPDATE YOUR FIRMWARE
1.
Connect a USB cable from Grandmother to your computer.
2.
Open your SysEx sending software.
NOTE:
We recommend downloading Bome SendSX for Windows or SysEx Librarian for Mac.
3.
In the SysEx software, select Grandmother as your MIDI output device.
NOTE:
In SysEx Librarian, this is located in the drop-down menu at the top of the application window.
In Bome SendSX, this is located in the MIDI OUT menu on the menu bar.
4.
Select the SysEx file “Grandmother_FIRMWARE_INVALIDATE.syx” included with this download
and click Send. On the Grandmother, the Arp Rate LED will start blinking red/green.
5.
In the SysEx sending software, re-select Grandmother as your MIDI output device (Grandmother
reboots and needs to be re-selected after INVALIDATE).
6.
Select the SysEx file “Grandmother_FIRMWARE_ERASE.syx” included with this download
and click Send. On the Grandmother, the Arp Rate LED will blink red three times then blink green steadily.
Grandmother is now ready for new firmware.
7.
Select the new firmware file “Grandmother_Firmware_v1_1_0.syx” included with this download
and click Send. The Grandmother Arp Rate LED will blink yellow-orange while receiving.
8.
You’re done! Grandmother will reboot to the new firmware when done.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the Grandmother Arp Rate LED is still blinking yellow-orange after the firmware has finished sending,
or if the Arp Rate LED stops blinking and the unit does not reboot automatically once firmware has
finished sending, you should try again.
Turn the Grandmother power off and on again, disconnect and reconnect the USB cable, and
then start over at step 1.
You can retry as many times as necessary and it will not hurt the hardware. If it doesn’t work after two
or three tries, you should contact Moog Technical Support for further assistance.
If you have any questions or trouble with your update please contact [email protected].
