On Macs (with Sequoia?) the update process seems to fail often putting the unit in DFU-mode ("bricked"). While the first update after I bought the machine several weeks ago went without a hitch, the new one now failed 8 times before it just succeeded. I could not identify any contributing factor (did restarts, different ports/USB cables, removing the MIDI device in A/M-setup...) it just failed in different states and succeeded at last. So - if you have fails - just try and try again until it goes through... (Synthtribe app 2.9.6)
I like the new firmware mode=2 for the exponential amp envelope (some patches subjectively seem to ring out too long now and might need some editing) and the new user transients and sounds are nice too.
Two problems I still encounter are missing notes when keys played too softy and when editing the WT selection the OLED display sometimes doesn't update.
All in all a nice synth though (at a really good price) but you'll have to accept a lot of quirky behaviour. (which not everybody might like and so I had the luck to get a returned pristine unit for 50 bucks off! Yay!)
Mac here, and i had an „update failed“ message as well. But the wave display showed „voice updating“ fo ca. a minute. Autorestart after that and it looks like the update went through nonetheless.
So, maybe don‘t immedialey shutdown the synth when this message appears in the synthtribe app (as a tip for anybody else)
