Connection to Software failed

[chiefthomson]

hi there

I received the Minibrute 3 weeks ago and now wanted to try to connect with their software "minibrute connection".
The software has been extracted with the mfb file. As I open the software it first tries to connect but fails.
It says: "Unable to communicate with MiniBrute. Closing connection!".
I turned off and on again, didn't help
I swaped the usb cable, didn't help
I ran the software as an administrator, didn't help.

If I use it as a midicontroller it works, I get a signal, so usb connection seems fine to me.
Any help?

I use Win7 with latest updates und just downloaded software 1.0.1-

Hi,
it's because the firmware is older than your Editor.
Just Ignore this message, go to firmware tab, and start the update. It should work fine.
If not:
-powerup the machine with both octave switches pressed -> the 5 octaves LEDs should be On.
- launch Editor, go to firmware and start update.

Let me know
Bruno

Thank you Bruno, it took me about 5 times to make it work. 4 times it was not able to download the firmware and I had to end the process.
Now it's fine. Firmware is up to date with 1.0.1 and I can use the editor.

Thanks for the support.

Hi,

My Minibrute was 1.0.1 and I just tried to update to 1.0.2.1.

I also had the ""Unable to communicate with MiniBrute. Closing connection!"" error message, and I had to use the "octave up/down" trick so that the firmware update worked.

Now the editor says the Minibrute is 1.0.2.1 so the update worked,, but it still can't communicate, I tried rebooting the MB several times already
