Trying to update from System 1.0.3

[monumentalfolly]

Wavestate is system 1.0.3.

I am using a Mac Powerbook, OS 11.6. I also have an older Mac, OS 10.5.8 (System Updater I have doesn't run on it), and one at 10.8.5 (ditto).

The Korg System Updater doesn't see the WS. The Boot Utility seems to require at least 2.1.3.

Any help appreciated -- I can't find any old installers to get from 1.0.3 to 2.1.3. . .

p.s., my first synth was a Korg Polysix, bought in 1988 !

For the curious, I managed to figure this out. I ran the Boot Utility. The Boot Utility choice (3.1.7 or 2.1.3) refers not to one's current WS OS, but to the target OS -- the upgrade you'll get after running the Boot Utility. I asked why one would choose 2.1.3 rather than 3.1.7, and the Korg help person didn't know. I ran it, and now I am at 3.1.7 and the Librarian and also Sample Builder both work now.

The warnings that the Boot Utility gives refers to choosing the right synth (Wavestate, rather than some other) and the right model (Wavestate, or WS MkII or SE).

Amid running the Boot Utility it directs you to unplug the power, and then re-power it. At this point the screen sits on the initial splash screen for a while -- be patient. Also, overall, make sure you don't have power or wifi drop midway (not sure how you can really be sure of this, but if you are worried, seek some very stable internet, e.g., a wired connection at work maybe).
