Hi, I’ve got a quick question for the forum experts regarding the recent 1.06 firmware.

I recently updated my Wavestate from firmware vrs 1.03 to 1.06 via the 1.06 updater software’s “usb boot mode” method, which I had to use given that my Mac was already running Big Sur.

The procedure seemed to work exactly according to instructions, and my Wavestate can now communicate with my Mac and the new librarian software just fine. I really like the new librarian app!

However, the update seems to have changed the way my Wavestate starts up. Before the update it would display the “Wavestate” splash screen on power up, then proceed to the “Loading Data” progress bar. After the 1.06 update, it displays the “Wavestate” splash screen for a few seconds on power-up; then the screen goes blank for ten seconds; then the “Wavestate” splash screen reappears for a second before passing to the “Loading Data” progress bar.

Sound data still loads as before, and my Wavestate seems to work just fine. But that ten-second screen blank-out in the middle of the “new” startup sequence is a little disconcerting. Is that how it’s supposed to be? Just thought I’d check to make sure.

Thanks!

Ruh-Roh.

I wonder what I did wrong, here?

More importantly: does anyone have any ideas on how I might fix this problem?

Ugh. Thanks for any assistance!

I have this blank screen in the middle of the starting sequence. I'm ok with it but it doesn't fill me with confidence when I power up the synth. It feels more like a temporary loss of communication on reentry from space.

Hi all,
This is a minor problem with the 1.0.6 USB Boot Mode update process. The front-panel firmware keeps thinking that it needs to be re-updated. To solve this, simply install 1.0.6 normally again (not via Boot Mode).
