C6 A4 Update Problem

Hi

I tried to install the new OS but my C6 starts freezing everytime i try to send the OS to the A4.
I am using Win7. My Notebook can find the A4 so it shouldn’t be the USB connection.
Did anyone else have this problem before?

This may be obvious, but did you put the A4 in receive mode?

Yeah of course i did turn that on.
I updated it a few times before already.
Today after I tried it a few times it finally worked.
I am just wondering why the C6 keeps freezing.

It makes me a bit worried that the C6 starts freezing while i am transfering the OS Update.

I had same problem on OSX… Solution was to use standard Midi port and TM-1 instead of USB
Maybe you could try that?

I have to buy one first.
It could be the USB connection.
Thanks

I had this problem, it’s an issue with Windows 7 interfacing with the USB from the Analog Four.

The trick to getting it to work is to plug the USB cable into the Analog Four, then turn on the Analog Four, then plug the other end of the USB into the computer. The Analog Four needs to be on before you plug into the computer for windows to recognize it.

Then launch the C6 program on Windows. Start the OS upgrade from the Analog Four. Select the sysex file from the send menu of C6, and send it. If it freezes you have to reboot the computer to clear the USB assignments. Then try again, just make sure the Analog four is already on, with it’s side of the USB cable plugged in before connecting it to the computer. Might take a couple of trys but it will work.

Thanks for your reply.
I also think it is a Windows 7 Issue. I will try to follow your way.

Hopefully Elektron can fix this problem in the future.
