Future Impact now available!! WAS: deep impact reissue!!! interested?

Just a quick heads up before I return this midi-usb cable...in case I’m doing it wrong.

usb to computer, midi out connector from cable to midi in on the FI and midi in connector from cable to midi out on FI. Open the editor and it should see it, right? I’m getting a connectivity error

Yes. You need to connect the interface before you launch the editor.

What interface is it? Is it on the list of tested devices in the manual?

What are you trying to do?
 
Seriously, just do the update via the google browser app, it’s very clear.

Here’s video of the entire update process.

Reset boot menu afterwards:

Just trying to update firmware (currently at 3.0) and add some of your amazing patches!

the interface is a FORE, which appears to be a knockoff of the Roland. Gonna order the Roland today
 
Is there any way to have my midi cables and my interface cables for editing connected to the FI at the same time? Maybe a midi merger of some kind? I've been playing with things a bit more recently and it's kind of a pain to unhook the FI from my midi chain to edit patches, then re-connect to test with my expression pedal (SA Reflex), then unhook again to tweak, rinse...repeat...If I put the FI last in my midi chain, I could keep the interface out cable connected (I'm using the Roland UM-1 mkII). Would a 2 in - 1 out midi merger work to connect both the interface in cable and the cable from my pedal board chain at the same time to the in of the FI? Any other ideas or suggestions? I know there are some pretty elaborate midi setups out there. How are you guys editing and testing at the same time?

Thanks in advance.
I am succesfully using the midi solutions merger - Regards Hagen

On the Roland I'm pretty sure the one labelled in goes into in out to out. Worth a try at least.
The Roland has arrows on it, it’s really clear which plug goes in each port.

If it had been plugged in the wrong way around, he would have got a “communication error” popup. The fact that the update process starts and hangs suggests that the interface can’t handle the data volume of the update.
