FIRMWARE 2.0 - Polybrute freezes intermittently while switch patches

[mmz7777]

Hello,

After installing firmware version 2.0, the Polybrute is freezing intermittently when switching patches.

This happening to anyone else? Thanks! -MZ

My screen freezes intermittently, meaning that it continues to display whatever it froze on.  I can still select other pages and adjust things, but I can't see what I'm doing.  The mode buttons are freezing as well.

Hello,
the same here. Sometimes it works, when reconnected to computer via USB. But it hangs again and again.
Unstable  System, downgrade to earlier FW-Version,

Same here, very frustrating.

Can someone please explain to me, how to downgrade to earlier FW-Version?

By using the earlier Polybrute Connect, I get the option to update from file - but where do I get the file from?

Here is the direct link to the previous firmware:

You have to use PolyBrute Connect to load it and rollback the firmware.

I sat down to play today and the polybrute froze twice in the course of 10 minutes. I was playing and tweaking factory patches standalone with no USB connected...

The first time it was just the display and row of buttons beneath it that froze and became unresponsive, the second time, the synth froze completely and stopped responding to keypresses button presses or anything... Had to power cycle both times. It seems something needs fixing here.

I've run into this issue over the past few days as well. Just re-installed firmware 2.0 and things are working again for now... will see how long it lasts!

This keeps happening to me too.
Board completely freezes up when scrolling through presets.
Has anyone found a ‘fix’ for this or is reverting to the previous firmware the only way ?

[Bjorn Punchtower]

At this time, I believe reverting to the old firmware is the only way unfortunately

YES! Simply re-installing FW 2.0 seams to do the Trick! No freezing anymore!

Thanks!

Having the same issue with mine. Updated firmware to 2.0.0.648 but it locks up intermittently when changing patches. I may have to try previous firmware versions because I can’t continuously have my workflow grind to a halt. Such an amazing sounding machine to have such a basic problem. I normally don’t voice complaints, but for the money, this should work better.

Have you tried a reinstall? I also like to do a factory reset after FW updates, just in case - it's in Settings/Misc/Factory reset.

Reinstalling the firmware worked for me, mine though wasn't intermittent, every time I touched an envelope it locked up, and randomly while switching patches.

Any explanations as to why it doesn't seem to install correctly first time?
