Is OS7 Still a Beta?

TomShields · Oct 12th 2019

.... and is that why Rig Manager isn't picking it up as an upgrade?

Monkey_Man · Oct 12th 2019

No, 7.0.9 was a Release version for all units, Tom.

RM's probably showing you the latest beta 7.1.1. If you disable beta notifications in RM, you should then see the latest Release version I mentioned.

Thanks, Monkey_Man.

My unit was shipped with 5.5 (I think), and I just upgraded to 6.0.0.xxx today. Been busy. But after repeated tries, RM is showing no pending upgrades except for RM 2.3, which requires OS 7.0.

No worries, Tom. You've always got the option of upgrading via USB stick, mate.

The 7.0.9 Release version is at the bottom of this page:

Righto.

So, do I need to format a USB stick with the Profiler before downloading the OS onto the stick, or do I simply use an empty FAT32-formatted stick?

Thanks!

Use the profiler to format it ... A number of folders will be setup including one for OS updates ... then keep it for future use.

Thanks, Andy.

I'm running the 6x version (I think - spring reverb release?).

Does 7 bring anything new to the party, or is it mainly just the version needed to support the Stage?

Preset management. But the quality still feel beta'ish, so I'm not upgrading yet.

Thanks. I don't have any pressing needs at the moment, so I'll probably just wait until both the OS and the editor version of RM are ready for prime time and make the move then.

I'm on 7.0.9, which is the current stable release. No issues.

Having used the new preset management system for a few weeks, it's *really* good. Since they added back the lower 'eq' knobs for selection, I think it's pretty killer. I ain't goin' back.

Missed that one ... thanks for the heads up (it's what this place is all about) ... it's still works in 7.1.1 (FYI, only problem I had in 7.1.0 was lock up (buffer?) after multiple scrolling on the Rig Navigation Cross - e.g. Perf 50 down to Perf 1, now sorted.)

How do I upgrade to 7.07 or higher without a USB-stick?

In Rig Manager it says to use 2.3, I have to have Profiler Software 7.0.7 or above.

But I can't seem to get that through the Rig Manager, and I don't have a USB-stick.

You should have a USB memory stick. You need one to create PROFILER backups. Some emergency routines require a USB memory stick as well. And these sticks are very inexpensive.
