NOTE: Download the .dmg file, open it then drag the application to your desktop before running it. This last step is important because the application downloads the firmware from our servers and executing the app from the .dmg container will fail the download.
Download the .msi file, right click on it and select “Install” to run the Windows installer. After installation, an application shortcut to MFUpdate.exe will be added to the desktop. The first time you drop your Midifighter into Bootloader mode, Windows may ask to install a driver. Suitable drivers can found in the install directory:
%ProgramFiles%/DJTechTools/MidifighterUpdate/BootloaderDrivers
First make sure you have a working Internet connection then execute the MFUpdate application, press “Update Midifighter” and follow the on-screen instructions for how to get your Midifighter into Bootloader Mode. Updating will take only a few seconds.
New features include:
Fourbanks mode has more options: Fourbanks Internal uses the top 4 keys to select banks. Fourbanks External uses the expansion digital inputs as bank select keys.
MIDI implementation now has a fixed layout, “basenote” is no more.
Expansion port buttons and faders always have the same Note and CC numbers regardless of the Fourbanks mode used.
Bank select keys emit NoteOn/NoteOff events when selected.
Menu Mode pages improved and simplified.
More details in the updated Documentation on this board as well as the README.txt file in the Sourceforge ZIP file.
I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong. I get this text when I try to update:
Contacting DJTechTools…
Unable to open temporary file:
Read only file system
Flashing Midifighter…
Midifighter erased.
Failed send HEX file to Midifighter.
I am having alot of trouble opening the dmg file, i saved it to my desktop , i am running mac 10.6.2
1.83 ghx intel core dup and 1.25 gb memory, its a macbook, when i drag the icon to my desktop and try to open it it says MFU Update is not supported on this type of mac?
like every other time i try to upload a midifighter tsi, everything loads in fine, all the fx open up correctly, but nothing is present in the mapping window. blank. nada.
done all the updates. updated the mf to the new firmware, four-bank mode’s up, updated my software, but still nothing.
Updated successfully to new firmware, can’t get 4 banks to work on all 4 decks properly. It seems to only function on deck a only as in Eans video. Could use some advice…
edit…got it working, not sure what i did though lol
The firmware update seemed to go through on my Mac, but I can’t seem to enable 4 Banks Mode Internal. I can only toggle between off (LED’s off) and “external” (4 LED’s on). Internal is supposed to be indicated by 2 LED’s, right? Also, the FX Hold is not working which is another indicator that the new firmware didn’t take.
EDIT
Using the Windows firmware updater had the same results as above. Manually updating the firmware using Flip and the .hex file from Sourceforge allowed the firmware to actually update. I now have access to 4 Banks Mode Internal.
