Can everyone who is having the “error creating sysex” message please post their specific version of windows 7 being used?
Hey guys,
Scratch that - I think your problem is that your are maybe not getting the device in firmware update mode before clicking ‘OK’ at the screen which instructs you to hold down the four corner buttons.
You need to hold the four corner buttons until you get a ‘checker board’ pattern on the led’.
In this state ever other led is on, like so.

Once you see this pattern you can let go of the buttons and push ok.
Let me know if this was your problem.
I did that multiple times this morning, held the 4 corners down til the snake pattern stopped & checkerboard appeared, then clicked ok, got error message though…

weird, the checkerboard pattern is there, just not updating…

Just to confirm: this happens after it prompts you to manually put your Midifighter into bootloader mode? After you choose your Midifighter model from the drop down list?
Can you put the Midifighter into bootloader mode using the four corner method and then check the Device Manager (in control panel). Do you see “Atmel USB Devices”?
If not, do you see anything with a little warning icon (I don’t remember if its red or yellow)? If so, what?
For those having issue with “Failed to find MidiFighter in Bootloader Mode” while using the Midi Fighter Utility.
I’ve looked into this and it is having issues with the DFU driver installation.
Ill fix the installer over the next few days however for those who want it NOW I have prepared the following document detailing how to fix this.
Windows 7 DFU Driver Fix
Thanks for the quick response with the patch!
Do i need to undo what I was told to do on page 3 or will this patch cover everything?
JC
That covers everything
OK, a bit cumbersome but it worked, i’m updated now!! My log is below…
One last question, do I need 4 banks mode enabled for Ean’s “instant gratification” mapping?
Thanks for your help & patience…

Sorry, one more thing, I submitted the issue to Support but, I initially tried to update running the Mac version at home, i have 10.6.8, my error message said I couldn’t run the utility on this mac (macbook pro, 32 bit)…
Thanks,
JC
Heya Jdcasas,
I actually built the Mac version on our video editing machine running 10.6.8, so I’m really not sure why you are having this issue.
Is any one else having this problem with 10.6.8?
yep midifidler, im getting the same issue too. been getting the problem with the old app also. running the first generation macbook pro
I’m having trouble running the utility on a first-gen Intel MacBook running OSX 10.6.8.

Loving the app, but if one of the parameters to be able to edit was the Midifigher’s name that would be amazing, that way Traktor can autodetect which midifighter gets which mapping.
