LP OS 2.00 for Stage Edition - get it here

Happy Birthday, Dr. Robert Moog!

Moog Music is pleased to present the latest operating system for the LP Stage Edition; version 2.00!

As many of you are excruciatingly aware by now, this update includes new features such as an arpeggiator with MIDI sync (and MIDI note output from the arp), MIDI sync-able LFO, Tap Tempo, and a whole new bank of tasty presets ranging from pure vintage tones to the ultra-modern.

<click here for the Firmware Update Utility for Windows>

<click here for the Firmware Update Utility for Mac OS (intel mac only)>

<click here for the sysEx file - only if you have an older Mac. Otherwise use one of the above Firmware Update Utilities.>

UPDATE! command-line updater for LP Stage Edition OS 2.00. Runs under Windows. May work where the graphical Windows installer does not (especially with USB MIDI interfaces).

OK, try this out, have fun... READ THE INSTRUCTIONS before doing the update... make 100% certain you have the latest drivers installed for your MIDI interface before attempting the update; I can't stress this enough.

Please use this thread to post your questions and comments about the new OS, and let me know if you have any troubles with the update process. I've tested it pretty thoroughly and it should be a smooth ride.

Enjoy!

-Amos

Excuse me if this has been asked lately, as I have been away for a while. I did not see it on a quick glance at the site.

Are we ever going to see this new update for the Tribute Edition? Supposidly it was going to happen, but I have not heard about it yet, and I see nothing about it on the site (unless I missed it).

Will the TE still be getting an arpeggiator and a clock synced to MIDI?

Thanks!

To quote Amos from the previous OS 2.0 thread:

"For people with questions about the Tribute Edition: I can only say please be patient and don't worry so much! We'll take good care of you. There will be a TE update which does NOT require any hardware update and which improves the "EGR matrix" noise solution. This version will NOT have the arpeggiator and other v2.0 new features, because it physically can't. There's no room for the extra code without a memory upgrade.

there will also be a TE release of OS 2.0 *WITH* all the new features, but due to the resulting size of the code, this version will require a memory upgrade. The memory upgrade will be inexpensive and readily available; we can perform the upgrade here at the Moog factory or (especially for overseas customers) we can send the new memory chip to you and you can have it fitted by your own technician, or we can recommend a Moog-authorised tech if there is one in your area. "

Thanks for the update, Ghost. That is the first I had heard about a hardware upgrade, but as I said, I have been away for awhile.

They do say that nothing comes easily...... its 2 am and I
just managed to get the update into the Phatty Stage after
3 hours effort.

I ran the auto updater and strolled away to get a cup of tea
thinking to myself how easy this all is. Came back to find
LP saying 'STAGE 1 ERROR CYCLE POWER'. No ammount of
fiddling around with my hardware/drivers could change this
so eventually I decided to upload the sysex using midi-ox.
I have a trusty Edirol UM-2 as my midi interface which I use
to talk sysex to a number of different hardware units no probs.
With Midi-Ox, the first install attempt got to Stage 3 and then it
hung. I waited for 40 min whilst I read on this forum about poor
Ghost's problems and started to think that I wouldn't be enjoying
OS2 for a while as I switched off the incomplete install Phatty.

Don't know why but I decided to try uploading the sysex once more
and this time it worked! The phatty sailed through Stage 3 to
completion. Very strange.

The Phatty now has an awesome arpeggiator! It took me a while to
believe that it worked as I didn't appreciate that the value selector
could be pushed. Doh!

Well done Moog team! Happy birthday Dr Moog!

Haha don't remind me! *shudders*

Glad you got it working eventually - nothing worse than gear trouble, except maybe woman trouble

Wow, somehow I missed this thread this morning...must be old age.

Anyway, thank you, Amos! Best wishes to for a happy holiday!

Will be installing mine later this afternoon after a quick shopping trip with the Mrs.

Update: Nice job on the updater. Did not have any problems with Win XP Pro (service pack 2) and running through a Delta 1010LT Midi interface. Nothing but Arp bliss here!
