WARNING: The original firmware did NOT work with the MK4. It turned my into a brick. They've replaced the firmware. I spent 20 minutes with Matt from MOTU and we reverted to the previous version and then updated to the new new firmware and we are back! I believe this is UltraLite MK4 only.

Did you get it fixed? Joel posted elsewhere how he fixed it. He re-downloaded the firmware which is the newer version, and then reinstalled that I guess. There’s more information in another post.

James, Dado,

It does fix it. You can call MOTU if you want them to walk it you through it (was put in the cue, received a call from Matt in about an hour). Otherwise the firmware is on their site. You do need to downgrade to the previous version, then find the new one, download it, open Pro Audio Control in your browser, and look for the tab near the bottom that says update/update by file. Find the file and hit OK, etc. I'd restart.

This is only necessary if you're one of the"early adaptors" who downloaded the "bad" file during the 1st day. It's been replaced on the "good" one.

Best,

Joel

Look at the post directly above yours. Maybe that will help?

What browser? Since the firmware update I have a problem with Pro Control in Edge, but Firefox works fine. Try Firefox - type localhost:1280 into the address bar to load Pro Control. BTW, you're posting in the Mac forum.

I don't see where can I download the older firmware for Pro Audio Controller. I see only the firmware for UltraLite mK4 ( and I have the latest )
