UPGRADING THE OPERATING SYSTEM
This is not caused by the Nova but by the transmitting device. This is caused by the software or the hardware used to transmit the
OS to the Nova. Do what it says, switch the Nova off & re-try.
If the problem re-occurs, then please look below.
PCs
PCs have the most problems. As said above this is not a fault in the Nova but the transmitting device.
In these devices it seems to be a compound problem with hardware & software. Some applications will work with some MIDI inter-
faces & not with others.
Solution 1 is try another sequencer / application.
Solution 2 is try another MIDI interface.
Solution 3 is try another sequencer / application with a different MIDI interface.
Cubase works most of the time depending on the version & interface.
Cakewalk works sometimes depending on the version & interface.
Logic works most of the time depending on the version & interface.
Media Player works sometimes depending on the version & interface.
Freeloader works most of the time depending on the version & interface.
Some USB MIDI interfaces do seem to have problems handling this data. Please contact the manufacturer to get the latest
Drivers / Operating systems for the interfaces. At the point of writing no USB interface known can reliably do this.
If none of this works...Try a different computer. Feel free to ask the sequencer manufacturer why large sysex files as .mid files are
incompatible with their application. (.mid files are meant to be an international standard)
Macintosh
Mac’s seem to be relatively trouble free. Problems have been encountered with older ones though. If you experience problems, the
same solutions as described above for PC apply.
Solution 1 is try another sequencer/application.
Solution 2 is try another MIDI interface.
Solution 3 is try another sequencer / application with a different MIDI interface.
Some USB MIDI interfaces do seem to have problems handling this data. Please contact the manufacturer to get the latest
Drivers / Operating systems for the interfaces. At the point of writing no USB interface known can reliably do this.
If none of this works...Try a different computer. However this is rarely necessary.
ATARI
Never had a problem ever, an 8meg 16 bit machine can cream the lot of them.
AMIGA
Bars & Pipes Pro works but it could be down to the interface.
WORKSTATIONS
Workstations such as KORG’s Trinity/X-series/O1w & ROLAND Workstations do not to our knowledge at this stage support sysex
as .mid files. They have Utility modes which can load sysex files but not in the Midi File format.
Basically this means the files downloadable from our site are not compatible with your workstation. You will have to use a computer
to upgrade your unit with this file.
