100% Right no bull just right to the meat of it. Totally Subbed to this channel. I have a feeling he's going to teach me a lot about the modx+. Being a american I'm used to any educational videos having a english accent. To me a person just doesn't sound smart unless they are from over the pond. lol Im kidding of course. The Host of the video has a awesome instructional video voice is the point im trying to make. was trying to be funny but i failed big time. lol

Excellent, to the point instructions. Thanks.

Thanks for this, though I had an issue with Formatting USB. Had to select 'JOB' before I could access the Format feature; spent an hour going thru Yamaha manuals to find this (Reference Manual, page 202, 'Job' switch). I noticed you did not do this, any idea why not ? Also as you covered backup, was surprised that you did not cover restore too.

Hi John - Sorry, just seen this now - I guess my mistake was in assuming people had seen my earlier videos - OS2.0 update video covered restoring files and in the very first video I mentioned the "job" function - something for me to keep in mind for future videos...

Great video🙏🏻 how can i convert patch to modx format please?

Is there another way to get the update file? I've tried so many times to get it from the Yamaha site and the download fails every time. Different computers, internet connections and even a 5G connection.. but no luck.

Having owned a few Yamaha units in the past i was dissapointed with the Modx. Great sounds and features but I needed this as a standalone unit (no live performances though). I heard all the praises on all the reviews, but the sequencer is as important as the sound set quality to me. The last update appeased me & fixed a huge gripe {pattern sequencer) . Still not being able to play and audition sounds while recording was beyond annoying. I was eagerly looking to sell today and then...I stumbled across the Update inforrnation. Looks like it fixed my issue and added even more sauce to the mix. I may never love another. Modx may have just become my dream keyboard.

@@allenhart2449 which part? The firmware update solved most of my deal breakers. You can now select instruments during playback and record. I Still can not live mix with effects from the mixer view. Eq still makes you stop sequencer. Double tap on Rec button still goes to next song. And forgets unsaved changes on previous song. If you remember your instruments that data is still on that track. Re-add them and any mixer changes. There is a random bug on the volume mixer where a track is unaffected by the volume slider. Have not figured that one out yet. Let me know if anyone knows why that happens. What area are you having trouble with?

With my MODX8, I have version 1.10 (A little behind getting it updated). In watching the video, you state that you should update to version v2.0 prior to updating to v2.5. ok? But I do not see the V2.0 download on the internet. Huh… Here is my questions then: 1. Is that really correct that you should update to version v2.0 prior to updating to v2.5? Or did I miss understand you? 2. If correct, does someone have a version of V2.0 that I can download to use? Thanks for your help.

@@waveform-synths Thanks for your video and reply... To get additional confirmation, I also contacted Yamaha support and they stated with 24 hours that "No, that is not correct. The latest update always has all the updates from the beginning. If we made our customers install every update or go back and get the ones missing, that would be way too complicated and way too much work, and that's why there's only one on the download page." So, I proceeded with the V2.52 MODX8 update from V1.10.0 and another MODX8 at V2.00.1. Everything updated as expected (thanks for the video) with no issues. Thanks again, Scott

The MODX uses the FAT 32 format - which some computers only recognise up to 32Gb, but 64Gb drives and larger often come pre-formatted, so some clearly do recognise them. Try putting the drive into the MODX and saving anything to it - if that works OK, you should be good to go with your update...
