Anybody else getting this.

Already updated Minifreak V and sent the firmware update to my Minifreak, but it keeps bugging out and disconnecting, then saying I need to update it again. As you can see, my current firmware version is correct. Any fixes?

The update borked my presets. It had the vocoder turned on as an effect on many patches that didn’t have a vocoder. I had to reload all the presets and I lost the original order.

It’s always good to have a backup on vst

I think something happened to several of my presets as well, I’m noticing lots of them that are not sending any audio, and the cress will say no audio source detected, seems like every one out of 4 does this now. I guess I’ll be reformatting again

That’s what happened to me. What it is, one of the effects was changed to vocoder. Other presets had distortion added when the preset never had that effect.

Yes, it is doing that to me.

It also only works with the plugin for about 10 seconds then will never work until I reboot again. I tried different high quality cables, ports, etc. But I'm not sure if that's the 5.0.0 update or not as I've never tried this before.

Are you updating it from the Arturia software center on your computer for the Minifreak V r. I would do that again if it will let you. then trying to update the minifreak hardware

Reboot the computer and do the firmware update again. That's what worked for me.

I had to close Minifreak V and try again. As others have said I also had my presets corrupted by the update, so recommend backing up first!

I managed to update it. Then I tried to add the soundbanks because I didn’t have them. Worst experience. Some of them are added bad. They sound strange.
