USB Disk mode not working any more in Win11

Bug reports

Thank you Martin! This worked for me perfectly. Tiny bit of a hassle with all the screws but worked like a charm. I tried usb drive after 3.5 and still same result but at least I have a way to update it now.

I know it may not be needed but just curious…can this sd card be upgraded? :slight_smile: heheh I always have a mod/upgrade mentality.

Thanks again!

yeah, you can replace it with another card. The current firmware uses 32bit addressing though. ie. cards (or partitions) over 4GB will not work correctly. Till this very moment, we think that 4GB of data should be enough for a MIDI controller :slight_smile:

All mk2 has also an option to be extended with a CME WIDI Core module. The feature is tested but not fully supported in the firmware. It is something for times when everything else is completed :slight_smile:

Getting similar results on an Win11 machine that’s previously been used to update the E1. Drive shows up very briefly in My Computer, and if I’m fast/lucky I am in time to open it, which it does, but trying to navigate further into the directories to leave my new firmware file in has been unsuccessful.

Guess the lid’s going off then. Don’t violate my warranty =)

Edit: Lid off and on again, E1 on latest FW. Glad the SD-card wasn’t on the far side of the PCB! phew

I also have a problem with the USB disk mode not working on my E1 Mk2 under Windows 11 (version 23H2). When I enable the option ‘enable USB Disk’ on the E1, ELECTRA ONE does show up as a drive in Windows Explorer. But when I then try to open it, Windows Explorer freezes. And all other instances of Windows Explorer freeze as well. After a restart of the E1, Windows Explorer works again.

It is a used E1 Mk2 that I recently bought. So I don’t know what happened to it in the past. My first thought was to perform a factory reset. But I read that this can only be done with Martin’s help.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Unfortunately the issue cannot be resolved with the factory reset. The fix, actually a new and easier way to update the firmware, will be provided in the upcoming v3.7 release. It is currently in the beta testing.
