DT 50 Firmware update

I am going to try this later today but i thought seek some input from my friends in this community. I have a HD 500 and a DT 50 1x12 combo. My question is has anyone here done the amp update using there hd devise as the midi interface? Wondering if it is possible? I dont want to buy an interface just for an update.

Re: DT 50 Firmware update

you have to buy and use a midi interface to update the amp . I highly recommend that you get an m-audio uno rather than a generic midi/usb adapter.
the generic ones sometimes work... but i wouldn't risk it if your intent is to update the firmware.

  Hi,
  
  This is what you are talking about? Sorry, I'm a total newbie
  http://www.m-audio.com/products/en_us/Uno.html
  
  I purchased a DT25 some months ago and I wonder if it's necessary to update it now. I can't find any announcement about a new firmware for the DT series.
  Also, there is no video to explain the connectivity process for the update?
  
  Thx in advance

    That's what I use and it works fine. My DT50 needed the latest update when I got it about a month ago.

  I'm trying to update through the midi ports on my X3L and I'm not getting anywhere. Do I need an interface as advised in this thread?

Re: DT 50 Firmware update

I have been using an iPod Touch with the MIDI Mobilzer and Touch OSC software to control the DT amps for quite some time now.

Cheers,

Crusty

    Re: DT 50 Firmware update
    
    I was asked once just what in the heck I thought the DT series amps needed for an update!?!?!...
    
    What’s New?
    12ax7 Normal/Boost Amp Default Reversed –FIXED
    
    Configure each Voicing independently per channel with*:
    Any 1 of 30 HD Preamps/Tonestacks
    Any 1 of 4 Negative Feedback Loop configurations
    12ax7 Normal or Boost
    Feedback Capacitor Tight or Loose
    Phase Inverter B+ Voltage High or Low
    Any 1 of 17 Cabinets
    Any 1 of 12 Reverbs with unique Decay, Pre-Delay, and Tone settings
    Configure XLR Direct Output Mic Emulation
    
    Reverb “spillover” between Channel A and B
    
    Perhaps a few things like this? Nice work Line 6 !
