Hello!
I have just been reading your post about remote 25s from 3 years ago! I
just installed a nice fresh debian testing etch system and was shocked
to find the remote 25 appeared in my list of midi ports in qjackctl -
wow. Can't find any docs about this on the web so thought you might like
to know, It's a stock debian 2.6.15 686 kernel using the alsa drivers
that come with it.
Hey Matthew,
Thanks for letting me know. I've just recently been itching to get my
remote 25 working again and I've also been seriously considering moving
my audio box from sarge to etch. So, your news is very welcome. I'm
cc'ing the list in case anyway else might be interested.
My Remote 25 has been sitting here in front of me on my desk unused and
collecting dust and cat hair for at least a year. If I remember
correctly it still has the original 1.0 firmware version. Do you happen
to know what version your's has? Do you or anyone else have anything to
say about updating firmware on these devices?
Thanks again,
Eric Rz.

I recently updated my firmware to 2.3.0.3. Just download
http://www.novationmusic.com/files/ReMOTEOS2303.zip, activate "New O/S
from USB" in the "global" menu and send the SYSEX with amidi. Restart
the remote25 and you're done. To see the full OS version number press the
F4 key while switching it on.
regards,
Sebastian

This doesn't appear to be working for me ... I got the file from
novation and unzipped it. amidi -l shows the remote 25 as hw:0,0,0. I
went to "new o/s from usb" in "global" as you said. The display says
to
press write. I press write, it says "waiting new o/s". Then I send it with:
amidi -p hw:0,0,0 -s ReMOTE2303.syx
The ReMOTE says "RCVE 2.3.03" ... but then just sits there. The print
manual I have says it's supposed to display a % complete status and then
prompt for the reboot, but that doesn't happen.
If I reboot, I'm still at 1.0.05.
hmm ... maybe something's funky with the laptop's usb ports ... I just
tried the whole thing on the other port and now I get to "RCVE 2.3.03
00%". So, the % complete message shows up now, but doesn't progress.
Is amidi supposed to return right away, or should it keep running until
the ReMOTE has finished?
Thanks,
Eric Rz.
Anyone have any ideas or suggestions?
Is it possible that my OS is too old to update properly? i.e. maybe I
need an intermediate version first ....

It may be possible that the old firmware doesn't manage the full speed
that can be achieved with USB. Try routing the MIDI data through a real
MIDI cable so that it's throttled to the standard MIDI data rate.

This worked fine with the ReMOTE 25 connected to midi/joystick port on
my ymfpci based card in my main audio PC. For other's reference holding
down f2,f3 & f4 while switching the unit on brings up the load o/s from
midi option. Pressing write puts the device in wait mode, then amidi can
send the sysex. After restarting again I now have it updated to firmware
2.3.03.
Thanks everyone.
