You should see the Glide switch turn off, the MIDI light flash, and the VCO 1 switch LED blink several times while the system file is erased. When the erasing is complete, the Glide switch will blink again.<\/li>\n<li>Next, go back to the SysEx Librarian window and select &#8220;Minitaur_firmware_v2_1_0.syx and press the Play button at the top left. The VCO 2 waveform switch LED will blink as the unit receives the new firmware.<\/li>\n<li>When the process is complete, the Minitaur will reboot with update functionality.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","categories":[],"tags":[53763,34259,68203,66849,53762],"storecat":[],"itemids":[9148],"manufacturers":[33562],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Check out the How do I update the firmware on my Moog Minitaur on a Mac? page at Sweetwater \u2014 the world&#039;s leading music technology and instrument retailer!\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sweetwater.com\/sweetcare\/articles\/how-do-i-update-the-firmware-on-my-moog-minitaur-on-a-mac\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"How do I update the firmware on my Moog Minitaur on a Mac? - SweetCare\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"***Please back up your presets before updating the firmware on your Moog Minitaur.
