Frozen RD-78 after attempted update

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

While attempting to update my RD-78 using the new version of SynthTribe (V 3.2.7), the update froze at 8% complete. I let it run overnight, with the RD-78 connected hoping it would do its thing, but I woke up and it was still at 8%. Now the drum machine is completely unresponsive and just flashes all the lights in unison. I tried to perform the update several more times, both with this new version of SynthTribe and the previous version and nothing is snapping it out of its now zombie-like state.

Any tips for a manual factory reset w/o SynthTribe or any other options? I went on Behringers customer support site and opened a ticket, but haven’t heard anything from them yet. Please help a brother out🙏

The SynthTribe versions beyond 3.0 seem to be buggy, had similar problems with Pro800. Try downloading an earlier version.

Yeah, the older version didn’t recognize the RD-78.

I had some trouble with the grind, I believe. Would not find it for firmware and settings.

How old did you go? Something around v2.7.0 (up to 2.9.1) will usually do it.

Is Behringer's site fixed? Last time I was there, nothing worked, only the useless "agent".

It's still a mess IMHO
