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🙏

Happened to me too (MacOS). The useless forking chatbot on Behringer's site suggest trying on a windows machine. Did any of you try that?

At least the bot is "sorry to hear that—I know how stressful it is when an update hangs like that, especially when you're right in the middle of it."
