The shortcut to load initialized patch settings on my Super 6 (listed in manual as Shift + Manual + Shift) is not working for me. Am I missing something here? The other weird thing is that sometimes it’ll randomly load the default settings when I hit a lit up preset button a second time. I’m on the latest firmware (I believe it updated from .6). ---

It’s just Shift + Manual to initialise the settings on the S6. Pressing a preset button a second time will take you to the edit buffer which by default is the same as pressing Shift + Manual. You can move from the edit buffer to any preset to compare it or find a slot you want to save to and then go back to the edit buffer by pressing on that preset a second time so you don’t lose the sound. ---

Then I can confirm it is not working! Shift + Manual does nothing. ---

Did you add the new init patch when updating the firmware? ---

Just to reiterate what @plas said, in the update process you have to delete both the firmware file ‘xos\_v\*.\*\*.bin’ and the init patch file ‘init\_patch\_v\*.\*.s6’, and then replace both files from the downloaded zip file I’d probably perform the update process again just to make sure.

I have the same problem with the super 8 after the new update 1.33 ---

Sorry meant to come back here and update, you were right I did not replace the INIT patch when I updated. I’m assuming that was in the instructions but I must have overlooked it. Thanks for your help everyone!
