Short description of the 2 issues:

Since yesterday old Midronome plugin started to disconnect/reconnect during playing, causing desynchronising from Ableton.
Stuttering always seem to happen, even when all other devices are disconnected from USB.

I thought I'd check to upgrade the plugin/firmware, so came to the conclusion I also needed to update Bootloader.

Device shows "ERR dAt" when trying to connect to Bootloader installation process after following instructions and pressing MUTE to continue.


Setup (devices connected and how):

Using MacBook Pro M2 Sequoia 15.1.1, device is connected to an USB hub. Like written in previous posts about this error I disconnected all other devices and shut down other MIDI software like Overbridge, etc.. and checked the Audio MIDI Setup to be sure.

Expected Behavior:

Either old plugin doesn't stutter anymore or be able to bootload / upgrade everything

Actual Behavior:

Device shows "ERR dAt" when trying to update Bootloader. No matter what I try.

Nome generation (I or II) and Firmware version:

Nome 1, firmware 3.0

More info:

I've tried updating Bootloader with both Daemon plugins (Midronome Daemon + U-SYNC Daemon) installed (making sure to completely uninstall the previous first). This did not work

After reinstalling the previous Midronome Daemon plugin the plugin worked for a bit until I started a new session this morning. Unsure what causes the plugin/device to disconnect/reconnect.

I've followed tips on these threads:

As written on the https://simntonic.com/pages/upgrade-the ... bootloader - the old bootloader does not support Sequoia.

I am sorry about this, there is nothing I can do about it (except make a new bootloader - which I did). You need to use the old bootloader once to upgrade to the new one, once this is done you can do any firmware update with Sequoia. This info was sent on both email and social media very shortly after the release of Sequoia.

So you will have to find either an older Mac or a windows machine to do the bootloader upgrade. To upgrade you only need to download and run a software, which takes about 10 minutes. It could be a friend's computer, a work computer, or even a public computer like in a library.

And regarding your other issue with the plugin, the latest version of U-SYNC is only compatible with newest Firmware, so since you're on 3.0 there might be some compatibility issues there.
On top of this there is an issue with USB in version 1.2, which is solved in version 1.3 - so updating everytghing has a good chance of solving it all
