myTRACKS upload debug

Sometimes, your computer won't see your myTRACKS to start an upload. Please see the tips below.

On rare occasions, uploading a new Set or Sound pack may fail.  Generally, you will know if the upload failed if you see two blinking red lights when you turn your myTRACKS on after the upload, and then powers off.  It is also possible that your myTRACKS will power up, and then freeze.  If your myTRACKS freezes, please unplug the USB cable and remove, then reinsert one of the batteries to recover.  You will need to try the same upload again to get your myTRACKS working.

Your Mac cannot find the myTRACKS

  1. In your Mac's Settings, go to Privacy and Security.  Look for "Allow accessories to connect" (This is only available on some Macs).  If you see this, please change it to "Always", and try the myTRACKS upgrade again.
  2. If that doesn't resolve the issue and your Mac has only USB-C ports, don't use the cable that shipped with your myTRACKS, instead try connecting the myTRACKS directly to your computer using a USB-C to USB-C cable.
  3. Restart your Mac. USB connections can be finicky. Restarting your Mac may help, or restarting your myTRACKS.

These blinking red LEDs indicate the upload failed

Usually a second attempt at the upload will fix the problem.  Try the same upload again to see if it works.  Make sure you do the exact same upload again to fix the problem.  For example, if you tried to upload a Sound pack and it failed, attempt to do another Sound pack.  If you tried to upload a Set and it failed, attempt another Set upload.

We have found that sometimes plugging in the myTRACKS directly to a computer, instead of a USB hub, can help improve reliability.  

We have also found that unplugging other USB devices from your computer’s USB can also help with upload reliability.  If you can unplug all non-critical USB devices, and plug the myTRACKS directly into your computer’s USB port, the upload should work.

Please make sure you are using the latest version of the Google Chrome browser to do the uploads.

If you are unsure if it was an Instrument or Set upload that failed, we have a full Recovery upload. This updates both the Instrument and Set to the defaults. Try it here:
