Make sure that you have a reliable source of AC line power. Do not turn the Motif off until the updater indicates that you can do so. As long as you do those things, it’s very unlikely that you’ll have a problem. By the way, you shouldn’t have to “think” about which OS version your Motif has - the Readme file explains how to check. Read and follow the instructions. |

Be sure to SAVE an ALL File backup to USB flash drive prior to any OS updates! |

There’s really no reason not to upgrade. The latest version is very stable. Just be sure to do a Save All first!! |

Questions like this almost always come from Windows users. Yamaha O.S. updates, unlike Windows updates, have NEVER “broken” anything, to my recollection, in the 25 years I’ve
You see, contrary to what Windows (and some Mac) people experience, Yamaha O.S. updates actually fix things and sometimes even add very useful new features, which work. |

Looks mine is 1.12. Still safe to update to 1.4x? |

Yes, just as safe as from any other previous OS version. |

Hi, I hope someone can help me. While I was upgrading the Mox6 the power supply was cut off and now it does not power on anymore. Can I solve alone? |

If by “does not power on anymore” you mean that your MOX6 appears totally “dead” when attempting to turn on it on, then the 12v power adapter might have failed. However, for that to happen while doing an OS update would be unusual.
More likely…
