After a lot of failed tries on 3 different Android phones (2 of them didn't even find the keyboard, the other one kept getting stuck on "connect back to device"), what worked for me was to unpair every device from the phone and select the "mandatory upgrade" option
Trying to use Koala with the SMC pad, Bluetooth pairs but won't connect no midi, any suggestions, I have tried everything. No midi signals are being sent, it's paired just won't connect ?
@@M-VAVE will this driver work with mobile phones or tablet, to pair and connect, it's odd that it pairs but won't connect have used an app to check if it's sending signal like midi but isn't. Is there a fix for Bluetooth when it doesn't send any signal ?
i have sm mixer I can summarize my problem as follows. in the default Firmware 10 version that came when I bought it, the mac recognized and connected to bluetooth But in logic pro 10, when the audio channel was soloed in the mixer, the lights were not on and the faders of some channels were not working. Lights that should not be on were on the channels, such as the inactive record button. after this stage I decided to install firmware. I installed it from the phone. In version 11, the connect icon appears in the midi studio bluetooth section, I press it and it does not connect. it connects from the phone but not from mac studio even though there is a connect icon.
Because the software is just bad, there is usually only 1 way it works, and you have to find that out by trial and error cause M-Vave doesn't explain exactly how to do it. i have been messing/wrestling with the Blackbox upgrade every single update to get it to work and by retrying sometimes for 40 times i finally find some way that works, the support is just nothing short of disgusting. I'll sell my M-Vave products and buy a NAM player, i'm kinda done with M-Vave's cheapass nonsense.
On android sincoOTA v1.0.5 it was also no working for me (to upgrade choco+ from v9 to v10 I removed choco+ from bluetooth and did not add throughout the upgrade process. I went into android settings to apps & notifications to grant "app permissions" to sico but also "force stop" and "clear cache" Then I downloaded the last FW and open "using synco" switch on Choco+ "scan device" (do not accept android pop up to pair, continue only with sinco) then select choco+ (there will be a tick next to it) to make sure it is connected in "upgrade" section select "get version": if connected it will show it. Then select the new FW and hit upgrade. it took a bit longer than the vid to 1-download to choco+ then 2-install I got the ota success
@@M-VAVE Yes, it connected correctly to Cubesuite on Android and on PC I discovered that it doesn't work without being connected to a charger. That is, this device is connected with two cords, one to my effects processor (NUX MG-30) and the other to the charger. As it turned out, the battery has nothing to do with it, you can just throw it away to lighten the device. Perhaps someone else who knows what they're talking about can somehow make (or replace) the internal battery to work as a power bank... It's a pity, when I ordered it, I thought it was connected with just one cord =(

my smc pad upgrade worked thank you
You're welcome
@@CarlCarson362 do you use this over Bluetooth at all, does the upgrade make the Bluetooth work or update it ?
Nice!! Already upgraded mine!❤
Not response for chocolate version 1

BLE connection requires downloading the driver, please watch the video tutorial ua-cam.com/video/AsETjyVcxQg/v-deo.html
@M-VAVE but I am using mobile phone/tablet to work with Koala, not pc. Will this work with a mobile phone etc

@@davidhenderson7433 A mobile phone or tablet software with BLE MIDI can be used for connection. If not, you can download a driver
@@M-VAVE where is the driver is it the M vave site thanks

it connects from the phone but not from mac studio even though there is a connect icon.
Try to remove device from Bluetooth devices and then pair again. For me it was helpful.
no update for IR BOX yet? i need an option to disable audio io loopback
How do I stop auto pairing? I want to use A & B on seperate devices as two seperate BLE devices. I don't want them to connect to each other.
Smc pad is not working
Is it so difficult to make for all M-VAVE devices firmware update via USB? 👎
Tried it on different phones, the result is a fiasco!

@@MrAntisound That's a good point 😉
Can't upgrade:
download loader > connect bact to the device > connection failed > ota fail

@@amelianceskymusic If the software has BLE MIDI, you can connect. If it does not have BLE MIDI, you need to install the driver.
Is this for mvave midi controller v1?
No, this is Plus
smc-pad after 99% loses device and does not update firmware!
Similar problem withsmc-mixer. Download the firmware into the device, disconnect and doesn't connect anymore (stuco ok "connecting back device")
Same, the SMC mixer is not connecting to bluethoth anymore after the update. The update breaks the device.
smc-mixer as well
cube baby need little attention sir
Smc pad is not working.
You can contact me on Facebook (M-VAVE Zhang) and send me a video of your question
SMC Mixer: SincoOTA can not connect back to device after firmware updating, got OTA fail message. How to fix?
Solved. Upgrade from iPad went flawlessly and now it works OK.
