The download and update went without any hitch whatsoever (Mac OSX).

Made a full backup of my patches first under 2.7.3....then made the upgrade to 2.7.5.

The TI Snow is still alive after the firmware upgrade....

[seanpace]

No side chain input support yet? :/

[L.F.]

All in all, a non-critical update.

I should have listened to you.

[Timo]

Knowing Access, they may probably add a small feature update for the TI at Winter NAMM.

I think Marc mentioned in the past they were working towards re-enabling the side-chain feature.

[Pighood]

It may be curtains for my TI....it and my Mac aren't on speaking terms since I tried updating to 2.7.5.
