Been out of the game for a bit, ready to get back at it with all the seemingly nice additions to the Ren.

I am running an MB pro Mavericks X, will I have any issues going from 1.4 to 1.7? I read that the hardware update had problems etc.

Thanks!

I haven't so far. BUT: I only use Studio with my MB Pro, Ren's connected to an older iMac running Lion.

Not to bet my mum on it, but I think it's only necessary if you want to use MIDI control mode...

The firmware update does not allow that, it is a function of the software, it doesn't matter what firmware is loaded in the controller when it is not connected to anything.
