How to update TR-8S Driver Setup on your Mac

TR-8S Driver Setup's developer publishes each version on their own page at roland.com. Below is how to run that update yourself, then what Floodtide does about it, alongside every other app on the Mac.

Update TR-8S Driver Setup by hand

  1. Download the current build from roland.com. TR-8S Driver Setup's developer publishes each release at roland.com. Get the Mac build from there.
  2. Replace the old copy. Quit TR-8S Driver Setup, open the download and put the new TR-8S Driver Setup in Applications in place of the old one: a disk image is dragged across, an installer package runs its own steps. Your settings and documents live outside the app and are kept.

That is one app. The same walk, through a different menu or page each time, is what every other app on the Mac asks of you, which is where Floodtide comes in.

What Floodtide does about TR-8S Driver Setup

Floodtide's own signed catalog lists where TR-8S Driver Setup's developer publishes each release, and Floodtide reads that source directly to learn which version is current. When yours is behind, the row appears under Updates with the version that is out, next to every other app on the Mac that is behind.

The developer publishes the version but no download Floodtide can check, so Floodtide does not install this one itself. The update comes from TR-8S Driver Setup's own updater, or from the developer's site, and Floodtide is what tells you the day it is due.
