ah I see... just as I suspected, the problem comes from the fact that my "cable" doesn't even have a disk with drivers so I was using the windows' ones ): Guess I'll just bite the bullet and buy an expensive but reliable interface which comes with it's own drivers ^^ Thanks a lot again, guys! You ...

So you're suggesting that the problem might be from the drivers?

Huh, ran the test on my dad's win XP laptop and here's the result:


Odd enough, everything seems fine O__o doesn't it?

@xmlguy -- thanks a lot for the recommendation (and also for the helpful replies throughout the whole thread! :) ) @synthjoe -- I tried your method and here's what happened: 1- no data in both monitors (input and output) 2- still no data when i activated 'play notes from your computer keyboard' 3 ...

Ah, I see, thought so too. Guess I'll just have to deal with the preset programmes for tomorrow's concert and eventually buy a new interface. By the way, do you guys know any good and reliable USB-midi interfaces? .__. Preferably from online shops which offer international shipping... Thanks a lot ...

@synthjoe - thanks for the advice, I tried doing that twice but both times my laptop froze and I had to restart it but I'm starting to suspect that the MIDI interface I'm using is crappy :? @ xmlguy - here you go, I sent JayB's sounds to my keyboard via Midi ox and stopped the programme after ...

Just to clear this up - how long should I wait for the keyboard to stop processing the files?! Because I've waited for 12 hours or so and the same message was still appearing on the screen ("processing...") :( Thus I've always had to restart the keyboard at some point since it seems WAY too long for ...

Huh, so it might be from the keyboard settings after all? my current settings are as following: 02A - MIDI GLOBAL: ch=1 noteR= all 02B - local: ON 02C - ext out: MIDI 02D - midi filer: prg-ena aft-ena 02E - midi filter: ctrl-ena ex-ena 03 A&B protect off 03C page memory: on 04A midi dump: prog ...

The problem is that I don't want to restore the presets - I want to put a .sysex file because I need some of the sounds from it for my upcoming concert. I read everything from the manual and yet, even with the correct settings on the keyboard, I fail to send any .sysex files to it due to the above ...

Huh, if you were talking about the settings of the keyboard itself - then yes, I had those set correctly right from the beginning. I'll try sending a .sysex file again, let's see what happens tho I'm almost sure it'll give me the same error any other ideas why this might be happening? :roll: EDIT ...

Mm I have a bunch of .sysex files downloaded from the web - I don't quite remember where I got them since it was a few years ago but a guy I know gave me the links and he was using the sounds so I guess they should be working :roll: and I also have the .sysex file from JayB's site "You do have write ...

Ookay... now that's odd I tried uploading a different .sysex file at around 9 PM last evening and left the PC and X5D on for the night. When I woke up in the morning the code in the midi ox monitor output window was exactly the same as the one from right before I went to bed at around 2.30 AM (the ...

Agh, I hadn't checked the "Fill Display Windows As Bytes Come In" option - I'll try sending a different .sysex file with this option checked and hopefully I'll understand why this is happening

Ugh, I went out and when I came back home 2 hours later the keyboard had processed the files tho nothing seems correct - some banks don't make sound at all, other are distorted as hell AND on top of that instead of just going to the next number when I click the YES/NO buttons the X5D randomly ...

Thanks a bunch!!! Those worked like a charm :D I managed to send the .sysex file to my X5D without any errors but! is it normal for the keyboard to take so long "processing" the file? It's been 30+ minutes since I sent it from midi ox... I know the model is very old and yet the file is only 35KB big ...
