|
|
Hi folks!! I'm having a problem loading the factory presets in sysex format onto my M1 from PC. I'm using Midiox and the midi transfer hardware is 'Midi mate'. Everything seems to be working perfectly except when the download indicator bar gets 1/2 - 2/3 full, a message appears which says "!Sysex Output Devices: The port is transmitting data to the device. Wait till the data has been transmitted, and then try again". Then the download stops. The result is I get a range of sounds on the M1, but the names are still "Init Program" on all of them, and all are clean sounds - no effects (delays etc) on them. The pitch bender doesn't work, and the first sound is not the recognizable 'Universe' sound. Any ideas what's happening? Is my computer too slow to transmit? Should I be adjusting the Midiox software? Appreciate your help! |

There is a setting in Midiox which will slow the data rate down, I can't remember the exact name 'cos I am in Mac land. But look on the settings in the sysex window or the option for the inter buffer pause time. That should help.

Wow, thanks dude! I'll give the article a look (I'm an Aussie living in Singapore for now, so I should be working!!!). So what you're saying is that slowing down the transfer rate should help ensure the data is transferred correctly. Will get back and let you know how it goes. Cheers! |

Hey Daz! It worked!! I have the original sounds onboard now
Another question - is there any room to load additional sounds onto the M1 while maintaining the original sounds? If so, how do I go about doing it? And if i modify the sounds onboard, can i then save them while maintaining the original sounds? |
