[A6] corrupted banks

[Chris Pickett]

Hi Richard,

Sorry ... I'm having problems with my smtp server and saved this message 
as a draft without remembering to send it ...

In MidiOX:

select view, and then sysex.  this opens the sysex window

go to sysex, and then configure in the sysex window.

there should be settings for low level input and ouput buffers (4
different numbers).  they should be 2048, 128, 2048, 128.

delay (milliseconds between buffers): 250

first checkbox: delay after f7: 250

5th checkbox also ticked.

...

these are the settings that worked for me.  you have to open and send
the banks using the controls in the sysex window ... not sure if it
works in the rest of midiox, haven't tried it.

i'm using version 6.5.1.346

and check the things proto suggested as well, it might be a problem with
your midi device or something.

cheers,
chris
