Maybe, but it doesn't quite make sense to me - the "request identity" command for instance is only 6 bytes, whereas I can send a stream of pitch bend commands to the synth with no problem at all.
Also, the manual dumps consistently miss out the 2 data count bytes. Interestingly, exactly the same problem that Lance Taylor reported and that you analysed in http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/AN1x-list/message/12042. As far as I can see, the 10 0E part is a correct response, and 00 06 00 is a correct address, it's just the data length that is missing.
I wonder if there is a pattern to what data is missing from the dumps - can anyone provide correct factory setting dumps so that I can compare them?

Yes, I am certainly intending to do so, but I'd like to understand why exactly this cheap one is failing.
