> Ok Here is an update to this weird problem. I can send a single patch from AN1xEdit to the synth by double clicking on the patch name in the editor but then it makes my whole synth go silent no matter what patch I am on, so i have to send the patch then store it in the synth and then I have to turn the synth off and back on again to be able to hear the sounds. The new patch is now stored in the synth. I can't figure out what the heck is going on. This is acting nothing like before. Could I have messed up installing the battery?

The backup battery's only purpose is to keep all the patch data in a
static RAM when the synth is off. If the battery was bad or the socket
contacts were bad, you could store the patches with the synth "on" but
loose all of them when you turn it "off".
But, to be completely confident, you can check it one more time... be
careful with the screws or any metal part, specially if it can roam
freely inside the case...:-[

Cheers.

>> Hi, I just changed the battery on my AN1x and it wiped out all my patches and replaced them with gibberish patch names that made weird sounds. So I did a factory reset which worked but then I hooked it up to my computer through the midi ins and outs (hooked it up in both directions) and setup an1x editor to use the soundcard to transmit the data and when i try to send just a single patch it says receiving bulk data on my synth and continues to flash that indefinitely. Did I do something wrong? I'm really confused by what its doing now. Its not acting like it used to which is when I hooked it up to an1x editor I could see whatever patch I clicked on in the synth right away and then could just store it right in the synth by pressing the synths store button. Neither can i see the patch that i click on in the editor in the synth I also can't seem to send the pacth either. I tried doing a bulk send from the editor just to see what it would do and the editor showed the patches uploading and the synth showed that it was receiving bulk data and then when it completed it went back to the patches showing the new patch that is on that number in the editor but when i tried to scroll to another patch on the synth they all reset to the factory patches even the one that had originally changed. Tried that twice with exact same result. I have no idea what in the world is going on. Help anyone, please... Thanks.
