Yes, be sure to check the track assignment if you are using a multi-port midi
interface. Also, you will probably need to set the AN1x global midi channel to
1. Most .mid files are made to use channel 1.

Especially if you are using the MOTU express series of midi interface. I have
had to slow AN1x .mid files down to 30bpm to get them to load properly.

I will probably upload them to SampleLibrary.net anyway. It would be nice to
have them all collected somewhere. There is a huge collection of patches for
the EX5 series on the site.
