Hi Grant
I would recommend using AN1xEdit (but then I would...since I wrote it :-).
Get it from my URL shown below.
If you are using Cakewalk then you need to tweak the TTSSEQ.INI parameters.
In particular you need to ensure there is at least 100ms between bulk
packets and that receive buffers are at least 1024bytes in length (some AN
sysex messages are longer than 512bytes). Try:-
SysxSendPacketSize=1024
SysxSendDelayMsecs=100
SysxReceiveBuffersSize=1024
Regards
Gary

Hi, I just joined the list yesteday and am happy to see a list with some
activity. We use an AN1x in our studio for our TV work, and do love it. I
think it gets used in every piece we right, and is just one of those boards
that has the right sound for the job.
Unfortunately we have never successfully backed up and restored the An1x. I
spent a couple of hours yesterday trying to get it to work.
Using cakewalk's sysex window, I dumped one patch from the an1x, worked
fine. I then sent the patch back to an1x and I got an error of "Incorrect
size" on the An1x screen. So I edited the ttseq.ini file in cakewalk to slow
down the data transfer. This damn the An1x took the patch dump fine, but
when you try to play the an1x, its mute.. does nothing, you can change
patches but its absolutely mute, and local was ON.
I turn it on and off, and it comes back, but the patch of course is not
saved.
To work around this, I did it again, and even though the an1x was mute, I
went ahead and stored the patch, turned the an1x on and off and sure enough
the patch had sucessfully been dumped back and stored.
Ok, next I try to dump the whole keyboard. First using sysex window in
cakewalk. It computer stores the dump fine. When I try to send it back to
the An1x, it says "recieving midi dump" but when the computer has finished,
the An1x still says "receiving midi dump" and never comes back.
I tried recording the sysex dump from the an1x to a midi track instead at
80bpm. The data dumped fine, but when I set it back to the an1x, it would
say "receiving midi dump" and then say "recieved" within a second even
though there was another minute or so left of sysex data to dump!
I'm using Cakewalk pro 9.0 I can dump the Prophecy, cs1x, K4 and Nord Lead,
and JV1080 perfectly fine. Its just the An1x giving me hell.
Sorry for the long post, but we are really in trouble if we loose all these
patches we have tweaked or created.
Thanks
