I had the same trouble the other day. Are you using a MOTU midi interface by
any chance? It is what I have (Midi Express 8x8). They are known for having
problems with large sysex files.

Oh I wish this was possible. I recently bought a bunch of patches from
EasySounds (http://www.easysounds.de) and they are all in sysex format. I did
eventually manage to get some of the sound banks loaded but I don't think it
was with Cakewalk. I'll see if I can figure out what I used.

Wonder what we could do to bribe Gary into adding this functionality to
AN1x-Edit. :-)
