Hello Jon,
It seem that the An1x can't work properly with USB. I also checked
Edirol and have the latest drivers. This morning I tested by
connecting to a joystick midi port and didn't experience any problem.
Everything seems to work properly now ! Even the bulk dump.
Thanx for the good advice,
Ginz.
