Of course(?) it is about usb midi interface ;) ESI RomI/O with latest
drivers in Win2k. Can't really recall the syntax of the error message it's
just message box saying ∗ ∗ ∗ ∗ [forget to write it down back home] ∗ ∗ ∗ :)
... and of course it is not possible to change any setting in ESI driver :(

Yes, that's what I suspected. I need to take my synth to our 'studio' and
test the sysex sending there, because in there we have quality PCI midi
interface. And if it is not working there, then I need to write my vital
patches down to blank charts from the manual and do factory reset.


Cheers,
TimoS
