Hhmm, doesn't sound good :-/
Have you tried to reset your AN200?
1. Turn the power OFF.
2. Press and hold the [SHOW VALUE], [PATTERN], and [EXIT] buttons on the AN200, then
turn ON the power to execute the Factory Reset. This will take about 20 seconds.
What type of MIDI Interface are using?
The AN series has always been known to have unusually large SysEx file sizes hence the
reoccuring posts to AN1x-list indicating trouble with bulk dumps. USB MIDI Interfaces and
low cost, MIDI I/O as found on Sound Cards are freqently suspect. A quality, multiport
MIDI Interface is a good choice and serial port types are often the most reliable.
That said, I would advise 1) see if you can reset your AN200 to a working, default state
and 2) retry the bulk dump of the .MID file using a drasticly reduced Tempo in your MIDI
Sequencer.
