Subject: off-topic (a bit): single pattern/voice dump in dx200

Hi everyone,
Recently I bought myself Dx200 and noticed there's no single voice
dump option from the box. I like to keep my patches within the cubase
project file as sysex - with An1x there's no problem but
unfortunatelly the people of Yamaha gave no such a possibility to a
dx200 - that's quite dumm actually. So I started thinking and
recently I managed to configure midi-ox like this:
(MIDI INPUT) MPU-401 - a port to which midi out from dx 200 is
connected - TO -(MIDI OUTPUT) MIDI YOKE NT:1
and
(MIDI INPUT)MIDI YOKE NT:2 - TO - (MIDI OUTPUT) /a port to which midi
IN from dx 200 is connected/ 1-1010 MIDI (its an midi port from my
audio interface - Audiotrak maya 1010)
I set XG works input as MIDI YOKE NT:1 and the same with one of
cubase's channels,
as an output in dx200 editor I chose MIDI YOKE NT:2 when I make
'receive 1 pattern' in the editor, the data from DX200 goes
simultaneously to the editor and Cubase - I had to increase the sysex
buffer in midi ox to 2048 bytes, because the transfer was stopping
almost at the beginning - now it looks like the whole transfer is
being done but the editor transfer has to be stopped manualy, after
this the editing from the editor has no effect on Dx200, It is also
impossible to make another pattern request. What's the cause? I don't
know much about sysex and sysex setup, so maybe it's the matter of
buffers or so? I'm really looking forward to solution, because this
issue makes music making annoying. Thanks in advance.
