my write is on tape is off parameter 84 is set to 1. ok question dont i need the words load in my led display before i send the patch?

No.  If the sysex load works correctly, you will see the program numbers counting up from 11 to 88.

 or is it automatic and the display just switches over when i send the file?

That's right.

and how do i get the load words without tape enabled? also there is parameter 85 what cshould that be set to? also parameter 86?

Parm 85 should be on;  86 doesn't matter.

Well, I tried that file on my machine last night, and it worked fine;  so I guess you're either missing something, or you have a problem with one of your machines.

Write Enable should be ON;  Tape should be OFF;  MIDI Channel (parameter 84) should be set to 1.
While the patches are transferring, you should see the DW8000 display counting up from 11 to 84.

I don't know what else to tell you, pal.

Hmmm...
not sure what's wrong  -- as long as you have parameter 84 (MIDI channel) set to one, these files should load.  I'll try them on my machine tonight, & get back to you tomorrow.
Meanwhile, does anybody else have a suggestion?

OK, I'm at my office & don't have access to the synth, but here are some things I can tell you:
1)  Tape should NOT be enabled -- we're using MIDI here.

Next, we have to verify that your computer & MIDIOX are correctly configured & connected....

2)  Verify that your computer MIDI Out goes to the DW8000 MIDI In; and that the computer MIDI In connects to the DW8000 MIDI Out.
3)  In the MIDIOX program, go to the "OPTIONS  - MIDI Devices" window, and make sure your computer's MIDI In & Out are selected.
4)  Verify that your computer & dw are communicating, by playing a few notes on your dw keyboard -- the MIDI monitor screen on your computer should show what you played.  Now, go to the "Actions" window & select "Keyboard" -- this allows you to press keys on your computer keyboard and play notes on the dw.
--- if that works, then you are correctly connected & configured.
Now, go to "View SysEx", open the "Command" window, "Send" sysex file --
this works for me, and has worked for other folks as well.

If you're still having problems, let me know, & we'll explore it further.

If you have a sequencer program that handles sysex (Powertracks,
Cakewalk, etc), just load the files into the sequencer & send them to
your DW8000. 
Another way is to download MIDIOX, a free program from www.midiox.com-
-this is a first-rate MIDI toobox which includes a generic librarian
window which works just fine with the DW8000.
ANOTHER way is to go to
http://www.tosbbs2.com/FileLibraries/Patches/Patches.html
and download the free DW8000 editor/librarian -- don't know if this
will work for the files you downloaded, but it's worth a try.
