If I set the sysex at the levels suggested in the manual I get "crash" and the synth reboots. When set slower again to 64 X 8-byte buffers with 2000ms delay between them i get one of the following numbers cycling on the display every 5-10 seconds:
There is no sysex output from the synth after all has been sent, so im not sure if the patch are properly copied. When i reboot the synth many of these factory patches are working however many are not also some seem to have fm applied?
Any ideas what could be causing this problem or could you suggest a way to proceed from here? Also just to clarify only the 4 banks of patches available from sourceforge are to be installed using the Tools>patch mode and only Poly-800mk1/EX-800 sysex dumps are sent in normal operating mode right? Thanks again Mike!
Regards
Dave

That would of course make some sense and indeed I intend to rewrite the code to do just that but at the moment you send the EX-800 and MK2 dumps to the HAWK while in normal operating mode ("11 P").
Give that a go. And yes, the owners manual is a little confusing on that issue. But the good news is that when I make the change to put it into Tools mode the operating will be much better at handling the bulk dumps.
