The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hi all !
I have no problems with a "less than basic" USB - MIDI interface 
(Prodipe 1 i/o) either with XP SP2 and now XP SP3. Never tried with 
Vista or Seven... It does not need any driver. It is not the fastest 
available, but i've never lost a single byte...If yours needs any 
driver, try to download the latest available, maybe more "Seven compatible".

IMHO it's the first thing to test, AN1x edit is more than 10 years old...

That's the second test to do.... MIDIox is a freeware easily found on 
the web that dumps, loads and displays any MIDI code. If you only want 
to save your patches it's a good "spare wheel". Files are stored in .mid 
form.
Cheers.
