I had the same trouble the other day. Are you using a MOTU midi interface by
any chance? It is what I have (Midi Express 8x8). They are known for having
problems with large sysex files.

Yes.. we are using a timepiece AV....by MOTU....

Oh I wish this was possible. I recently bought a bunch of patches from
EasySounds (http://www.easysounds.de) and they are all in sysex format. I did
eventually manage to get some of the sound banks loaded but I don't think it
was with Cakewalk. I'll see if I can figure out what I used.

Please, that would be a great help...

Wonder what we could do to bribe Gary into adding this functionality to
AN1x-Edit. :-)

PLEASE GARY!!! come on, throw us a bone! ;o)

Writing a converter between SYX format and AN1xEdit format would be fairly
trivial (after all An1xEdit can already export to SYX format).
Unfortunately, I am snowed under with other projects at the moment. However
if anyone wants to write a converter, the file formats for .AN1 are
available for download from the Yamaha UK support site.

Perhaps Charles-Emmanuel de Reus (the guy who wrote the AN1x Genetix add on
for An1xEdit) would like to knock one up (as I have already sent him the
file formats for .AN1, .ANP and ANS). Also if you haven't tried his Genetix
program....give it a go.....you can actually create some good sounds with
it!

Regards

Gary
