Re: .syx files here not working for me

2009-06-13 by Roger Campbell

Hi Folks

at the risk of being repetitive, don't forget that the VFX series like 
their SysEx delivered to them S-L-O-W-L-Y, in-fact VERY slowly.  I used 
to use an old sysex transfer programme in OS-9 exclusively simply 
because it let you slow the transmit speed down (a lot).

(and yes, for those wanting to be technically accurate, the bus speed at 
which midi works is fixed (32k isn't it?), BUT the packets are sent with 
time delays between them when one "slows" the transfer down. The vfx 
likes this approach a lot!!).

This caused me endless grief until I found this out this key bit of info...


Good luck with it



Cheers
