Re: Unable to send a SYSEX to EX800

2013-03-06 by benoitdmx

Hello Achim,

thanks for the tip... It's the explanation of my problem!
(Bonk, bonk, bonk = noise of my head hitting my desk)

In fact, my EX800 is correctly receiving the SYSEX since the beginning, but I was checking the edition buffer content, not the storage RAM. It's exactly the same approach on the Korg DSS1 (you never edit the banks, you edit a local buffer containing one program)... and I did not remember it 8-(

Thanks again for the help

Benoit
