I have the same feeling that could be something about the midi 
interface. I will try to disconnect eveything off from usb.
but what do you mean with "send the sysex one chunk at a time from 
sounddiver"?
how can you send midi directly from the sounddriver? how do you 
divide the chunks?

this evening I will try also with mediaplayer, and I think I will 
check if there is some update for the drivers

thx to everybody for the help!

The first interface I used was through my JLCooper MSB REv2+, which 
mangles everything sent through it.  I tried an Edirol UMX thing 
next.  I tried a bunch of programs but always got only a partial 
upload.

data (as well as bad voltage regulators).
