Re: [xl7] Sysex too fast?

Hi Richard,

> Ok, fair enough, so I set my MIDI dump program to add a delay each time it sends an EOX (F7h). But even with a delay of one second for each EOX I still get the dreaded message on the XL-7. It seems to happen directly after the first sysex block in the file, and that sysex block at least is not big, something like 20 or 30 bytes at the most, leading me to believe the problem is actually something else.

I think you can experiment with MIDI -> Sysex Packet Delay setting:

"On playback from the sequencer, the SysEx data will be fed more slowly into XL-7 so that the its input buffer does not overflow, causing an error." (page 168, Rev. G of XL-7 manual).
