Actually, typing too fast - it's 3784, while the dump here has 32 packets of 127 and one packet of 100 bytes, yielding together 4164 bytes, 380 more than expected. There are also places, where the dump shows 4D 00 54 72 6B, where in the original file there's 4D 54 72 6B (track header). Either eLoader mangles the data in certain way, or MidiOx was not completely precise while capturing it...

3785 bytes, found it in Files section. Checking it against the dump...

Just to correct some of my assumptions:

2014/1/14 Bruno <brunorc@...>
In your case, the dump starts with "F0 7E 00 07 02 00 7F", which is the E-mu SysEx header, then there's 00, and... 4D 54 68 64! The dump

F0 7E is the Device Inquiry message; 00 stands for Device Id; 07 stands for File Dump; 02 means "Data Packet"; next byte specify the number of packet (modulo 7F) and number of bytes (00 7F). Then the data starts. However, after the MThd there should be 10 bytes and then the MTrk (4D 54 72 6B). That's not the case, there are two 00 bytes extra.

Steve, what is the original size of the StarSeeker.mid (in bytes)?

Bruno
