Re: I can't bulk dump my banks successfully to VF-1 Editor . . .

. . . Ok, so it seemed to me that, before I wrote my last post, I had read another post wherein Ryan was talking about different sizes between the SysEx dumps between firmware 1.10 (which I have), and 1.12 and 1.13 (which he built the Editor for, and with which his Dump features work fine. Jeremias even chimes in, during that discussion saying that he had the exact same problem that I now have.

So it seems like it should be a simple enough task to flash my VF-1 with the new firmware, except . . . : I have read some of the Horror Stories of some of the people in this group that have COMPLETELY LOST their VF-1 to what they thought would be a simple Firmware Flash.

So . . . what is the best way to do this Flash? I've had this VF-1 for 14 years, and I REALLY don't want to lose it. And, at the same time, I would like to gain some functionality through loading up all the patches into the Editor.

The real-time editing functions, btw, are working fine, and I can already see how the Editor already opens up a different world for my VF-1. Thanks again, Ryan.
