Re: VZ sysex bulk data transfers and error messages

2004-09-05 by phonophobie

Hi Steve! Many thanks for the infos! 

I just tried to send that VZcard09, but still getting the same message
( Load Error / Check system ! ). 
I don“t have used "deBug". (is this a freeware application?). So i am
not sure about the midichanel within the datafile.

here is what i did (used MidiOx):
02 MEM PROTECT - INTERNAL OFF
04 MIDI CHANNEL -  I set it to "1"
05 MIDI DATA - ECLUSIVE enabled
03 LOAD - LOAD/SAVE > MIDI > [data type] > YES, YES

As soon MidiOx starts to send the sysexdata, the VZ-10m gives me that
error....

is there anything i am doing wrong?
