Re: Midi-Ox Sysex works

2004-09-05 by steve_the_composer

OK.  I finally got it to work on XP.  I had MidiOX 7.0 receiving, but 
nothing would make it send to the VZ--even though everything looked 
correct. It seems my interface had partially locked up--perhaps 
because I had several midi programs loaded at the same time.

SO, I rebooted the computer and the interface.  This time, I ran ONLY 
MidiOx.  I was able to send the files directly to the VZ via MidiOx.  
Try this.

BTW, what computer/OS and interface are you using?  Is there anything 
else in your set up which might be affecting the data flow?

With MidiOx, under MIDI Devices, the only ports I selected were the 
in and outs for the port connected to the VZ.
For port routings, I have MIDI-OX Event Port going directly to the 
port with the VZ.

I have sent vz.syx files successfully to the VZ with midiox about a 
dozen times.

Hope this helps.
