Dave Smith Instruments SYNTHESIZERS

hey,

I loaded MIDI-OX.... set the output buffer up as SKI suggested...  
set up my midi output, plugged my Evolver into that sucker.  When I 
try to send the PIC sysex file I can see the data going out on my 
MIDISport 2X2 usb interface.... but nothing happens on my evolver 
once it's done transmitting.   I tried sending MIDI note data as well 
and there is no response from any of the programs.   i checked both 
the dsp and pic versions and they are both at 1.0 currently (this is 
a used unit, serial number 00088)df.   

I have no other MIDI Devices plugged in.  I've only got midisport out 
plugged to Evolver in.   
tried 2 different midi cables.   tried pluggin my remote 25 MIDI 
keyboard into it and it doesn't seem to be responding to note data.  
functionally everything else is working fine.

Any ideas??  is this a back to dave issue?
