Re: [Ensoniq-VFX-SD] Re: MIDI connectivity issue

I think I got to correct that: Baud rate on the (serial) midi connection is always 31250. This cannot be changed. What can be fixed is the size of chunks being sent (usually referred to as buffer size) and the delay between them. While programs like VFXLIB and Soundlib unfortunately cannot adjust these settings simple midi dump programs like MIDIOX can do (and send and receive the sysex files created with VFXLIB and Soundlib).
Well, that's only to appear as a know-it-all. The problem was solved anyway ;-)

The standard BAUD rate for MIDI is 31250 bits per second, at which
setting the VFX will work fine :) True - If You 'shoot' at the VFX it's
going to cry :)

It's a long time ago I used those librians, so I forgot that setting :S
I bought a Evolution UC-33e and are setting it up for the VFX-SD! So if
anyone in here have that (brilliant, cheap) controller I might Upload
the Map when I'm done. Anyone? :)
