Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

I'm trying tou send sysex files to my VFX SD, but it does not respond ... Everything is correctly set, sysex=on, sending from midiox ok with a motu microlite, but nothing happens ...

Same MIDI channel? Same Device Number if applicable? All MIDI setting  
in computer OK? Does your setting work with another synthesizer?

If not, problem can be in computer - general MIDI setting, MIDI  
setting in application, wrong data you want to send, SysEx filter  
somewhere activated, wrong MIDI channel in transmitting device or  
transmitted file or receiving instrument, wrong device number in  
instrument, receiving SysEx not activated or filtered, Memory Protect  
On in instrument...

Or wrong MIDI cable...

Try:
- different data
- different instrument
- different setting
- different cable
- different MIDI interface
- different application
- different computer
- or everything this

Easy job, or ... :-)

Good luck!

OK can you dump sysex to your computer?

In other words have you reversed he midi in/out cables?

Everything's ok. Wrong midi cable.
Works fluently.

Great. So elimination method works, one by one try to check everything  
and the reason must be found :-)
