Analogue-sequencer

Came back this evening, read your email, Colin, crossed fingers, turned on the p3, and ran that bootloader dump.

It went fine.  I loaded the new firmware.  That went fine too.

I then started messing about trying to get P3tools to work, to no avail.  Then tried messing about with midi ox, doing sysex dumps
and stuff, but, i must admit, im fairly lost here anyway.  I do know that p3 tools manages to both request and transmit a few units
(?) but then expires as the retries increase.

Then, just in the course of things, i turn on the p3, whilst holding func and page, and, sure enough, i get "Checksum = 20DF", and
little else.  Been waiting a while now, but it should show something else, like boot and flash, right?

Now i wont pretend i know what im talking about, but, could the length of time that i had the unit off for have made a
difference?  Some cap somewhere slowly discharging or something?

Somewhat confused here.  Never tried to dump off any sysex before from the p3, so i have nothing to go on, but things certainly
don't seem to be working as id expect them to, esp. considering i now seem unable to enter the firmware update screen...

Confused, i am...
