>>It's possible to convert a syx file to a mid file with suitable gaps
between the blocks. P3 shouldn't ignore that. I don't see why a data
filer wouldn't support it, if it plays mid files OK, but maybe the
Yamaha device ignores sysex, or doesn't support gaps between blocks ?<<

I think I'm going to have to look for a standard way to convert sysex
files to *.mid files.... an upgrade I just downloaded for summat else
(a mk1 supernova, since you ask, which has for years had "special"
buttons that don't do anything....) came as a midi song instead of
sysex. as it turned out, the file was damaged so I wasn't able to
upload it from either midi-ox or the yamaha.
things wouldn't be so bad if the damn datafiler would /record/ sysex
in the first place. then I could just run files into it from midi-ox
with some pre-determined buffer setup & keep a software library/backup
with the live rig. but it doesn't support sysex at all, which is a bit
rubbish. wish I'd bought the alesis one instead now.

btw- colin, I am the other fan of ms6's. I've got two now. my original
one arrived in 1994 & I immediately fitted it with separate outputs.
thank heavens kris maad is there to support them. does he have a p3 yet?
