Analogue-sequencer

OK...I got through the first steps.   I was able to dump and save my P3 memory to my PC using MidiOx.  I also installed P3 Tools2 on my studio PC, a Vista 64 machine.  It turns out I don't need to install MS .NET Framework on a Vista PC, the tools seem to work fine.  I was able to capture the memory using the P2 Tools2 using that setup.  

Next step was to load the new v4.5 OS to the P3.  That did not work.  After selecting the OS file using the FW option of the Tools2, a few seconds later I get "Failed: Retransmissions Exceeded" I have the simple 1x1 MIDI interface on the P3 MIDI in and MIDI Out #1....is that right?  Seems like the handshake loop is timing out.

I will check the archives and see if anyone else got this error.....

  If you are using v3, I *think* you can take a dump of the memory, then
  upgrade it to v4 format using P3 Tools 2 - but it's a long time since I used
  it.
  P3 needs to be running v4 to make use of the extra memory with MemX, though
  there is a patched version of v3 that will work with it.
