RE: [analogue-sequencer] Re: Mem-x Upgrade, OS 4.5 upgrade, Vista and formerly stored P3 sequences....

I've only ever tried it on an XP machine. I can't recall the detail but from
memory I got similar errors and had to fiddle a bit to get it to work. I
think the issue was that I had a midi merge box in the loop, direct
connection of the P3 to my midiman pc interface sorted it.
