Elektron Musical Instruments

Heidi,

From what you're telling me, I'm wondering if there's a problem with 
the Edirol driver in not being able to handle either the some of the 
large sysex records of the MD (the patterns with the parameter locks 
are large records), or that the entire sysex file is too large.  You 
might contact them.  It might be worth a try to increase your buffer 
size in MidiOx ( I provided my default settings to you in another 
message - those should be the same for you), but the entire MD dump 
is nowhere near hundreds of megs.  This sounds like some kind of 
memory leak.  I doubt the buffer size is going to matter.  Also, 
maybe contacting the author of MidiOx might get you pointed in the 
right direction.  Sorry I'm not much help.  Good luck.

Best Regards,

Joe
