Another weird thing w/ SysEx dump (Re: [elektron] SIDStation OS version & stuff)

2001-06-05 by Nick

Something else...

I just tried dumping one single patch, instead of all patches.  Here's
what happened:

Patch 0 is "SFX/Fire" (something I made just to experiment w/ noise
wave).  I have other patches up to patch #8.  Patches 9-99 were empty.

Now, I went into the MIDI-OX program to capture the SysEx dump as I was
going to dump only Patch 0.  The SIDStation said "Patch Sent", but while
it said it was sending, MIDI-OX reported no data coming through (and yes
all the cables are connected fine and all that).

However, there was a patch #9 -- an exact copy of patch #0, when there
was no patch #9 before.  So all the Single-Patch sysex dump did was it
copied the patch I intended to Sysex-send to the next available free
patch slot.

Perhaps I should just buy a Commodore 64 =/
