Elektron Musical Instruments

this is the 2nd time i had to type all this soooo...

i have windowsxp os (i hope thats what os you mean), a MOTU fastlane-
usb midi interface. i make sure the midi out on the interface goes to 
the midi in on the monomachine. I load the .95 sysex file in either 
midiox with both nums @ 512 and both sizes @ 2048 or I load it in 
sendsx (you cant change settings, but thats what i upgraded to .93 
with, 1st try, no prob.)
i access the early function menu or whatever its called and make sure 
its waiting for midi upgrade by pushing trig 5. then i send it. the 
computer tells it sends, the interface lights up with a blinking led 
meaning it is active.

the 1st led on the left goes orange, then the rest go green from left 
to right sequentially, when it reaches the 16th the greens turn off 
and the orange turns on next to the 1st orange, the greens go on and 
so on.

most times i get a message saying midi transfer failed, switch power 
off and try again. sometime the monomachine just freezes, as in the 
leds stop lighting up, while the cpu is definitely enaged in its 
tranfer. these things dont always happen at the same time during the 
process, it varies, sometimes like right off the bat, and i mean like 
right when i select send on my pc. the most orange leds i got up to 
was something like 4 or 5. i got that post saying that a soft reset 
might help, so after an unsuccessful attempt, i reset it, sometimes 2 
or three times. sometimes i dont reset, but i still get the same 
results (error message or freeze) either way. So basically i do and 
observe all that and then repeat.

and this is exactly how i went .93, nothing is different this time 
going .95. 

i just remembered that there's a midi file version, how do you use it?

hope thats a lil mor specific.
