Re: [elektron] Re: same ol sysex problems on the monomachine<-----------------

2003-12-14 by Brian Siu

Hey.

Sounds identical to a problem I was having about a
month ago.  I got by it by setting the pause between
messages at 250 ms, transmitting asynchronous. Haven't
had any problems since then.  If someone mentioned
this before, my apologies.  
 
Hope this helps.
