Backing up data doesn't work properly.

Backing up data doesn't work properly.

2002-04-30 by buzzard2uk

Hi,

I have a major problem backing up patterns/kits/songs, it's 
simply not reliable, about 90% of the time the MD fails to reload 
the kits etc. properly, it seems to work better when it is a very 
simple pattern or kit (like the kit used all the same type of MD 
synth, TRX for eg.).

I'm trying to back up to a Roland hardware sequencer, the 
MC-80.

Is this a known problem?, I must admit i'm very disappointed 
with this as i have all the kits and patterns full and when i back 
them up, the MD just fails to reload them properly.

As i said before, it works about 10% of the time so i know i'm 
backing up correctly. The Roland sequencer that i'm using works 
perfectly when backing up sys ex from other synths, the Waldorf 
Q and Kurzwiel K2000 for example, so i don't think its the Roland 
MC-80 that's at fault here.

Just wondering if anybody else has experienced this.

My OS is 1.11.
