saving with the machinedrum
2002-10-14 by Nicolas Sottiaux
hello, I try to find a solution for saving my MD preset and song with sonar. I send the sysex information in sonar which record it with no problem. But when i try to send back the information in the MD (i use the verify fonction) MD tell me that there are a lot of errors and that only a few messages are corrects. What is the problem ? What can i tried ? If i send the new os in the md will my information, presets and songs be lost ?
