Elektron Musical Instruments

Hi all,

I just got my machinedrum a few weeks ago, and i really need your 
help on the sysex-dump matter.
i've been reading a lot about the problems with it, but to be frankly 
i don't understand.

I have midi-ox version 6.5.0.340 and i'm using it on my windows XP 
with digidesign soundcard.
I want to dump some songs, but i can't make it work.

Can someone step by step explain what i have to do.
(yes, i have the midi's connected right, en in slot 1 i'm in sysex -
send, i selected song and pattern and i pressed enter)
I also got the error code 1 when i tried to recieve a sysex file to 
the MD.


A while back i really received a sysex file in my MD without a prob, 
but i had a different mid-ox version and i was on win ME at that time.

Please help.

I would suggest using dumpster if you can find it.  I got it from the 
files in the korg ms2000 group.  i haven't had serious problems with 
it... yet.

Ok, thanx.  But it didn't help.
really, i can't figure out what i'm doing wrong, but it still doesn't 
work.
I configured everything the way it is supposed to be, but i get 
errors. Why?

Bumpsters looks like a more easy to use program, so thanx anyway. i'm 
sure i get it to work some day.
Please help me in finding out what i do wrong.

Nothing happenms when i press start and enter on my elektron when i 
want to dump to the pc.
On dumping from pc i get an error.

Please help,

marcel

ok! I got the saving to pc working now. Think 1 midicable had a bad 
day   :(
But now to transfer that file back to MD i get errors. Midicable is 
fine, i double checked.
It says;  
vbmidioutunprepairheader;an invalid parameter was sent to a system 
function.
I press ok, it says;
VbMidiOutLongMsg;

Anyone?

I will get this to work   grr..................

Bye, Marcel

1. You got both midi in and out connected?  You should. 

2. You also have to set up the MD to recieve as recieving then the 
program runs after that.  3. Recheck your system and your midi set 
up.  You might want to reinstall the midi hardware.  4. Or just keep 
sending it untill it recieves fully.  Sometimes it seems like 
starting a gasoline engine.  

5. Don't give up.

Hi.
Ofcourse i have the cables connected in the right way :)
2. i also do that.

I will try again. and again. Midi works good. Protools sends midi out 
from my PC to my MPC like a madman, so i wouldn't know why this 
wouldn't work. I seem to do everything right

I will try again.

Thanx for helping out.
No point in saving this stuff if i can't bring it back to the MD  :)

Marcel
