sysex dumps under osx

sysex dumps under osx

2004-10-11 by offlinedevice

has anyone experienced error type 1 (length) problems when dumping "all" from MD?  I'm 
using sysex librarian.  If I keep the length of the total dump small enough, I don't have the 
problem.  For example, if I dump pattern+kit A,B and C - no errors.  If I try and dump "all" 
I'll get at least one type 1 error.  I don't have the problem if I use midiox under XP, using 
the same midi interface - midiman 8x8/s.  Thanks.

Regards,

Joe

That sounds like a bug in SysEx Librarian. You should email Kurt (the author of SysEx 
Librarian) at this address:

SysExLibrarian AT snoize.com

He's a really nice guy, and I'm sure he'll fix the problem ASAP.

Hi Andrew,

Thanks for replying.  Yes, I did contact Kurt a while back (yes, 
great guy) and he took a look at the sysex records with the length 
problems (actually the entire dump), and did due diligence, 
concluding that he could not find a bug in his program.  He suspected 
either an OSX problem or a midiman driver problem.  I'm tending 
toward an OSX problem, because I also have seen the same problem with 
a MOTU midi interface.  Midiman had been looking into this, but, 
after they assured me they would see this through, I'm getting no 
response from them.  So, at this point, I don't know where to go 
next.  I was hoping maybe someone had gotten further with this than I 
could.

Any other thoughts are welcome.  Thanks.

Regards,

Joe
