K5synth

just an update...

i had no success sending or receiving sysex data from k5m! 
so far i tried to store my patches. and i tried to load sysex banks
into it. the result is that i lost half of my patches, now. they are
named like this "******" - and they contain no data and strange
values, but no sound. all i did was trying to transfer sysex data via
midiox and soundquest. midiox is just the best tool for sysex dumps in
my opinion - and it works without any problems with my other synth.
so i guess it has to be something with my k5. i am quite sure i
enabled all system exclusive things and set the right midi settings.
I am really getting frustrated. Does anyone have any idea? I am on
OS1.0 - is there any bug?

thanks
phono
