SU10 - System Exclusive

[PaulF707]

Hi
Sorry for the 'non Roland' question, but I see a few guys on here have SU10s...

Has anyone succesfully managed to get the System Exclusive dump / receive working to anything other than a Yamahs MDF2?

I've been trying to get it to work with my laptop (I've tried 2 laptops, 2 different midi adaptors, at least 3 different software packages), and all the various settings on the SU10.

Every time, I get a 'Wrong Data!' error on the SU10 towards the end of the first block of data being dumped back in.

I'm watching some MDF2s on ebay to see if I can get one cheap, but I bought the SU10 because it was small (and adding an MDF2 will double the size!)

If anyone has got this working to a sequencer (or sysex app) then I'd be grateful to hear from you.

Cheers,
Paul

I've never attempted to sample dump via MIDI. Seems like an odd problem.

i got an su10 too, never tried this. is that difficult really?

You should try using midi ox or bome's sysex and messing with the send delay settings(the speed that data is transmitted).I remember that I spend an hour to upgrade the OS of an alesis micron I had..!So don't give up!

Thanks

yes I've been trying all the various settings with MidiOX - but unfortunately the only setting I can find that works is a delay of just over 5 seconds after every F7 (data packet) - which means that although I can restore a data dump to the SU10, it takes hours to complete!!

I think I've accepted that I'm going to have to look for a more 'professional' sampler for my requirements....

Thanks for the suggestions...
