USB sysex issues

[Darryl]

I have a problem with the sysex buffer in that when I try and get bulk dumps back from old hardware synths it drops bytes. I can slow down the flow of midi bytes from soundquest to my hardware rack fine but I can't control how fast the TX81Z chucks back its data. It's 2500 ish bytes for a patch dump. How are people dealing with this? Being able to read in patch data is kind of a deal breaker.

Hello, we've got an updated firmware with completely reworked SysEx buffering, but we've not had time to thoroughly test it so we haven't shared it yet. If anyone wants to give it a try, I'll make a post with the firmware. I'm sure it won't hurt anything, we've been using it day to day for a while now. Look for my next post in this thread.

I'll warn though, that if you are doing a big SysEx dump, you probably will have to stop clock and any other MIDI traffic to prevent issues. Especially if you are merging inputs to the output of the device receiving the SysEx. 

All the best,
Darryl
