Royce, I fully understand your frustration on the driver issue. Thanks for the quick and comprehensive replies guys. I will now get down from my soapbox and try and calm down It never functioned AT ALL and every time a new version of their C compiler came out it was always a disappointment to find the same example of code that never worked. MidiOx started life as a MS example of how to write Midi programs in C (then C++). MS also says that you can't use Midi running status on PCs. and break their sysex into blocks less than 255 bytes. Sadly current manufactures seem to feel they have to comply with MS's redefinition (dumbing down) of the Midi spec. The silver Chinese interfaces are at best troublesome. Roland, Yamaha, M-Audio, Behringer etc all take this introduced limitation on board and you will be safe with these interfaces. It is a well known problem and many manufactures of Midi interfaces have their own correct drivers and some even allow you to use the MS driver, which is OK for a lot of simple things, but fails particularly for vintage things and then the poor uses is baffled. Many older synths have sysex message blocks greater than 255 bytes. This has never (over 30 years) been part of the Midi spec. Microsoft's Class compliant driver is faulty as it limits the size of sysex messages to 255bytes. « Last Edit: Jun 12 th, 2018, 5:20am by Sonus » To verify if a request is received, create a loop by connecting midi thru instead of midi out.Īpparently these poorly designed usb midi cables are missing essential components.Ĭheap USB MIDI cable: some self assembly may be required

Requesting and transmitting data with a class compliant m-audio usb uno is working perfectly. Is this a known bug in the Windows Class Compliant driver or is there a workaround ? I've tried the procedure under both Win10 64bit and Win7 32bit with no difference in the result. Using a generic device, although I can see the dump request is sent to the driver because its Output light flashes, nothing happens at the synth. If I use a Roland device (eg UM1) to send this request the synth responds with the dump and the message 'Completed' appears in the DX7's LCD. For example, sending F0,43,20,09,F7 to a MK2 Yamaha DX7 requests a bulk dump of a voice bank. The problem I have though is using one of these devices to send bulk dump requests to a synth. They handle simple data transfers, ie short MIDI messages, OK and with a bit of playing around with buffer sizes MIDI-OX can handle incoming sysex as well. Many of the cheap MIDI devices sold on E-Bay and Amazon rely on the Windows driver for PC communication with your gear.
