Topic: Anybotty know how to sysex dump a TR-626 to MIDI OX?

So I've got my MIDI OX open and my 626 manual out and I can't figure it out! The Manual only tells how to send from one 626 to another, that's not what I am doing manual. Would anyone around here know how to get the conversation going between 626 and MIDI OX? I really don't want to buy another overpriced memory card  sad

Re: Anybotty know how to sysex dump a TR-626 to MIDI OX?

You're overthinking this.

A sysex dump is a sysex dump. It's a one-way procedure where one machine's out is connected to the other's in.

Follow the instructions on page 91 of the manual a pretend that your computer (and midi-ox) is the other 626.

As soon as you initiate the send (set midi mode "Exclusive" & "Transmit" then push Start) then midi-ox will receive the sysex. If you play back the sysex data from midi-ox into the 626 when it's in "Exclusive" "Receive" mode, you'll restore that backup.

Thank you for your reply sneakthief but I must inform you I am not over thinking anything. I have obviously tried these methods/steps (I mentioned I had my manual out in OP thanks) and no data or anything is even transmitted at all. That is where my dilemma is, sorry if I didn't make that clear exactly. The gear wants something other than the listed instructions so I'm obviously underthinking this.

Re: Anybotty know how to sysex dump a TR-626 to MIDI OX?

It definitely should be transmitting something.

1. Do you have "Pass sysex" enabled in the midi-ox "Options" menu?

2. Is your midi cable connected properly? You can check this by seeing if the 626 sends regular midi notes over midi.

3. Do you have the right midi input enabled (highlighted) under "Options -> Midi Devices"?

4. This isn't mentioned, but do you have the 626 set to master clock, and not slave/external sync?

If it's not sending anything, then you have a faulty machine.
