RE: [zoom-g92tt] Re: MIDI SysEx dump (for patch save/restore) "timeoutting"

[Eric Witcher]

Hey Paul, After your note I went into tshooting mode trying to establish a pattern. The outcome was much the same as yours. Not completely consistent but close enough to assume the same. My dissatisfaction is losing the setting(s) just built and having to go back and redo. Good to hear there are similarities though, that helps eliminate the pedal driver (me) as the culprit, ha! If you resolve a constant fix please update us, as I will be sure to. Cheers, Eric

Thx Eric; 'good thought - had gone there early on (and confirmed that
sound card was the pedal). I did get the SysEx to go finally; and it
seems an ideosyncracy:

Out of ideas, I just toggled the MIDI online button OFF, then back ON
<hoping for some form of re-initiation between the two pieces of
hardware>, and it worked!

Oddly, it seems to require this little two-step before each dump, but
if done in advance, the SysEx transfer does complete successfully.
I'm more inclined to blame my ten dollar MIDI interface instead of the
three hundred dollar pedal...!

Paul
