Hi,

First, there is no Send All sysex command in M-1000 MIDI spec. The 27K file is a set of 100 (ie. 1 bank) individual Single Patch Data sysex commands: single patch = 275 bytes transmitted. You have to set the active bank first, the following sysex commands assume this bank. It's not a problem of M-1000, MIDI specification simply is limited to patch numbers 0..127 only, if a device allows more, it has to use banks.

Pls see the correct sysex docs (there are numerous errors in the printed manual) here:

http://www.wolzow.com/analog/m1k-midi-spec.htm

BTW, there's a note: " A gap of at least ten msec should be allowed between patches when sending
multiple patches to the M-1000."

Hi,
The manual says the Matrix-1000 doesn't need to be in any special mode to receive a patch dump,... it should switch banks automatically

Anyway, I dumped patches 200-299 from my Matrix and the sysex file was @27KB, the same size as the original RAM file in the files section here. I take it then that 100-199 is missing from that file

Cheers
