Issue sending sysex to A4

I’m having problems sending SYSEX files to my A4. I setup C6 with a file, I set the A4 to receive and it displays

Waiting…

So I hit send on C6 and it says so many bytes sent. On the A4 it is still displaying Waiting… and nothing seems to happen. If I hit No, the bank was never loaded.

What am I doing wrong?

I can send SYSEX files from the A4, one by one for each kit.

OK, I was sending a sound to a bank in +Drive - that won’t work. If I send a sound to a slot in the sound pool, then it works.

Hi I am having the same problem. I was sending new sounds to my A4 directly to the +Drive, which should work by the way.

The first two sets of sounds were send correctly to Banks I and J and are now functional. Then I tried to send the new Synchrotron.syx pack to Bank K on my A4 and nothing happened. I did not change any setting in the mean time.
C6 shows a connection with the A4 and shows it is sending files.

I have the feeling it is a C6 problem. I restarted both A4 and MacBook a couple of times and even reinstalled C6. Nothing so far.

I did not try sending it to the sound pool yet because I want the sound on the +Drive.

Are you on the latest OS version?
Cause everytime a new soundset comes out, a few people seem to have problems, and that’s often the solution…

Hey guys,

I just had the same problem. A4 was in Receive mode and nothing happened. (A4 connected to computer via USB cable and clicked on “send”) I found out, that as soon as I unplugged my keyboard from my computer, it worked. Don’t know why the A4 does not receive while the keyboard is still connected but unplugging solves the problem.

Hope I could help

Hi guys,

Thanks for your responses. I am running in OS 1.12B and I had no keyboard connected.

I will try updating to OS 1.12E because it seems to have midi/usb bug fixes.

Thanks Zymos for pointing this out!

Update to the latest OS solved the problem!
