Hello friend, you are under Windows10? Do you know why when I try to connect the dx with the soft the dx says :err4? It's strange because with other soft I can send patch, but with xgworks under Windows10 doesn't works for me, on Mac works perfectly under wine. Thanks in advance
Hello, thanks for the question, I have some suggestions: I'm under Windows 8 32-bit. I'm not sure XGWorks works under 64-bit. Err4 is "This appears when checksum of the received System Exclusive data is incorrect." That doesn't help much but it makes me think the midi data (actually SYSEX data) is getting corrupted between Windows 10 and the DX. Maybe it's transmittitng too quickly. It could be a problem with the driver for your midi controller/hub (are you using a USB-midi hub? I've heard they can cause problems). If possible, try a different midi-hub? When do you get the error? Is it all the time, or just when you dump the patches? If it happens during transmit-bulk-dump try setting the Bulk Dump Interval to something higher, like 1 second or even higher? Also, in the Setup of XGWorks there are some other tabs beside the Device tab. There's a tab called System Exclusive that you could check to see if there's a way to slow down the SYSEX/MIDI transmission rate. (I haven't checked that tab myself but if I get a chance later I'll let you know). One more thing, make sure you don't have any other midi software open when you have XGworks open, just in case the other software is also sending data to the DX.. Hope you get it working.
One more thought - depending on your midi interface there may be some options in the driver software for your interface that you could adjust to prevent the checksum error. Check the manual for your midi interface, or let me know what interface you have and I'll see if I can troubleshoot some more. Cheers.
I checked my settings in XGWorks: Under Setup-System Setup-System Exclusive tab my Reception Buffer Size is 8192, my Transmission Buffer Size is 512, and my Transmission Interval is 2000 - see if those settings help?
@@CorduroyCam thanks a lot for your fast reply friend, much appreciate it . I think that maybe trying on another midi box (I have 2) works because as you said is an error of data transmission... The thing is if I use Dexed and send a patch to the dx like I do with xgworks works perfect with the same midi... So I think is something of incompatibility with W10 or something like that. Don't know what
