Is there any way for you to do a list edit to chech for recorded sys-ex data? You may have recorded it but not known.
Please give info on your sequencer etc.
I use multi setup dump with arrangment dump all the time. You can reload in any multi and no need to keep orig singles.

Hi grs thanks for replying to my post. I am using akai mpc2000xl which is a hardware sequencer. I checked the midi input monitor and it is definitely blinking. I looked in the edit events screen ( which I presume is the same as list edit) and this is what it says-
Time:001.01.00-225.01.00
Notes:0 (c.-2)-127(G. 8) when I turn the data wheel this goes all the way to 127(G. 8)-127(G. 8)
Then I went to step screen and it says-
View: exclusive But i had to turn the data wheel to select exclusive. Then I could not see anything there so I pressed insert to see what would happen and I inserted a 2 byte exclusive data. Then in same screen appearedb-
>exclusive:F0F7

The process in which I did the dump was like so-I created some space before my song and selected track 17 which is apparently the track your meant to use for sysex data according to manual. I then selected midi channel 1. Press record and play then store on virus. The virus screen said dumping edit buffer 1-16, then dumping done. I presume this is all correct. Anyway hope this all helps to enlighten you about what I may be doing wrong. Thanks once again.
