Title: ESI-32 MIDI Sample Dump Problem OS 3.02
Post by: Olaf_Oldschool on September 13, 2017, 07:43:00 AM
Hi Guys,

I'm using an old ESI-32 which I've purchased a couple of weeks ago.
It came with OS 2.1 and everything was working fine including support for GOTEC USB-FLoppy Emulator and SCSI-IDE Adpter with attached IDE DOM of 8GB.

Unfortunately I don't have SCSI in any of my computers and don't want to buy an adapter to transfer Samples to my ESI.
I've tried MIDI Sample Dump to do this and it's working fine with OS 2.1.
It's slow but working, that's ok for my needs.

Now I've purchased some Eproms with OS 3.02 and replaced the old ones.
Os 3.02 is shown in the display of the sampler.
Unfortunately now MIDI Sample Dump is not longer working.
It interrupts shortly after the start and only a few packets are sent.

Anyboday knows about this problem?
And maybe knows how it can be fixed?

As far as I know the release note regarding the OS 3.02 says "..the MIDI sample dump problem fixed..".
Is this the problem they were talking about?
But why it isn't working?

I'm using the MOTU MIDI lite.
I've tried the MIDI I/O of my Lexicon Omega, too.
Both did not work with MSD on 3.02.

Still have a Midisport 2x2 but havn't tried it yet (just forgotten and switched back to 2.10 in the meantime).

I'm using Sample Wrench for Sample Dump SDS16 and tried Elektron C6, too.
Both work with 2.10 and won't work with 3.02.

Best regards,

Olaf

p.s.: answers in English and German are most welcome ;-)

Problem solved.
Sample Wrench won't work with OS 3.02
Electron c6 is still able to MSD.
Lost some comfort but Minimum requirements are met.
