Thanks for the reply...I guess the problem is using MIDIYoke under Vista, I had to use an XP computer to upload the patches/use the editor also. I was able to use MIOS Studio with VISTA to upload the firmware I guess because it doesn't require MIDIYoke. Anyone have any idea why MIDIYoke wouldn't work with VISTA? Or an alternative to MIDIYoke? regards, claiborne

One question for you are you using 64 bit Vista? I had a similar problem to yours that is still unresolved...I tried to use miditrix and midi yoke with no luck, I am fairly certain I have them set up correctly because I was able to upload the patches using them under WIN XP but no luck so far with VISTA 64. If anyone has found a solution let me know. Thanks to all! regards, claiborne

Thanks for the replies! I guess the post title should have been "Sammich problems with VISTA 64" I think I have tried all the combinations of connections in the editor, I thought the same thing since MIOS Studio was working the Editor should too, but no luck. I even tried switching the physical MIDI ports on the 2X2. I had no problems setting it up on 2 different XP 32-bit machines so it HAS to be something to do with VISTA. Yes it is the 2X2 anniversary edition and all drivers and firmware are up to date. I will check the thread mentioned above and see if it helps. If not I might have to install XP on my laptop...if anyone else thinks of anything I could try let me know. Thanks again guys, if I do figure it out I'll post the solution here. Regards, Claiborne

I am having trouble getting my Sammich to connect with MidiBox SID V2 editor using Vista 64 SP2. I used the regular midiyoke and miditrix setup as outlined in the user manual. I had NO problems using Midibox V2 Editor to edit/upload patches with XP SP 3 but with Vista I get a "MBSID V2 is not responding check all connections error" I know my computer is communcating with the Sammich because I can play it using a USB controller,and MIOS studio works both UP/DOWN. I'm using a MIDISPORT 2x2 if it matters. Anyone have any suggestions on what to try. Thanks! -claiborne

Thanks to everyone who put their time and efforts into this project! (TK,nILS,Wilba,and anyone I might be forgetting) I finally finished my sammichSID. Painting was the only hard part. I have a tip for everyone...if you get acrylic paint outside the engravings and onto the plastic you can use Pine Sol on a rag to wipe it off without disturbing the paint in the letters. You can rub pretty hard with the rag and not disturb the paint. I found this was the best way to get the lettering looking sharp. Keep in mind I only tried this with acrylic paint. Good luck! Here is a picture...I will put more in the gallery. -claiborne

are there any sets of panels left? if not are you going to do another run? regards, claiborne
