JSynthlib and SID

Hi everyone,

I am working on my SID and am having a bit of trouble with JSynthlib.  I am using the snapshot version posted here in light of the discussion here about SID compatibility.

http://www.ucapps.de/jsynthlib.html

I set up the MIDI preferences as indicated and include the SID driver.  I then start a New Library and select Import.  I browse to the C:\Program Files\MIOSStudio\midibox_sid_v2_0_rc20\presets folder and attempt to import that patch .syx file.  However, nothing happens.  If I try Import All (after removing the readme), it says "Can't import <filename+path>. Load a proper synth driver."  Hmm - it already has this ... ???

I have tried selecting various combinations of the Import All dialog boxes (e.g., put patch name in Field 1, Field 2) to no avail.  Tried it on a Win XP machine and a Vista machine - no dice.  Checked version of Java to ensure compatability.  Tried using some of the various other builds of Jsynthlib.  Tried TK's suggestion about MIDI Yoke - nope.

What does (kind of) work is that I can load the .syx file into Midi OX.  I can then dump it to the SID (no bankstick by the way) using a very long delay between patches (like 4000 msec).  I then can audition the patch (for four seconds!) and then it will move on.  I can also yank out the midi cable when I get a patch I want. But of course this is not quite the best approach.  It really seems like it's a JSynthlib issue.  Is it something like the situation with Unix linefeeds where some programs can handle them (Midi OX) and others can't (JSynthlib)?  That's the only parallel I was able to come up with.  It seems like JSynthLib just does not know what to do with my copy of v2_vintage_bank.syx.  Maybe someone has a patchlib version that I could use?

Thanks gang.
