mesak Posted July 25, 2005 Report Posted July 25, 2005 hello,i had a long day trying to get the MIOS uploaded to midibox SID.PIC was pre-burned in joergs midishop and i got the upload request ok when powering up the sid.i was using Steinberg Midex 3 and Midi-OX under Windows 2000. but i didn't get the MIOS running since the SID kept sending the request every 2 seconds, so i was thinking there must be somenthing wrong in the connections. so i made all the troubleshooting for midi in connections and octocoupler with no luck. then i found out that there was something wrong with midex/midi-ox - no midi activity led flashing in midex and midi-ox was chrashing. i made the midi-ox's send/receive test which failed, i still don't know what was wrong.but luckily i also had a MAC nearby so i finally tried to make the upload with that. no problems. midex worked fine and MIOS seemed to go ok to PIC since it stopped sending the request sysex.but then i wasn't able to get any sound out from SID. i was using Jsynthlib but didn't get any signal from the SID... then i had to call it a day. will do more testing tomorrow... i wonder if there's something wrong with the MIOS after all? i hope i didn't mess it up completely.is there a initial patch in SID? if i just can't get Jsynthlib to work, should i get a sound out from SID with just a basic midi keyboard?well, just wanted to write some lines of these experiments. i really wonder why midex didn't work out with windows. i'm using midex8 and winXP a lot for basic sysex dumping for elektron's instruments and it's going ok...cheers!

raphael Posted July 25, 2005 Report Posted July 25, 2005 In addition to MIOS you will need the MBSID application itself:http://www.ucapps.de/mios/midibox_sid_v1_7a.zipHave you ever tried MIOSStudo for upload. Works like a charm (you will need Java 1.5 for this).http://www.avishowtech.com/midibox/wiki/index.php/miosstudioAnd yes, there is a startup sound when you switch on the box. Quote
mesak Posted July 25, 2005 Author Report Posted July 25, 2005 well, eh, ofcourse. how stupid of me... must have been too many hours fighting with the midex... :)thanks! Quote
