Hi,
I have a freshly serviced Roland D-10 I'm looking to load patches onto. I'm a guitar player so synths and patches are a whole new world to me. I have tried using SysEx Librarian and Patch Base. I get the same two errors each time of "Midi communication error" or "Data Mismatch". I'm not seeing much info on this for the D-10. I tried lowering the transmit speed. I'm using a cheap $20 amazon cable for midi in and out to USB. Should I be using .syx, midi, or .bank files to load patches? I've tried all three. Should I be in performance or timbral mode when loading patches? Nothing seems to work. Please help!!!
Also if someone could point me to some 80's string, synth, pad, gothy, new wave sounding patches that would be great.
Thanks!!

Re: Trouble sending patches to Roland D-10
The cheap cable is the problem. It's actually a MIDI interface. It does not have enough memory to handle SysEx. Buy a branded one instead such as Roland or Alesis. They put more memory in those.

Yes a new cable did the trick. Thank you!
