Problem Reloading Factory Patches D-20

Post by Classicdog » Tue Nov 12, 2019 12:59 am

I have been trying for sometime to load the Roland D-20 (this old classic still works great except for this issue)
factory patches into my Roland D-20. When I do I get 'A55 Split C4 Initial Patch'. Any ideas for this problem?
(I'm sure my lack of knowledge may be an issue in solving this)

Loading from floppy or MIDI?
I listened to Hatfield and the North at Rainbow. They were very wonderful and they made my heart a prisoner.

I had issues loading patches via sysex to old synths this might help you. Firstly make sure the memory protect is OFF! Secondly the transmission speed on some old keyboards needs to be slowed down. On MIDIOx there's an option to change the low level buffer size, default values can be too high. Reduce the buffer sizes, this slows down the transmission speed.
