Midiox works on windows 7 64 but I have never tried this particular feature in midiox.

I've used Midiox to handle sysex in Win7 64bit without problems. At least, I can dump from and to my Machinedrum and SR16 at any rate.

I've never really used Sonar's sysex sending capability, largely because I found Midiox does what I need without having to get my head round how Sonar handles sysex. And because I'm lazy.

A thought - if sysex it being sent (in effect played) from a sequencer the tempo the sequencer's running at can make a big difference to whether the data is received correctly or not. Generally speaking, slower tempos seem to make for better communication. Slowing the tempo to 60 or even 40bpm might make an improvement. Or even speeding up the tempo.......

Maybe it would help if you were to provide the information already requested i.e. FULL system specs.

CPU / RAM / Hard drives, Interface, the lot

to use sysx to do dumps ANY computer would do - it does not even use a sound card!

He's not trying to play audio or midi, but rather using Sonar as a "Data Filer" to transmit MIDI System Exclusive data to the external midi gear. And I'm pretty sure Sonar has this feature. Is it working, I don't know.


MidiOx is a free program that is a very good data filer. Not sure if it is still supported after XP. But you should check it out if you can't get Sonar to work for you.

thanks very much - midiox is not yet win7/64

thanks everybody - it seems sysx dumps are not common.
hopefully cakewalk will reply soon

I use MIDIOX on Windows 7 /64-bit on a regular basis.
No issues...

3 people use midiox on 64bit win 7 with no problem.  Why don't you try?  If it also doesn't work then perhaps the issue is not sonar or midiox? 

I have MIDI Ox on Wion 7 x64 and it works fine - just tested it with sysex dump.

generally I use SONAR for any sysex activity. And have been ever since I can remember as it started life as a MIDI sequencer.

Any sysex data is stored in a project along with any other info and is sent at the beginning of a project when play is pressed to setup the keyboard or other MIDI device. this function can be suppressed or activated  in Preferences.

reinstalling sonar X! got it to work - sort of.
thanks all
will try midi-ox
