Hi Michal, Damned, I feel bad about what happened to your synth. I needed a solution, googled that thread and replied to my own message. It looked promising. Were you able to reset your synth? A google search for "Roland GR-50 sysex dump" produced: http://www.hotkey.net.au/~citymusic/specs/RolandInits.txt with the following entry is: GR-50(D): Power on holding down WRITE, EXT & VALUE UP.(Sysex Midi file which restores factory sounds is available) For the immediate, I'll probably use the Mac application MidiGraphy for SysEx dumps with my DM-24 mixing consol. ron --- Michal Seta <mis@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > I just tried this on a Roland GR-50.
