The USB MIDI protocol has three sysex bytes per packet, so it seems the first packet gets dropped for some reason.

A workaround would be to reload the USB drivers(s), too. > This does not depend on sysexxer, but also appears when I do a > cat /dev/midi > sysexfile.syx Using ALSA, this would be "amidi -p portname -r sysexfile.syx".
