ok just tried with the 600ms on both , then one then the other one and makes no difference.
still not working the only one that works is the global dump so far.
i also tried running the Universal Device Inquiry.syx but i'm not getting an input response right after as Shaman shown on his page.

BTW, here are some links I saved while I was looking for a solution.
Some of them are not in English but we have Google translate.

I remember that someone there was lucky reupload .syx file but don't remember where.

Here they are. Might help

Happens I was doing it wrong.

In order to do the Universal Device Inquiry just load the .sysex off Midi-Ox's folder in program files and then set sysex to send/receive then you'll get this:



The global Dump ends in F7 , i tried adding F7 to the end of the other dumps since they seem to end in 00.
In the end of the process the EM-1 gives out Error Er.1 - Data Could Not Be Written.
Note : my global protection is OFF.

nope still nothing.
after this painstaking real slow midi sysex transfer still nothing.
nothing registers on the EM-1 except for global settings.
i tried all different speeds and still nothing.
The EM-1 is receiving everything as it should the LED shows you the loop but at the end it just stops and it doesn't register anything in it's goddamn internal memory not performing the bloody write function.
argh

and this is out of the manual what a bloody joke!
When the EM-1 receives a data dump, it will take up to
ten seconds to write the data into memory (the Write
key will light). Never turn off the power of the EM-1 during this time.

not happening.

tried Bome Send SX.
The EM-1 dumps stuff at actual midi speed around 3000bytes or kb or so.
Different software same s**t.
Problem persists.

Tried uploading at same speed. Doesn't work.

In Midi-Ox both buffers are at 128/32 , i thought this could've been the problem by having one at 256 and the other at 128.
Well , it's not.

I really wanna get this working.

And to be honest I don't think this is a fault with my Electribe.
I have a friend that also owns an EM-1 and I bet same s**t would happen.

Anyways fingers crossed fellas at midi-ox can help me out with this.

So far we nailed this down to the input buffers.
The output buffers are not the cause.

I'm running output buffers @
128x32
buffer delays are both standards 60ms
and this dump from the German forum worked.

https://forum.korg.de/index.php?t=msg&th=8729&goto=36346&S=99fc90a440270583bfed2022a60be2fa#msg_36346

The problem regarding this is because the input buffers probably need a certain exact number.
I've tried countless different combos and no results.

My EM-1 keeps outputting .sysex of 128000 or 122880 bytes and these dumps have to end in 129031bytes so they are completed and end up in F7 and not in 00 like mine are.

So maybe the guys @ midi-ox can resolve this input buffer problem unless it's my midi interface or my EM-1 which I seriously doubt it is.

[Travelinni]

ok good news :
the pattern bank had to be ''hacked'' or patched.
we got lucky we had the dump Korg made in the German forum else we wouldn't be able to do it.

i don't know if there's a flaw with my EM-1 or not but it's proven now for a fact that adjusting buffers in midi-ox don't do f*ck all.

so , for this to work and if you want to save your patterns (unfortunately we can't find a way to save song mode because we would require another proper sysex dump from korg unless i ask them they might give it who knows).

My dumps are all dumped to midi-ox but they are not completing.

so , grab yourself an Hex Editor:
https://mh-nexus.de/en/hxd/r ,

dump your patterns and then i will post the rest when i'm done.

all the info's available @ http://www.midiox.com/cgi-bin/yabb/YaBB.pl?board=query;action=display;num=1558334569;start=20#36

if you need the Pattern_64.bin just gimme a shout which contains the rest of the incomplete code that my EM-1 is missing in my dumps.

If you own an EM-1 and you share the same problem let me know.

My EM-1 is in extremely and great condition and I don't believe there's a problem with it , unless there's a problem with the Korg firmware on this one too but I couldn't care less.

Having a friend bringing his EM-1 this coming week so I will be testing his out.

If his is successful there's a problem with my EM-1.

And if it is I'll make a song dump from his , I'll give it to you Midi-Ox and see if Sonus (thanks a million mate ur awesome) can throw us a fix on it.

If my friend's Electribe M will have the same problem as mine does , then there's nothing wrong with my EM-1 and I'll phoning Korg and see if they can send me a song dump in whatever way they actually managed to do a proper dump.

Hey, I've decided to check how is going here?

Regarding 00 end of your sysex file:
I had the same s**t with my ESX Dumps.so they all didn't have F7 at the end.

Later I've found the information about F7 ending, and somehow I did it.
I could get a proper dump by using MIDI OX
I didn't use any HEX editors or anything like that

But that was a couple of months ago...
I remember that I was just messing around with MIDI OX settings and it worked somehow.

Now, again I can't get the proper ESX dump
They all end with 00
