[Jsynthlib-devel] explicitly setting start of sysex in send/store patch (Korg)

[Steven S. <ste...@co...>]

When I try to store a patch back to the synth - the MidiMonitor shows:
XMIT: Control Change
  b0 00 00
XMIT: Control Change
  b0 20 04
XMIT: Program Change
  c0 15
XMIT: Program Change
  c0 15
But never sends a patch.  The debugger showed a value of 112 (0x70) in 
the first Byte, so I explicitly set it to F0 and voila - midi monitor 
does show the patch getting sent.  It still didn't save it on the synth, 
but I'll worry about that later. 

My question - Should I expect to set the start of sysex like that? 

Second question -
Another Korg driver (wavestation single patch driver) sends a write 
request in order to store the patch on the synth - I've tried that 
without any success.  Any advice there?  Joachim said he hadn't seen any 
synths that required it, but as I said - Its not saving the patch - with 
or without the write request.
Here's the MidiMonitor output for the changed storePatch with the write 
request:
