I reset my M1 using int/combi/card on power up. All my programs now read INIT PROG.

I downloaded a program called MIDIOX and also the complete factory sysex file for the M1.

I send this file to my M1 and here's what happens:

The first two programs on the M1 work. The rest of the patches are still INIT PROG.

Sure hope someone has some advice...thanks in advance.

Gee it's been a long while since I had an M1 but think you had to go into global mode and set it to receive a bulk dump. I'm not 100% sure about this but I think that you have to put the M1 into receive mode for bulk dump before sending from MIDIOX.
