E4XT midi A and midi B sample dump.

Hey guys im having a bit of trouble sending samples via midi using the MIDI B slots. I can send them fine into the MIDI A slots but using MIDI B it just wont start the dump. Is there any reason why MIDI B behaves differently? Iv tried different midi settings in the master menu but no luck as yet.

I could really do with getting this set up right as i have my pc wired into MIDI A and via SCSI cable for using the Zeos software ect. But i dont use my pc that much now only when i have to as i have turned to mac so if i need to send a sample quick i can do it via midi from the mac without having to turn my pc on and swap my display cables over.

The same goes for the pc connection it doesn't work when plugged into MIDI B so its a pain as i have to swap cables over.

any help would be great

cheers Jamie

midi b is midi channels 17-32 , maybe it doesnt work on those channels. thats just a guess

Only Midi A can transfer Data and the Clock ! Otherwise you get trouble of doubling output.
Bug.
