Sysex And Alesis' Soundbridge -- Crashes, can't send SYS. file to QSR sound module Options

[Bonitap]

Is there a sysex app. which will work in MOTU's FreeMIDI (not OMS) to send extra SYSEX Alesis Q Card programs via the editor/librarian Unisyn on my PowerBook G3 to the Alesis QSR module? If it makes a difference, the MIDI interface is hooked up via the Keyspan USB/serial adatper which works great otherwise.

The apps. which Alesis includes -- Soundbridge and Freeloader -- cause freezes, crashes, and worse. I just tried the MIDIEx profile from Mark of the Unicorn's website, but no go.

Thanks,

Unless I'm badly misunderstanding what you're trying to do, Unisyn *is* a sysex app--which supports the QSR according to this page:

I'm having trouble understanding why you'd want to complicate your life *even more* by putting yet another MIDI app in the line-up.

Maybe you could say specifically what you're trying to do.

Have you looked into Patchlist Manager? (I once actually deciphered it enough to create Digital Performer patchlists for the ancient and unsupported K1000 SE Extended, but it was sort of like carving "War and Peace" on stone tablets.)

On a separate but related issue, FreeMIDI can emulate OMS. It's something you can check in FreeMIDI preferences if you have programs that only work with OMS.
