The minicommand I have was the first one you sent to Australia. It seems to have real issues receiving new Patches from the patch manager.
I have to try 10 times in a row before a patch will send. The previous owner Orwell seemed to have similar issues. Usually it gives the MIDI timeout error, I just keep pushing send until it works. I'm using a high end tascam audio midi interface which never has issues.
Not the biggest problem in the world as I rarely need to update patches but I feel its worth reporting if there is some fix?
