I've seen MIDI-OX mess up handling of sysex dumps - from my Behringer DeepM=
ind 6.=C2=A0 Bome's SendSX worked perfectly.

I seem to have read somewhere that Windows MIDI drivers expand "running st=
atus" - so that software receives entire self contained MIDI messages inste=
ad of a status message followed by a stream of values for it.=C2=A0 If it w=
as receiving a sysex dump but didn't see the header, for example, it could =
then mangle the data considerably, thinking some of it was running status m=
essages, and adding the extra status bytes.

I've had success using JSynthLib with my TX7, so I'd try that, to see if i=
t can receive a dump from your DX7:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/jsynthlib/

but first try Bome's Send SX because it's simpler, with much less of a lea=
rning curve:

Maybe just connect the DX7 direct to the PC via your no name USB-MIDI cabl=
e?=C2=A0 I'm not familiar with the MOTU but it sounds complicated enough to=
 be part of the problem.
