About SysEx Transfers:
When performing large SysEx
transfers from Windows to
the Photon, you may need to
increase the buffer size on
your Windows software to
ensure a correct transfer.
Selecting a buffer size equal
to or larger than the SysEx
file virtually assures that the
transfer will occur without
errors.
