I'm unsure. This is the file I need to transfer:

http://www.jomox.de/upload/updates/X999_OS138.MID

Is not a sysex file, best I can tell. The instruction for their
windows program at:

http://www.jomox.de/upload/tools/SysExdumper.pdf

says:

"It recognizes the Jomox device and kind of dump (OS/presets) after
loading the *.mid file. You just select the midi out port
and put the device into reception mode and start the bulk dump on the utility."

I got this file too:

http://www.jomox.de/upload/updates/ATTENTION_OSUpdate.pdf

Which says:

"After the dump is complete, the machine copies the new OS into flash
memory in order to have a
save copy of the user presets and the OS. This takes about another 30 seconds.
The XBASE 999/888 will boot itself and come back with the new version
number shown as MAIN OS
X.xx. The BIOS remains on 1.0x since this is firmware inside."

I can put the jomox in the mode that its ready for the transfer.

However, SimpleSysexxer is giving me this error, shown with my jack
connections:

Not sure how this is supposed to work, any ideas?
