1. I am using the DJX with Cakewalk currently. The aim is to download the patterns to the sequencer, but I am unable to determine how to do this reliably. I can get the data down, but on playback, I rarely have the right instruments playing back. Is the only solution to this an INIT sysex dump at the beginning of the song? If so, it will have to be tweaked to not stuff up my other tracks.

2. I read from the manual that portamento control (control change 86 from memory ?) is a received value but not transmitted. I have fiddled with setting this control change number in the sequencer before/after/during musical phrases with no effect on the synth. Has anyone been able to work with portamento with any success on the DJX?

Thanks
Simon
