Hello Everyone, I have a problem with IDES 3. First thinking it was I was using Windows 10 but even with an older laptop now with XP installed on it the issues with loading files bigger then 70 kB still are there. Things I can load are User Voices, DSP setting and Drawbar organs. When I want to load a User Voice with Wave the software starts but then after a few seconds it freezes up and the LED on the keyboard is not lighting up anymore. With Styles uploading the LED lights up shortly and then turns of and the Error MIDI TIme Out appears on the screen. I'm using not a crappy MIDI cable, I use the E-MU 1x1 TAB and that seems to work fine because can play MIDI files thru the keyboard and it's able to work with Cubase and mutiple channels. In the IDES 3 manual specifications it says that it needs a PC with 1,0 or 1,1 USB ports. Should that be the problem?, cause the ports on my laptop are 2,0 and 1,5 USB. It seems that the software is to slow for the laptop, the only thing I can try is to install a USB 1,0 driver for the secondary USB ports that are not beeing installed by Windows XP. But maybe I'm looking way to complicated? Maybe some one knows the answer?

First the observed phenomena: When I tried all the sounds I came across sax and flute ... which sounded quite disappointing (far away). However I knew from some online material that there is a better reed sound for the PX-560 ... but how? Then, one day I had it: The sax suddenly sounded great ... immediately had to play the Pink Panther with it ... phantastic. Next day the great sound was gone ... and no way to fix it. What happened? Meanwhile I know how to fix the broken reed sounds: 1. Select the sound in Upper 1 (only there it works) 2. Edit -> Effect -> DSP -> select "Early Reflection" Attached an example of sax as it plays per default and with the enhancement above (difference may be hard to hear on the PC - use headphones - big difference on the PX-560). Being happy that this problem is solved still some questions where the experts may be able to explain: 1. Why does Early Reflection change so much? The effect description has not much to do with the effect on the sound ... 2. This is a MUCH better sound for all reed instruments - how can I make this the default? 3. Changing Early Reflection in the Effects -> Reverb does not achieve the same results ... why not? 4. What if the reed instrument cannot go in Upper 1 (e.g. playing in split mode one may need brass in Lower 1 ...)? 5. Is there a way to get this resolved by using Hex Layers? (side comment: flute 2 seems not to use the DSP according to the manual appendix ... still it requires the trick above) SAX_STD.WAV SAX_EARF.WAV

Have tried to active auto harmonize precisely as described in the manual ... however whichever key or chord I play there is nothing changing. Arpeggiator is not activated ... but it should work independent of that. Any idea what to do?
