I have recently got hold of a D5 synth (Roland) and have started to use it
for serious composing.
It worked fine when connected to a Sequencer system at the recording
studio; but as of late I have had problems using it with my Amiga500.

I've tried both Dr T's sequencing package and also MusicX. The problem is
that I am getting no output through the Audio channels of the synth.
Recording is no problem. Note on/off etc are all there on the display; the
sequence is displayed graphically and all the notes correspond. So the
MIDI out is working fine. But alas I get no MIDI in...or something is
not right! Midi recieve/transmit are correctly configured; and the multi
timbral mode is setup correctly.
It might be somethingto do with the MIDI Exclusive Unit number...but I'm
not sure. At present it is set to 17(17).
I have also tried the same setup except using a DX-11 synth. Everything
works fine.

If anyone can help with this problem it would be appreciated. There are
at present three D5 owners including myself who are experiencing this
same problem.
