I used to have a similar problem with my X5 and an USB MIDI sport 4x4 =
MIDI interface. I have a few questions:

Are you able to receive all of your patches from the X5 (so that they =
show up OK in the editor)?

Have you tried sending or receiving sysex banks? Does it work?=20

I was able to sort out my problem by connecting my X5 to the MIDI I/O of =
my Terratec EWs88 MT card. For some reason I was unable to dump anything =
from the X5 to the editor (I received some kind of data error I think). =
Also, the X5 refused to load any patches greater than a certain number. =
Thus it didn't replace some of the factory sounds. However, if I opend =
one of the un-replaced patches in the editor Window (that is, it was =
copied to the temporary patch buffer) it loaded OK. Loading data in =
sysex format failed as well. So I was unable to load whole banks and =
unable to receive anything.

By the way, I have a PC running Windows 98SE. The MIDI errors might have =
something to do with the fact that both programs, the sysex dumper and =
the X5/05 sound editor, are actually Windows 3.1 programs. Windows 9x =
has only one virtual machine for these programs. I think the programs =
may not have liked the USB MIDI interface as they are originally for =
Windows 3.1.=20
