I'm using SD 3.0.5.1. You need to be aware of a problem with the EX5 (& EX5R): (with acknowledgement to ex.factory manual) When you request a dump of a Voice from either the Edit Buffer or from a Memory Location via MIDI, there is a problem when the Voice being requested has an Element active in Element slot four. Voices that do not have Element 4 active (i.e. they can have any of the other Elements active) are fine. The symptoms of this problem are that the end of the SYSEX message is corrupted, which manifests itself as corruption in the Static Control Filter settings for Element 4 and corruption of the Element Insert Effect Switches (all Elements). This failing in the EX5 MIDI implementation can cause your sounds to be different after taking them over to SoundDiver. I'd suggest you visit a very useful website: http://www.ex5tech.com/ and their forums: http://www.ex5tech.com/ex5ubb_cgi/ultimatebb.cgi For a start, they have a HUGE download section of great sounds. The forums are small but active and you can usually get help from guys that really know their stuff. I have an EX5R which I used to edit with SoundDiver but don't use either all that much anymore. Your velocity question will be answered at ex5tech, I'm sure. Regards - Colin
