Hi, am I finally in the process of transfering sounds from my DX7IID. Unfortunatley, this is where the screen ends for me with web MIDI (see attached screenshot).
The insctructions say to select the sounds I want to convert. But nothing can be selected. So now what?

Did you initiate the bulk dump from the DX7II?
How is your DX connected to your computer?

well, it was much easier to just get that bank with another software and then convert it. the converter works fine - the web midi I´m not so sure

the DX7II was connected to my soundcard with midi in and out cables. in the instructions it says you only need to do a manual bulk dump on the DX7 but not on the DX7II. as we see on the screenshot, the voice data was "received" by web MIDI. there was also a message on the synth "completed". But that´s where the story ended.
I stopped bothering with it and resolved the issue by transferring the sysex with a dx7 librarian and converting these files. which worked. now my old DX7II is sold and gone. So, I won´t need web MIDI anymore. Maybe others have better luck with it.
