If the setup is correct, Freeloader recieves the sysex data from the MMT-8:

Freeloader cannot tell when the MMT-8 has finished sending the sysex data, but it can tell that it is not receiving any more data (than the 14832 bytes it has already received). Note that the yellow text "RECEIVING MIDI" has gone:
