Re: [Evolver] thanks SoundTower / documentation / sysex

Oh so sorry!
Use the OS update to load any .syx file. It is set to work for program banks and for update files. The program parses the header for the desired action and works accordingly.
If you want the banks file (which is the bank set of programs/patches with each individual headers stripped and only one main header and footer for the set. It is compressed as well I believe) just load it with the OS update under File menu and it should get you were you want to be.
I believe it will take the file, send it to Evo and then you poll or load all banks from SE and Bob's you uncle.
I hope this answers your question now.

Derek,
I am trying to import ".syx" files. The most common file type
available for users banks / extra evolver banks.
I believe there is no issue here regarding the other file types.
The documentation covers those, but not sysex types.
