v4 has got sysex, though there is no way as yet to convert a v3 dump to load
in v4.
You may well want to wait for that before trying it out.
Dave is working on a new version of P3 Tools to do this. (Go Da-ave, go
Da-ave...)

I have uploaded the most recent build to
http://www.sequentix.com/v4beta.htm

This beta has an altered sysex format from the previous v4 builds, so sysex
dumps from b16 and earlier will NOT load.
But the contents of memory will be preserved during an upgrade, apart from
any user FTS scales.
The reason for the change in sysex format is that user defined FTS scales
are now held at the bank level.
If you transferred a bank between P3s before this, any user scales used
would have to be manually copied between them, unless you also transferred
all the configuration settings. Even then, there may have been conflicts
between different banks using the same scale numbers.
So now you get eight user-defined scales, unique to each bank.

This build also adds bar copy and swap functions, that are designed to let
you juggle the bars of a pattern around in much the same way as you might
play with the order of patterns in a playlist.
