You know you can translate a v3 dump to v4 using P3 Tools 2 ?

The simplified v4 auxes will mean that every bar in a pattern will be
written with the same aux config when it is edited.
The aux changes will slightly affect v4 dumps, in that if you have 'auto'
assigments of auxes in saved patterns, you will need to edit them and save
them for the aux config in the first bar to be written to all the other
bars.
The sysex format itself will be unchanged, and will still allow different
bars in a pattern to have different aux configs, for example, if that's how
they have been converted from a v3 dump where a playlist has been converted
to a multi-bar pattern.
