Re: Sysex patch banks and Cirklon?

2011-09-01 by j5r9pn3lka

Yesss!
I was thinking exactly to make a post about that, in the spirit of "eliminate all computers when possible", while I was stupidly and unsuccesfully trying to sysex-dump some seqs I've had made using the internal seq of the futureretro777, to the Cirklon.
And the same about other samplers/seqs/things I'm planning to attach to it.

Instead of using a pc for saving/recalling sysexes from/to synths/seqs, lets use the Cirklon, already attached to them!
