Loading 1 bank
2004-09-20 by Stoffel
Hi there, i wrote a little programm, that allows kind of editing the P3 sysex files, as they are stored by midiox. Therefore I called it P3_OX. With this programm you cannot make sysex dumps, you still need midiox for that, but you can load the sysex files and then deal with them. It has two slots, like in ws_ftp, and you can load a whole sysex dump in one slot, and the copy patterns, playlists, tracks and banks to the other (free) slot, and the save this slot. To load just one bank to the P3, load the sysex file in the left slot, copy just one bank to any bank in the right slot, and then save the right slot. Now you have a sysex file with just the patterns and playlist of this one bank, in the place where you have put it. If you upload it via sysex dump, you can load single banks into the P3. Well, I hope this is clear, I'm not a native speaker, so if anyone understands what the prog does and can explain it in a better way, please go ahead. One thing I'd like to mention, before you use this prog: I'm an enthusiastic P3 user, but I'm not a professional Programmer. I wrote this program quick and dirty. On my Windows 2000 it is running quite well and does what it is supposed to do. I did not test it on any other systems, so please don't blame me, if it does something weird (also this should not happen). If you discover any bugs, etc. or have any comments on it, please e-mail to: stoffel@undderganzerest.de But I cannot say when I will get back to programming, so please be patient. The source code is also available at the yahoo files, so if anyone wants to use it, please do so. Ok, I hope this helps, and runs, and I'm not getting in some kind of developing hell with this. Best wishes, Stoffel
