Sysex patch banks and Cirklon?

Sysex patch banks and Cirklon?

2011-09-01 by John

I've loads of Sysex patch banks on my computer which i send via a Sysex dump program to my various synths when working with my DAW.
Is it possible to do the same with Cirklon, and have all the sysex banks stored in memory (and upon power down) , call up the sysex bank list and to send a selected sysex patch bank to any synth connected to Cirklon?

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!

There isn't any sysex handling of that sort.
Sysex dumps eat memory rapidly, so if I do add this sort of thing, it would
be reading and writing .SYX files to the SD-card or internal flash, rather
than main memory.
That wouldn't make any practical difference to the user - SD-card is much
faster than MIDI.
There is already code for reading and writing Cirklon's own data in .SYX
format, so suppose it should be pretty easy to add a MIDI librarian thing at
some point.

Colin

That would really be cool Colin !!! One of my synths is a TX802 (DX7 patch files) , and you know how many Sysex patch banks there are for that !!!!
