Connect it to a computer via MIDI, and transmit the .syx files on the RhodesChroma.com web site into it. Any old USB to MIDI converter will work. On Windows, I used a simple utility called MIDI-OX to do the transmission. -- Ciao, Paul D. DeRocco Paul mailto:pderocco@...

Hi Paul, I went through the steps to download factory sounds with MIDI-OX with no success. What else do I need to implement with the synth to accept sounds? I have the midi connected from my interface out to Chroma in. Is that correct? Thank Matt ________________________________

I think you have to set the Basic Channel to 1, via LF, MIDI CHANNEL, and then turn 1 on and 2-6 off. And you may have to turn on the Main MIDI In switch, using LF, INTERFACE, 7. I don't believe it's necessary to turn on the MIDI Panel Switch using LF, CASSETTE, 8. -- Ciao, Paul D. DeRocco Paul mailto:pderocco@...

Yes the manual says to use MIDI In when sending information to the synth. ________________________________
