OB-8 version B5 w/Factory Midi

2006-12-24 by hugglett

Greetings. New member today.  I was hoping to find resources for my OB-
8.  I use both SoundQuest and Midi-OX for a variety of keyboards, and 
have fortunately saved my OB-8's patches (sysx) before an unsuccessful 
cassette upload attempt wiped all the patches out of the instrument.  
I'm currently re-programming patches by hand.

Problem is I can't get the saved sysx patches back into the 
instrument.  Supposedly, version B5 allows one patch at a time sysx 
transfer.  I've searched the web for any mention of factory midi 
operation for the OB-8.  All I've found to date are manuals for the 
Encore Electronics midi upgrade kit, which is not what I have.

Does anyone have any documentation regarding OB-8 factory midi?  Or if 
anyone is an OB-8 owner and would mind a couple of communications 
regarding midi patch transfer, I would be most grateful.

Oh yeah, Merry Christmas!

Mike
