Saving SysEx to M1000 from PC 1600 x controller

Saving SysEx to M1000 from PC 1600 x controller

2011-10-12 by Joar

Hi guys!

I recently bought a Peavey PC1600x controller to edit parameters on my
Oberheim Matrix 1000. I'm using the PC1600x patch described here:
http://www.defectiverecords.com/pc1600/1600x_m6m1000.txt (download
page is http://www.defectiverecords.com/pc1600/pc1600.html). I have a
simple MIDI hookup: MasterKB out -> PC1600 in -> PC 1600 out -> M1000
in. Editing works as expected, but I can't find a way to write changes
to a preset! I expected that to be possible for the first 200 writable
patches, as my software editor had no problem with this and I expected
the PC1600 to be able to replace that one.

Any Ideas?

Hi Joar,

You need to store the edited patch from the M1000 front panel using the copy function. The procedure is detailed on pages 27 and 28 in the manual. This way you can edit any of the 1000 patches and store them in the first 200 locations. Make sure memory protect is off or you won't be able to store the patch.

You could also dump the edited patch to your PC and save it that way using Midi-Ox or another sysex storage program. The manual discusses this on pages 32 to 34. Your software editor is dumping the entire patch to your M1000 to store it. The PC1600x is only changing individual parameters so it doesn't have any way to store the patch.

Hope this helps, Fran
