Vintage Synth Repair

Thanks BaM,
sounds like a fine idea
I know this is off topic, but can you tell me what software  I would be using to dump all the midi data (my patches)  into the computer?  Cakewalk or something, etc.? I mean I assume I cant just open a folder on windows and send all the data into it.  I'm just starting to learn this stuff now - better late than never.
Thanks,
Ed ________________________________________________________________________

I don't know, but why not just do it the easy way and
transfer all your patches to your computer via MIDI
first just to be on the safe side?

Oh, sorry - go to this page; it's an invaluable
resource for any Six-Trak (and several other SCI
synths) users and includes a link to a librarian
program.  I believe the "SixPat" program is what I
use.
