I have no access to a PC or a classic capable Mac, and after toying for hours with Virtualbox, have not been able to get eLoader to work. All I want to do is back up my songs and patterns because my command station has been acting quirky lately. I only use the CS to sequence, and don't have any reason to backup presets.

Any help with this would oh so greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Susan Subtract

I think there is, but I would have to check the sysex manual. I believe e-loader uses sysex commands to request the sequences. If I am right, you would have to have software (such as a sequencer) to request each sequence and then capture the sysex data the CS sends.  Its been years since I looked at the sysex dump format for seqeuences. Too bad you can't use e-loader; that would be much quicker.

If you are looking for a front panel menu item to dump all sequences, I don't ever recall seeing that. 

BTW, if its not in the sysex manual, but its an undocumented command, someone might be able to decode a dump.

Hope this helps.
