Re: loading patches via sysex - Heeellllppppp!

2019-02-04 by geri77@...

I've been checking out the patches on this group, as a contribution I uploaded the patches that I found on my Matrix 12 in the files area.

Regarding importing and exporting patches I first had problems, and it looks like I'm not the only one, so here some additional infos on the import / export procedure:
  • Exporting / Importing all patches using SysEx Librarian works fine
  • After looking at all the patches around I would like to have the 100 favorite patches in my Matrix 12, so I made a favorites folder on my Mac and copied all the single patches here.
  • Next step: import these patches, which first does not work
  • Trying to export one patch with SysEx Librarian --> "Record One" myself and import it back: does not work.
  • Using SysEx Librarian you have to select "Record Many" when exporting a patch. You'll get 2 messages instead of one. If you play these messages, it works.
  • Now you'd like to import this patch to some specific number:
    • you'll have to define this number while exporting: SEND --> DESTINATION PATCH
    • This is going to be the patch number when importing.
What I learned:
  • some patch-banks of other users contain single patches, but I'm not able to import them, as they contain only 1 message instead of the required 2 messages
  • procedure to create your favorite patch-collection:
    • import full patch-banks
    • then export favorite patches and define the future patch-number during export by setting DESTINATION PATCH.
    • In SysEx Librarian always "Record Many" to import the patches, so you'll get the 2 messages that are needed.
    • When you are happy with your collection, import all the prepared single patches
