Sysex dumps

[Dopamine]

Is there a way to load a bank of patches into a synth (MS2000) via sysex?

I just downloaded some patches but don't know how to get them into PT to do the dump.

Any advice is appreciated.

I'd like to know the same...
Furhtermore, I recently bought my MS2000 used, how can I tell which OS is running? Is there a way to display it in the LCD? Also, if i need the latest OS, how do I get it in the synth once I download it?

thanks for any help!

<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">You have to import it in PT as an midifile. In the edit screen on the midi track choose "view sysex" you should see now a sysexbox on the track.

Prepair your synth for receiving a sysex dump, look in the manual for this.

Now press play in PT and the sysex are transmitted to the synth.

For saving your synth patches: prepair your synth for a transmition sysex. Enable recording the MIDI track in PT. Press the rec button in PT and do the the transmition from the synth.

Tip 1: Look at the synth manufactor site for a free Edit/library utility or do a search on internet. If your download isn't a midifile you can probably open it thru such utility. SoundDiver from e-magic is a great editing/Library program for almost any device on the market but is expensive.

Tip 2: If you put a sysex dump of all your patches you use in a song on different midi tracks before the start of the song it set your device up for the right sounds, e.g. the sysex are in measure 1 and 2 while the song starts at measure 3.

Hope this helps,
