Can you store patches to the computer without the editor?

Post by paugui »

So, I got a power supply for my Creamware Pro 12 and have been enjoying using it again!

However, there is one thing that is bothering me...
I don't have an old computer with me (which is really annoying as I haven't tried to bring my Creamware Noah EX I got early this year back to live because of that...) and therefore I can't use the editor...

I am ok with not accessing all the extra parameters I could with the editor, but would at least like to send the patches that are in my machine to the computer so I could erase them and create my own.

Reading the manual, I couldn't really understand if the synth can actually dump all the patches using sysex...
Is it possible?


Thanks in advance, and best regards to you all! :D

I did some midi and usb-midi monitoring on my Prodyssey ASB.

patches 00-7f (0-127)
Patches got 2 parts: 1 and 2
bank# is 1 for Factory and 0 for User

Request patch with sys-ex message in this format:
<f0 00 12 34 01 part patch bank F7>
f0: sysex begin
00 12 34: Creamwares hacked extended manufacturer id. Not registered. Could also be for Prodyssey only.
01: ? might mean Prodyssey.

so for Factory patch 0 request both parts 1 and 2
f0 00 12 34 01 01 00 01 f7
f0 00 12 34 01 02 00 01 f7

for User patch 0 request both parts like this:
f0 00 12 34 01 01 00 00 f7
f0 00 12 34 01 02 00 00 f7

Read firmware version number and more
f0 00 12 34 01 00 00 00 f7
