Hello, I have seen there is already a MIDI SysEx manager in the Presets & Soundfonts Library for sending .sys files. But receive and save sysex is not feasible at the moment right?
For a DAWless setup it would be a great thing to have the zynthian as a Librarian device that:
- receive sysex patches with and giving them a name before saving
- send sysex patches back to the HW synth
- has OPT page explicit for that function on the device
- is a midi sysex file storage device
- optional: usually I do not change my HW synths midi-channel often, so an alias of the midi-channel e.g. 14=microkorg could be the file name save suggestion: “microkorg_name.syx” or if no alias: ch14_name.syx
advantage:
- no need for having a weird looking windows librarian software to control any HW synthesizer
- no PC needed
drawback:
- know how to control the HW synth to send/receive sysex (RTFM
) - a direct midi connection between to the controlled device (probably without midi merge/split)
Setup boundary condition:
- Zynthian + HW synth need a direct connection with midi in+out or,
- the setup consists of a configurable midi preset device such as: iConnectivity mioX… or Conductive Labs MRCC …
What do you think? Do I miss something?
