Organising patches into Custom Banks

[oddbods finger]

I've never used Sounddiver.

Can you extract patches from banks and organise them into your own 'personal' custom banks with it?

If so, is Soundiver the best program for this?

Are there any freeware librarian-type programs that can do this?

BTW, I have a Virus B

Cheers

Well, to answer my own query, I found a freeware program called Borgstation.
A freeware synth librarian that works for all Viruses.

It does exactly what I wanted.
It can drag and drop patches from existing Bank files (.mid) to create your own custom Bank which can then be saved and/or loaded into your Virus.

If anyones interested -

Use SoundDiver. Its specially made for that aswell as remotely editing patches.

:D

It costs though, and this program appears to do all I want...for nothing.
Besides, I'm not really bothered with PC editing of patches....that's what the knobs are for :wink:
Cheers anyway

Sounddiver doesn't work properly, it can't even locate my virus.

Thank you, lovely! Hope this will work better than Sounddiver.

Having now given it a 'roadtest' it seems to work pretty well for me.
The only thing I can't get it to do is load banks and Patches directly from my Virus B.
Not sure why.
As I have all these already saved on my PC as .mid files though this isn't really too much of a problem.

Okay, I'll let you know if I succeed to upload patches from my virus C. =)

SOUNDDIVVVVERRRR. :D


When it starts pres ESC to stop it from checking the midi ports. Then goto into options and into the interface menu and deselect check midi ports on startup. Then goto the install window and add the virus model you have manually, dont let it search for it. Goto the setup window, double click the virus and the device window will appear. On the left select the midi port your virus is connected then try to request a patch.

Why dont you use sounddiver? It comes free with the the virus :?


:D

[oddbods finger]

[TommyS]

Nice gesture Tommy, but not really very cool - Access Sounddiver isn't yours to distribute as you see fit! For those who buy secondhand Viruses that don't come with SD, you can purchase a copy for not much moola. Check the Access site for details.

I wasnt trying to be cool. I dont make it regular basis to transfer software to people that dont have an end user agreement. :wink:
