Editing / Updating Several Patches @ Once?

[Blackbelt Jones]

^^^ I tried the demo of Virus Command but it does not support the TI; however, it should be able to load just MID files. While it has no support for updating the soft knobs, it does appear to impart category class changes in a batch format.... however, the demo may have the MID file import locked. I am in contact with the developer now to see if this is possible and will report back when I have a better idea.

If I thought there was a valid market for it I might embark on writing one myself -- but piracy these days has sucked the profitability out of small utility software like this so I focus on contracts with the big wigs ..... honestly these days some folks will balk at the prospect of paying $20 for a piece of software that will save them hundreds of hours, so for it to be worth my time there has to be a market there. I'd like to see Access show confidence in their own product by getting TI working properly and updating with a reasonable feature set before I start writing software for it and expecting to get paid if you get my drift

This is where I have to weigh deploying my workarounds (section locks + hopefully Virus Command) versus taking a deeper dive in a "McGuyver" sysex workaround. Unfortunately I am not as clever as McGuyver, so will probably just suck it up and plow through it as I at least know the time will be spent getting me where I need to go.

And you are spot on... it never ceases to amaze me that people "cheap out" on things that will actually save them time. What is $20, $30 or $50 when buying an application can dramatically improve your workflow? It's nuts - time is precious and I am always happy to pay for a product that will save it exponentially in the long run.

It is unfortunate people are so quick to steal in the digital domain. To a certain set there is no concept that real people put real time in to these products, and if they want to see them expand and grow, they need to pay in to the system. But, such is the state of things these days, and I wouldn't blame you one second for staying out of that pool.

If I actually figure out a way to do this, I will update this thread as I can't believe I am the only person who thought "damn, it would be nice to change the soft knob settings on these 30 patches without having to update them one-at-a-time".

Cheers,
