That is incorrect, at least in version 3.2a for the Evolver Desktop. Documentation about the
Program Name Data Dump and probably the implementation of it was in version 2.0. Look in the 3.2a manual, p.52, for the
Request Program Name Dump table and on p.49 for the
Program Name Data Dump table. You can send the
Program Name Data Dump back to the Evolver Desktop to change the name for that bank/program number.
For example, using sendmidi, you'd request the name for bank 0 program 1 via (EVOLVER is whatever name the MIDI device connected to your Evolver is called):
sendmidi dev EVOLVER syx hex 01 20 01 10 00 01
which should return something like (using receivemidi here):
system-exclusive hex 01 20 01 11 00 01 4E 69 63 65 20 50 61 74 74 65 72 6E 20 20 20 20 dec
That
4E to that final
20 (16 bytes) is the name; in this example, "
Nice Pattern ".
Change those 16 bytes and send it back to the Evolver Desktop to rename that bank/program in the format of the
Program Name Data Dump. Note that the
syx option to
sendmidi sends the
f0 start and
f7 end bytes.
With the Evolver Desktop, you'd need to do one request to obtain the Program Data Dump and another for the Name Data Dump. Hope that makes sense and helps. The manual is on the
Sequential Support page.
