Title: loading prophet 8 patches into Rev 2 ?
Post by: Johnny fingers 01 on November 26, 2018, 12:07:19 PM

Hello I just got a Rev 2 and wanted to load prophet 8 patches into it, Is this possible? I downloaded the Prophet 8
patches from DSI, I then used sound tower to try to load them, But I get a message that it says it's not Rev 2 ?
I thought I read that they are compatible ? anyone that could help me please? Thanks.

Update: I figured it out, you can load prophet 08 sounds using Sound Tower. It transfers to Rev 2 just fine. Sorry I just got this Synth.

You can load them using a MIDI software and without a 3rd party editor e.g. MIDI-OX

Can you tell me how exactly you did this with the SoundTower?  That is what I can't figure out.

EDIT:  Got it figured out...

Please share your solution (or do you want to keep it for yourself? :P)

In the SoundTower standalone editor, there is a Prophet08 to REV2 converter. You can find it under the "File" menu. Alternatively, you could use a free solution such as the ones already suggested or the (in)famous Laser Mammoth https://f0f7.net/fe/#/SysexLibrarian (https://f0f7.net/fe/#/SysexLibrarian) which works just as well for transmitting '08 patches to the REV2.
