*** Special thanks to "ComposerJK" on the Sequential forum for creating a command line utility for redirecting banks of presets.
The
px-preset-sample-renumber tool has been updated to support Prophet X/XL OS v2.1.1 beta that includes 24 additional user sample groups, U1 to U32. This tool allows one to renumber the sample groups in a Prophet X/XL SysEx Program Data dump
.syx file. There are macOS and Windows binaries. Let me know if you might want to use this on a different system, e.g., some version of Unix, and I'll see about adding a build for it.
In this alpha 0.3 version, I also added support for specifying Add-on and Factory sample group numbers. So, now, one can specify
U8,
8,
A23, or
F for the
-f and
-t arguments. A number without a letter prefix indicates a user sample group, i.e.,
8 and
U8 are equivalent.
Using the example of Deckard's Dream presets stored in
UserBank4-SampleU8.syx (presets in U4, samples in sample group U8), to create a
.syx with the presets referencing the samples in group U32, one would run the following command from a Terminal/shell/command window:
:; ./px-preset-sample-renumber -f U8 -t U32 -o UserBank4-SampleU32.syx UserBank4-SampleU8.syx
[
The :; is just a Terminal/shell prompt. ]
Hope this makes sense and helps some folk. Let me know if you have any questions.
