write bank to rev2 (how do i select which bank to write to?)

[tonnith]

I am trying to manage my preset and bank a bit better and i run in to a few challenges.
I can save a bank (or all banks) to my computer with sysex editor. I can also write a bank to my rev2 from my computer.
But somehow i can't see an option select the bank on the rev2 where i want to write the bank from my computer to. It seems to write to the first bank by default.

How do i select the bank on the rev2 to write to?

The Rev2 makes this a bit harder than necessary, because the only message it has is the "program data dump", which transports a single patch and has the bank and the program place hard coded into it. So if you transfer a bank, you have in fact 128 program data dump messages (if I recall correctly, it is a while ago I wrote the librarian for the Rev2), which need to be modifed.

So I would recommend to use a software that supports this, there is for example the free Laser Mammoth website that will do this for you: https://f0f7.net/fe/#/SysexLibrarian

Alternatively, feel free to have a look at my Sysex librarian even if does not do bank reorganization yet, but rather nice patch organization with the help of the computer: https://github.com/christofmuc/KnobKraft-orm

Also, commercial software can help you achive this I guess.

I already noticed that github page, really nice to see open source initiatives for that!
I'll try it out, at least i know that its not a default capability in the rev2 to achieve bank selection for patch loading
thanks
