PSA: Goldbaby Bluewave on Sale
« on: January 04, 2023, 03:29:05 AM »
Public Service Announcement:

Just noticed an end of year Goldbaby sale - it includes the Bluewave PX pack.

I’ve never seen this on sale before. 

Been on my list for a couple of years now.

If you don't own it already, it's absolutely 100% worth owning.  It is by far my favorite commercial offering for the Prophet X.

Is there a list of available Prophet X packs available anywhere does anyone know?

I can only find a very few and they all seem to be either synths or pianos!

Can it be installed in any User Sample Space and User Bank ? Can't find the info on the site.

The Goldbaby Bluewave set ships with 128 presets that, by default, get placed in U4. The sample folder is u07/ which gets placed on the PX in User8 group.

There is a renumbering utility found here:

After experimenting with the provided script, I just realized I planned ahead and put my Replicants stuff in an alternate UserGroup and Preset bank. Shaw was pretty good about providing multiple *.syx files for one to choose where they wanted to put things. Early in development, Shaw and Goldbaby had a collision in PU4 and User8 Group.

Does anyone know of a way I could store the Bluewave patches in A4 instead of U4?

It looks like each patch is 4690 bytes. The bank number is the fifth byte of each patch. U4 is bank 3.

Or maybe all it takes is putting them in a folder structure /px/p01/ and then installing them as an add-on...

I might make a backup of my U04 bank and then give this a try.
