how to save presets in A banks ?
« on: February 20, 2024, 10:07:39 AM »
Dear community,

This is a bit of a shot into the dark and I am not sure where to find this information

I have 2 prophet X keyboards, and recently bought the second one.

I somehow have managed to install the Moon One presets in preset Bank A3 (i.e not U3 or F3) a few years back, probably by accident and now when I am installing these patches on my second prophet x then i cannot for the life of me figure out what i did a few years back when i did manage to install patches in the A banks, - does anybody have a clue how to install patches in A bank ?

ps. one Prophet X will stay in the studio, the other one for gigging

At least i know it is possible cause one of my keyboards has the moog one presets in bank A3, hopefully this makes sense to somebody that can help :)

I think that Shaw’s Moog One package includes instructions for installing it anywhere you want it to be. If you have lost the instructions I believe that Shaw is still sharing his Moog One sound set on dropbox. A quick search of the forum will take you to the link.

the instructions have nothing about adding the presets in A banks :)

just to be clear there are User banks, Factory banks and then banks marked A for Add on, and i have somehow in the past managed probably by accident to install them in A banks and i am trying to figure out how to do it again hehe

If anyone has a clue it would be really appreciated

SoundTower software allows to write the A banks.

Be aware that the PX version of Soundtower can communicate only on channels 2 and ALL due, presumably, to a bug in the PX firmware. I found this out the hard way.

It is indeed a bug in the PX

I report this about two years ago. This was acknowledged by Sequential as a bug, and something for them to look into, but there was no guarantee on time frame, and I have never had a response. I will give them a chase.

My ticket number is 71979.

Quite interesting. Unexpected mining features but support proper use. Useful theme to make good use of prophet X keyboards

Since you've verified this behavior persists in both firmware versions 1.1.1 and 1.1.2, it's possible that it's either an oversight in the firmware coding or a feature where certain parameters don't reset fully to ensure some form of continuity in performance settings. This isn't unusual in synths where manufacturers sometimes prioritize avoiding abrupt jumps in sound when tweaking patches live.

Has nothing at all to do with the op’s post. Methinks a bot is on the loose!

Spent hours making tunes on Cold as Frost - perfect for both beginners and music enthusiasts.
If you enjoy rhythm games, you'll love Spruted - it's perfect for creating unique musical compositions.
Found this amazing music mixing game called Sprunki Sonic - perfect for both beginners and experienced composers.

Pretty non-sequiter. Kinda what you’d expect from either an AI or a two-year old.

I’ve been becoming really suspicious of posts by low-post-count folks recently. Several of them have th same goofy, not-on-topic comments.

If you haven't already fixed this, you can use MIDIOX (or any sysex editor), open the sysex file, use the command to search/replace all
F0 01 30 02 02 (if original Bank is User U3)
Replace all with
F0 01 30 02 0A (if loading into Bank Add-on A3)

Save the sysex file then send this to the Prophet X.

If you want, I can easily do the edits for you.

Send your files to Walter.Sencza@gmail.com and I can spin them around within a few minutes, just let me know for sure where you want the Programs (presets) to end up  A1, A2, A3 or A4

Thanks for sharing. I could easily add that option to my px.factory librarian
