more on posting patches

2003-06-15 by spaceanimals

Gosh this wonderful world of computers and MIDI is fun. Bruce was 
kind enough to post a link to WinZip. I downloaded it 3 times because 
I couldn't find it. I looked under search, but Windows XP has this 
stupid little animated dog that runs around, never finds anything,and 
no way to search chronological. 3rd time, somehow, I figured how to 
save it to the desktop, but I couldn't open it. Then I figured out 
you can right click the files and there's a send command to send the 
files to the Zip program. So I zipped all the files and sent them to 
the list.Jon tried them and they were all messed up.So much for 
uploading.

   So I tried downloading patches this morning before work. Took a 
couple times because I couldn't find them. I unzipped them. If I can 
unzip, doesn't that mean I can zip? So all the patches start at #1, 
so do I rename them or what? I want to load all new patches into the 
machine. So I figured out you can cut and paste. By this time, I'm 
about ten minutes late for work but I've got 128 patches ready to 
load. I hit select all, then send. Ta Da. Nothing happened.

Hmmm.I'm working a twelve hour shift today. When I get home I will 
try once more to zip the files, upload them, then download them, 
unzip them and see if they work. If I can get the zip to work. And if 
I can find things after I download them. And if I can figure out how 
to load the sounds after I download them and unzip them. I'm afraid 
Jon is turning gray pulling his hair out already so I don't wish to 
try his patience much further.
