The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Hello pals,

I haven't got any experience with this so I wonder if anyone could 
help me:

My PLG150AN card is housed in the Kenton Plugstation so I cannot store 
my user bank voices the way you can do it with Yamaha hosts (ie. on a 
SmartMedia card). Of course I can do that using a software editor, but 
that's not very practical for live use.

I wonder if I could save the user bank voices using a sysex dump, into 
a HW sysex dump recorder such as the Boss BL-1 Bulk Librarian. How do 
I do that? How do I send the PLG150AN a message to dump the contents 
of the user bank?

I will appreciate any advice you might have.

Thanks,
Trixie

Trixie,

AN1xEdit has an Export command which allows you to save your library of sounds as 
either a MIDI File .mid or a MIDIEx File .syx. In PLG150AN Mode you can easily 
manage your PLG150AN sound banks in AN1xEdit, use the Export command with the 
MIDIEx option to create a .syx file, then load/store the file into your Boss BL1. I'm not 
familiar with the BL-1 Bulk Librarian so I'm making an assumption that it can load a 
.syx file from disk. You should then be able to load/recall your PLG150AN settings 
from the Boss to the PlugStation.
