Patches: *.ASB = *.SYX !!!
2000-11-03 by frederic@hardouin.net
Hey VFXers ! Since this 'VFX patch quest' seems to be the hot topic of the month, I thought I would share this small experience : The site of AudionautManager (www.audionaut.com) has bunch of sounds and some for the VFX in particular (extension of those files are *.ASB). Didn't have time to compare but I believe that all those sounds can be downloaded from Fabio's (great) site in normal SysEx format (http://neopatch.hypermart.net/). BUT IF NOT, you can easily convert an *.ASB file to a pure VFX *.SYX file by removing the first 142 bytes. For specialists, the starting sequence is F0 0F 05... If I have some time, I'll create a small batch file that converts automatically those *.ASB files, compare them with Fabio's stock and let you know if there is some new (and interesting) stuff there. Fred PS: Since my MIDI interface is dead, I think I will send you the parameters on an Excel sheet with this 'DigitalNativeDance' sound of mine !
