Patch Storage on Computer?

Patch Storage on Computer?

2007-02-04 by justino30

I just got a K3 from an online classified ad, then I purchased the M-
Audio Uno USB to Midi interface so i could store my patches on my 
computer, so i hooked it up from my synth to my computer. I downloaded 
and installed the Atari ST Emulator so I could control my synth and 
save patches with it, but for some reason whenever i go into the K3 
Editor and change a parameter it doesnt show up on the synth and 
nothing changes, nor do any patches get sent over when i click the get 
all button on the editor. Can someone give me some kind of step by step 
on how to send my patches to my computer and edit them wit hthe editor 
please!

thanks

Can you use the K3 to control the computer MIDI/audio card?
(When you play the K3, do you get sound from your computer?).
If you can't do this, then your MIDI interface is not working
correctly.  If you can do this, then it would be a setup problem
with the software you're using.

(I love my K3s by the way...bought mine new in 1986, and used
mine everyday on the road - working musician across the country -
for 15 years. In '89 I started using a stripped-down PC onstage 
to control all the MIDI stuff - keys, effects, lighting, etc.
The K3 is still in great shape, and is extremely useful for
creating analog synth sounds on the fly, adjusting parameters
while playing and staying in tune - something the '70's analog
units had a problem with. And you can emulate pretty closely the
patches from other units, Rolands, etc. I have a lot of keyboards, 
and I don't think of any one of them as being the "best", because 
each unit fills a specific need, but the K3 has served me very 
well for years. I still use it.)

Well, my K3 seems to be able to send patches and recieve them on the 
program: SoundLib, that i found on this website. I think the problem 
is in the way i set up the synth's midi stuff possibly, or maybe a 
problem in the way i set-up the midi controls on the K3 Editor, u 
think u cud give me like a step- by step?
thanks
