Korg Poly800/EX800 Users

So it's patch names and locations, like an instrument definition. It does
sound like something that has probably been done before, so it doesn't hurt
to ask. I guess we don't have a lot of Cubase users here. I've been using
Cakewalk all my life, it seems.

I apologise for my laziness...thought maybe someone had done the work for
me...SORRRY!

Gordon is correct. A Cubase script file or a Cakewalk/Sonar instrument
definition file just provides a text list and locations of the patches
loaded into the instrument at that time. You can select which patch you want
to use and Cubase will send a program change. These scripts are invaluable
for the more complex synths such as a Proteus 2000 where you may have
several thousand sounds to choose from in many different banks. In the stock
Poly-800 there will only be 64 locations to choose from. Also if anything
but the factory patches are used you would have to rewrite the script to
reflect the current patch names and locations.

things the Poly-800 can send and receive are Note On/Off, Joystick changes,
Program number, and Sequencer Start/Stop. There is no way to get patch data
from Cubase to an unmodified Poly-800. If you have a Poly-800 II, then
programs like Cubase can send a SysEx bulk dump of the patches to the
Poly-800 II memory. This requires a standard SysEx format patch data file,
not some type of script specific to Cubase. If you have the Hawk 800 kit
installed (available for all models of Poly-800 and EX-800), then you can
send/receive bulk dumps as well as single patch dumps, and a ton of other
new features.
