sysex dump

sysex dump

2005-03-14 by bluecontrabass

So like everybody else, my poly800mkII has lost its memory.  Does 
anybody know how to perform a sysex dump instead of a tape dump to 
get the original sounds back onto it?

High, in my opinion it`s "mission: impossible", a tape record or wav 
file is the only way to put it in...

Yeah... it's not a "mission impossible."  I've done it with my own 
Poly 800 mk II.  The first thing that you need to find is a sysex 
file for the poly 800 mk ii.  there's a couple floating around on the 
internet somewhere.  I have them, but I can't remember where I got 
them from.  Then you need to find a program that will transmit the 
information from the file, via midi, to the poly 800.  as long as you 
have the midi channel (parameter 87), match the channel your program 
will use, it should work no problem.  I normally don't know much 
about doing this kind of advanced midi stuff, but I found it pretty 
easy.  I was surprised how easily it worked.

If you need the .syx files or a loading program, I have them both and 
could send them to your email or gmail or msn, or whatever.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
