problems importing / exporting patch dumps into Patch Manager P6 format

problems importing / exporting patch dumps into Patch Manager P6 format

2005-06-21 by hoggybogger

I have eight or so different patch dumps in WAV format that i'm trying
to load into the Patch Manager program. I can load them just fine as
WAV files out of my computer and into the Polysix itself, but I can't
get them into the Patch Manager program and out of the Patch Manager
program into the Polsix.

The reason I want to do this is to combine a few of my favorite
patches from different dumps and make a whoopass master bank of em,
using the Patch Manager program. But when I load the WAV files into
the program and play them out into the Polysix, it lights up Found
and Loading, then all eight programs light up but the Error light
comes on at the end every time.

One other thing - I used Adobe Audition to try to convert these to
11025/8-bit/mono, I even tried trimming them so that they are exactly
70k like it says in the docs for the program. Any ideas? THANKS IN
ADVANCE!

Hi Rich,

I deleted your mail, because it locked my mailbox (it was to big).
Anyway, I have downloaded the files and I try soon to import.

You'll hear from me...

Regards,

Olaf

You should experiment with the volume of the signal. If you can't get it to
load, then try to attenuate the signal up or down.
In my experience DO NOT downsample the signal to either 11025 or 8-bit. The
patch manager doesn't respond very well to that. Keep it at a high
resolution. That's the only thing that works well.

And BTW, my patch bank was uploaded in P6 format, so you might check that one
out.

Cheers

Hi,

I've tried to upload some of your files from PC soundcard to P6: it
works fine.
Great patches - it's worth doing some work!

I had no time to try the opposite way so far, maybe at the weekend.

Some ideas in-between:

- You want to load the waves in the P6-editor. Did you try to record
directly from your synth instead of the wave file?

- did you try the Hi and Lo switch at the Tape Input?

- did you disable any effekt, dolby surround, filter, on your PC
soundcard?

- did you check if any sound is correctly overwritten with new data,
althought the Cancel Led lights up?

- did you try both:
send from editor to Polysix directly (using the play button)
save as wave file and play this with any mediaplayer

I could force my P6 to show the same behaviour (all 8 LEDs light up, and
also the error LED) by reducing the output volume of the signal on the
PC soundcard

Good luck!

Olaf

Re: problems importing / exporting patch dumps into Patch Manager P6 format

2005-06-24 by hoggybogger

It all works now!!! WOW. Many thanks to Olaf for emailing me some
tips - it was the output/input volume, my levels were too high. I
checked them in Adobe Audition and they looked right in the middle to
acceptable, but lowering it a bit made all the difference.

I combined my favorites from eight or so different banks, I converted
all of them to P6 format and named them - thanks to all of the people
over the years who have shared thier WAV patch dumps.. My bank is
mostly C64 video game style sounds and 80's nostalgic pads and leads
and tons of SFX, spacey sounds, a few basses etc. I think the Polysix
shines in this area personally. Once I get the right mix of them i'll
share my bank, thanks again for all your help.

Oh and also, thanks to the Old Crow for repairing my KLM power board!
Funny thing - the day after putting the board back in and playing
around, my 30 pound cat jumped on the keyboard (it wasn't on a stand,
it was on a chair balancing) and the cat knocked it over, which
dragged the top across a desk bottom breaking THREE of the program
button tops off!! URGHJ!!!

The buttons work fine. Can I just replace the tops? I'm cursed with
this thing, I swear.
