Re: What do you use as your patch librarian? (Windows XP 32bit)

2011-02-15 by steve_the_composer

Pewrhaps you could use editing software? 

There are two no-cost ones that I am aware of: Proteum and Prodatum. Proteum has been around a bit longer. Prodatum has a nifty user interface, but I have had problems with it crashing and you must be sure to save your current setup, because Prodatum does something weird at boot up time. (I seem to recall it loads a specific multisetup thereby wiping out your setup at powerdown. I explored this a year or two ago and was disappointed. I am not sure this problem was ever fixed.

A number of people seem to have found Proteum more reliable.

Another option would be a software sequencer that saves sysex banks. 

I hope this helps.
