thats what it was about, to get close to a special sound i know from another 
instrument, i didnt thought that its gonna sound exactly equal.

whats happend to the soundfile [patch] exchange, i didnt found nothing 
around here, either on other synth pages with file exchange. are xx7 users 
unwilling to share their sound programing?

people,
i would like to spread some of my sounds to know what the people think about 
them, and this way maybe learn some more, from other programers with 
different styles and experiences?

somebody interested?

>>>Well you could certainly still go for it.  The biggest problem I see, 
is that waveform pictures you see in Hydra are only of a single duty cycle 
of the waveform.  Any image you get from the XX-7's will be much, much 
more complex and larger.  Might be possible still, but I still think 
you'll spend a ton of time on it and not get close, might betterto use 
that time just making up new XX-7 patches :) <<<

thanx a lot,
that will be nice, i have the mp7 rom and the tscy installed,
and some presets uses instruments from both roms, others not...
if you see a change to be able to open them let me know if youd prefer the 
smf dump as single presets or if youd like the hole bank as one user bank 
dump.

thinking of that i have another question
is it posible to put a smf dump of a preset into another than the original 
locacion?

Changing Preset Destination via sysex editing

This might be relatively easy to do (using debug) if you have Windows 
or even MS-DOS if you had a dump of a single preset in syx format.  
All you would need to do is change two bytes in the preset dump 
header.  These are the 8th and 9th bytes of the dump.

If the preset is embedded in a smf (or a .mid file), it is be more 
complex.
