Advice on backing up all my presets needed

Advice on backing up all my presets needed

2015-02-12 by electrow2000@...


I need to back up my presets to the computer (Win7 32 or 64bit). I've downloaded the Prodatum editor but I can't tell if it saves all the presets or just one at a time. Maybe I've missed something while reading the manual. If Prodatum is not designed for bulk dumps of presets what is recommended? I understand e-loader is not for saving presets - correct?

Thanks

Just to be clear, you have pressed the MIDI button and are at 'SEND MIDI SYSEX DATA' ?
Cursor down and select say 'bank 0 user presets'
Press the flashing Home/Enter.

The CS send should light and the counter on the manual dump in MidiOx should start counting if you have the  connected Midi interface selected as a device in Options/Midi Device... in MidiOx.

This is all that should be required as far as I know and works perfectly on my system.
The fact that you are not seeing Midi out led light up on the CS means the problem is in the CS.

Thank you rpcfender. The answer is yes and as I was dreading midi out doesn't light. I hate to go into diagnostics mode without first having backed up my presets - back to square one, I guess.
