Sysex Midi Dump,PC to Synthesizers

Published 2019-09-30
I started releasing my 100% free sound bank "Best Microkorg Sounds" and many people asked how to dump sysex from PC to hardware synthesizers. In this video I wanted to take the time and share the steps needed to dump sysex files and new sounds from PC to your hardware synthesizers.

I made this video to help out the people wanting to use my free sound bank but this process should help anyone with any hardware synthesizer who wants to dump sysex files from a computer.

Thank you for the endless support. All the You Tube views,Bandcamp sales and Patreon supports helps me push my dreams and music forward.

Till next time,stay creative

    I'm an absolute beginner with all things MIDI. Thank you so much for this video!

    THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!! Thanks for helping me export Roland JV-2080 PR-E patches to my JV-1080!
  • Thanks Todd. Will try this for our Yamaha DX-7 II synth, since our floppy drive is not working anymore. There are thousands of sounds for the synth we want to use.

    Thank you for making such a helpful video. Am just getting into Synthesizers and bought my first one. It's a Yamaha SY77. Am trying to download dx7 patches into my SY77.

    Hi! Can i dump a KORG 01W Sysex into KORG KROME or KORG M3 ? Thanks!!!!!
  • I have found conflicting information about Scarlett's supporting SysEx messages. My Beatstep Pro and Midi Solutions Quadra Thru both seem to filter out SysEx messages so I've been unable to reset the firmware on my Retrokits RK-002 cable.

    thanks for this video! could I do same with .mid file in MIDI-OX?
  • @midex12
    Despite having used MIDI-OX with other synths since the late 90s I can not get my Korg microKorg to accept SysEx files. I have read the manual; checked the midi connections; and tried using the microKorg editor and my Daw to send the files as MIDI, but nothing works. I can send the files from the microKorg to the editor and view them, but not the other way around. Also, I followed your links in order to try your 'free' SysEx files to try to get them to work, but all I can see is stuff for sale. So, can you provide a direct link to the free SysEx files and maybe do another video on setting the microKorg up to send and receive SysEx files from MIDI-OX?

    Hi Todd, how to send single voice/patch from midiox to synth? Is there a program which can send separate voices to specific places in synth? Basically i dont want to overwrite saved patches in synth by bulk upload. Thx!!

    I have a question what if you want to keep some custom presets you already have on your microkorg and want to choose in what bank exactly you want to overwrite some of the presets you don't want anymore with your custom sounds?
