Reply To: Creatin of large patch lists for hardware synths

Actually I do have an SW1000XG but when I do my own patch list for it I include the patches for the VL daughter card I have installed onboard.

I also have an EMU Virtuoso 2000 with several other sound set cards installed inside that.

I have a Korg KARMA and I have a MOSS (physical modeling) circuit board installed inside that. I have created about 5 128-patch sets for the MOSS that I switch between so I have 5 versions of the KARMA sound set and I just use the one that matches the MOSS sound set that I have currently installed in flash RAM.

I sometimes like to use non-standard names that include the patch and even MSB LSB so I have some portability to programs that require I manually input that data to bring up the same patch.

Musicator lets you easily organize patches in sub menus so I like to do that when I can.

I also have a Yamaha VL-70m which I use with a controller so I like the patches for that handy as well. There’s also a Yamaha CS-6x and Kurzweil K2000s.

I use VSTi synths more and more nowadays but I try to avoid sequecers that place my hardware virtually out of bounds. 😕
