Reply To: Creatin of large patch lists for hardware synths

I have the most complete collection for myself in the Cubase format. However. It is very similar to most of the other formats I have seen. I few lines of header info followed by (in various orders) patch name,MSB LSB, patch number. One problem is that each format uses a different order for that data and different conventions such as quotes or commas etc.

The only really tough one is Sibelius because of the way they have it organized.

I think Cubase and Cakewalk are the key formats to consider though.

I’ll try to dig up a couple of those for you tomorrow though I would be surprised if you did not have some sort of Cubase and Cakewalk, maybe even just demos, on your system just so you can understand what everybody else is doing and where your market niche delivers what they do not.
