Just how DO you do it? I'm using Cubasis at the moment (will upgrade soon). Any help will be appreciated immensely. Thanks, everyone. Jeff.

I think a little more defined question is needed here . What do you mean by patches ? A patch for your program to update ? A patch for your keyboard or module .

Thanks, jonniepain. I meant patches for synths...sounds and sound banks.

The general format for patches and banks would be a sysex file. The extension would be .syx, and would look something like this : bank1.syx

You would usually load it to the synth using a computer, thru midi. MIDI out of computer to MIDI in of the synth. Most sequencers will 'play back' sysex data, and there's a lot of shareware/freeware programs that do that. Not sure about cubasis.

Judging from your other post, you own an M-1. Did that have a floppy? If it accepts dos format disks you may be able to just copy the file from your pc to the floppy and then load the bank from the m1.

Some banks may also come in formats specific to certain editor librarians, such as Unisyn.

Some synths will have card slots or floppy drives, but loading a .syx file thru midi from a computer is the typical case.
