Patch Management
9 Aug 2011, 08:16I have returned to the "world" of synths and production after a long hiatus. My original foray into workstation projects was with an Ensoniq SQ-80 purchased when they were among the first available workstations.
My struggles are numerous as I have volumes of sequenced original compositions on a device that uses a currently irrelevant MIDI interface. Any direction or guidance on mitigating that obstacle would be helpful.
While I recognize the Juno-G to be a pretty comprehensive workstation, the manuals leave a lot to be desired.
As an example, and to the point of this post, I recently purchased an SRX-03 Expansion Board. Now as I understand the language the word expansion means to "build on that which currently exists." You can't imagine my surprise when I opened the back of the unit and discovered that it is in fact a "swap" board, not an expansion at all, as I had to REMOVE the SRX-98 that was already installed . So I have to eliminate sounds I currently have in order to "expand" the unit? This doesn't qualify as an "expansion!"
The heart of the matter...
What is the most efficient way to move patches from the SRX-03 into the Juno-G memory for future use? I want to then remove the SRX-03 and return the SRX-98 to it's home :-).
