Hi t2k,
This is exactly what I was looking for to store and load patches from my Split-8.
My only problem, is that the split-8 doesn’t have a manual option to send and receive sysex dumps. You have to send a sysex request to get it to send and receive the data… I found an old librarian software that supports the split-8 called opcode galaxy and I found the send and receive patch scripts for it… not sure if it will help…
Here is a link to the galaxy manual, and the send and receive patch scripts.. I hope it all helps.
