Hi Nick,

In my experience it looks like the Editor cannot load sysEx preset banks directly from the .syx file on your computer.

The quickest way to do this that I’ve found is to use the Editor to save whatever presets are already on your phatty into the computer (then save these presets to the Editor Library, which uses its own format).

Next, use SysEx Librarian (Mac) or MidiOx (PC) to send the .syx bank file to your Little Phatty… once this is done, you can open the Editor again and dump all the new presets from your Little Phatty to the Editor, and add these to the Library.

There is virtually no limit to the number of presets you can have saved in the Library, so you only need to repeat this process once for each of the factory banks. You will then have all of the Little Phatty presets in your Editor library and you can mix and match which ones you send to the Phatty.

It takes a few minutes to “process” all the sysEx presets in this way, but it’s worth the small investment of time. Once all the presets are saved in the editor, you have easy access to a virtual library of hundreds of sounds at the click of a mouse.

Cheers,
