Hi
I have an updated LP Tribute Edition. I use an M-Audio Uno as an Midi Interface and use Midi-OX on the computer.
I was going to try out some presets from Stage II and all I got were strange letters and weird noices on the presets.
I had to do a factory reset to get my old presets back because my backup sysex of them didn’t work either.
What am I doing wrong?
Ah, now we know what I have suspected all along. The OS 2.00S presets are not compatible with the Tribute. I had a feeling they wouldn’t be.
Hi smokemon, when you say “updated” LPTE, what version operating system does it have?
Thanx!
Hi, the version is 2.01T
Yep. I figured OS2.00 LP patches wouldn’t work on a Tribute. Sorry to hear this. I wish Moog would have confirmed the fact before someone tried it, though.
Amos, is that so? Or am I just doing something incorrectly?
GregAE said in a post that all patches act the same in both the Stage and Tribute. I’m guessing that the extensions of the file names aren’t .syx. Check that. If all file extensions ARE .syx, then I have no idea. I’m on a Mac, and sysex Librarian is what I use with my UNO. I choose the patch I want to lose, then I click send on the computer, the preset gets sent to the LP. I hope you get the problem worked out. 
Actually, what I said was that the patches in the LP Programmer’s Challenge (about 8-10 patches) were checked on both a Stage and Tribute Edition, and sounded the same on both.
In his initial post, Smokemon said he couldn’t restore his own backup sysex file. This could mean any number of things - the backup file is corrupted, has MIDI cabling issues, MIDI-OX not configured correctly, etc. It could also indicate a problem with the new OS, or perhaps a faulty LP (pretty unlikely on both counts, but possible).
I’m sure that Amos can help get this sorted out.
smokemon, I have seen some similar issues with loading presets from one OS version to another, but I’m not sure why you couldn’t load your own exported presets back to the machine. Were the presets exported before or after the update to OS2.01?
You could try emailing your faulty/exported presets to me at amos (at) m00gmus1c.c0m and I will see if I can load them to my updated Tribute…
Cheers,
Amos
Amos, you’ve got mail! (it translated as amos@moogmusic.com right?)
Yes, that’s his e-mail.
Just to bump this..
Can i load TE patches into my OS3.1 LPStage2?
Thanks! 
Affirmative. I have recently done this with no problems.
HELP!!!
Ok, I backed up my lp stage 2 presets in one go to sysex librarian, but when i load the file back into my LP all i get is jumbled letters and weird stuff 
All my presets are gone!!!
Any ideas anyone?
