Hi,
I am a brand new owner of the MOOG SP and I would like to share my experience with Linux (Ubuntu) working with our beloved synth.
First of all you have to identify the midi interface adress by typing in the terminal :
amidi -l
return
the system should display something like :
IO hw:2,0,0 USB_CABLE_MIDI
IO hw:2,0,1 blablabla
in this example: hw:2,0,0 represent the adress of my USB to Midi interface, in the two above command, replace the adress (hw:1,0,0) by your one.
to send from Linux a complete set of preset or an individual one to the SP ,
type the following command line in a terminal :
amidi -p hw:1,0,0 -s mypreset.syx
Type ‘return’ key.
where mypreset.syx can be LP_SE_factorysounds.syx or other Phatty’s set, or it can be 00 moog stage.syx for an invidual one. The preset file must be in the current directory (ie : home), type : ls -l to check if the file is right located.
Once achevied you can play with the new presets without rebooting the SP.
to send something from the SP to the computer
type the following command line in a terminal :
amidi -p hw:1,0,0 -r mypreset.syx -t 5
where mypreset.syx is the name you want to give to the file which will contain the factory presets, your custom presets or just one preset actually IN the SP.
Type ‘return’ key.
then from the SP select in the Master / Sysex send menu :" all presets" or “one” then hit “enter” button.
The SP will display 'sending …" and once achieved it will go back to the SysEx menu, on the terminal window, the size of the received file is displayed.
I hope it will help all the Linux fans to fully play with their MOOG.
Nicolas, France
