i am playing the voyager from a MIDI track in cubase, and then i want to save the patch using sysex, after i send it, where is it saved?
how do i send it back to the voyager?

I know NOTHING of Cubase. (I didn’t have MIDI on my computer until last week.)
I use MidiOx to save and store patches. I tell it I’m gonna send a Sysex dump. Send the dump and it saves it to the name I selected. Do the same to send it back. Load the file and set the Voyager to recieve a patch. Hit send on the computer.

I do it one patch at a time as that doesn’t overwrite the banks on my machine. (Which are full of all sorts of strange things from the previous owner.)

Cubase filters out SysEx by default. So did you actually record the SysEx? Check the Midi filter settings. If the SysEx is not filtered out, the data is saved very much like midi note and controller data. There is also a special SysEx editing window available.
But don’t ask me more details. I am not recording midi notes for years. All I use are SysEx recording software like SysEx Librarian for Mac OS X.

if you want to “dump” a patch from the Voyager as system exclusive information, you need to make sure the software that receives this info (read: records that info) does NOT filter out this sysex info. You must check that in the prefs maybe, I don’t know how to do it in Cubase. In Logic it’s similar,
you make a track for that purpose, arm the track, hit RECORD, and start sending the sysex info FROM your Voyager (through the MIDI cable) INTO the software. You can also do this with banks, as opposed to one single sound.
Then; you save your song, and that’s it.
Next time you start up the song, the process is reversed: you tell the Voyager to start RECEIVING sysex info, and you start to play the track with the sysex you recorded before.
Always make sure you’re just playing the track with the sysex (solo). No other info should go through that MIDI cable.
There are indeed special programs for this purpose, which make the process a bit easier. On mac you have SysEx Librarian. Hope this helps a bit.
