Exporting/sharing presets

SEND PRESET allows you to send the SysEx data for the currently selected Preset for archiving. Before selecting this function, enable the device that will receive the SysEx data. Once the remote device is enabled, press ENTER to start the data transfer.

Are there plans for a Mac-based preset manager that will tie in with the SEND PRESET function? It could make managing presets easier and sharing presets between users a reality.

Not sure; however you can certainly use SysEx Librarian to do most of those things, and it's free. Also, remember that you can copy and swap presets internally within the Multi-Pedal, which should make managing presets relatively easy to begin with. These functions live in the Utilities menu.

Cheers,

Amos

Thanks! I'll play around with this and try to share some presets.

Just a quick note: SysEx Librarian and my MP-201 don't seem to get along very well. I'm guessing this is due to MIDI over USB issues, but don't know enough to say for sure. When I try to export a preset from the MP-201 I do get data in SysEx Librarian. It'll pick a seemingly random manufacturer to go along with the data it receives. If I export it again, I'll get a different sized file and a different manufacturer. Like I said, I imagine this is a USB issue, but I don't have another MIDI interface to try. Just an FYI for other users out there that things might not work quite right.

If this is the case, may I suggest the M-Audio UNO? Cost is roughly 35-40 dollars, and is very effective for connecting the DIN pins to the USB on your computer. Just trying to help.
