Saving NPRN parameter changes

MIDIbox SID
1

Hi everybody,

in some situations i wouldt like to control my sid only via nrpn controlers

from an external midi keyboard.

Now i have some questions:

Is there a way to store these parameter changes too during a patch save?

Are they stored in the edit buffer so i can request a dump?

Is it possible to dump only a range of data from the edit buffer,

for example to make a save button for every drum instrument?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Best regards

Marxon

Yes, I’m almost certain you can save the state of the instrument after you make changes via NRPN. The MBSID editor (CTRLR or the older one) just send out those or SysEx to do parameter changes. That said, it’s been a while since I have had the need to change a parameter via a keyboard and store it but I’m pretty sure it works. You just save the patch back like you normally would when editing patches.

Doing a dump of the buffer I think is possible too but I’ve never looked into it. Saving partial edits is another story, though. I can’t think of a good way to do that.

Hi m00dawg!

May this works. If ctrlr couldt save a nprn edited patch via a sysex then it must be possible.

I try to capture this string and map it to my keyboard.

I overlooked this memo in the changelog:

“-individual save function for instruments (for all engines)”

Maybe this function is available in a further update
