 Saving presets using another application
As with MIDI files, you might do an Internet search for companies that carry Sysex products. Some
products are bundled with many useful MIDI tools, others are more simplistic. Generally, the programs you
pay for are of better quality, although there are some fine shareware programs available.
For the purposes of this example we will demonstrate preset saves and loads using a shareware program
called MIDI-OX.
Fender does not distribute or recommend this or any other program for this purpose and is not connected
with MIDI-OX. With that said, let's try a preset save.
Setting up MIDI-OX, the SYSEX Configuration
Download MIDI-OX (http://www.midiox.com/index.htm) and install it. After starting MIDI-OX go to the
third toolbar selection, a folder called "Show the System Exclusive Window." This will bring up the
"Sysex View and Scratchpad" window. In this window, go to the "Sysex / figure" area. There are three
items to change here. See Figure 14. Change the circled parameters to the settings shown in Figure 14.
Figure 14: Sysex / Configure window, change the circled settings.
Changing the delay number from the default of 60ms to 180ms helps the PC meter out the MIDI data at a
slow enough pace to not overwhelm the small buffers inside the PC. Checking the "Save Dump directly to
a file" box causes MIDI-OX to automatically ask for a filename. The above settings have worked well on
test PCs, although your PC may be different.
