Espen Kraft | Prophet X - Overwrite factory memory | Sysex patch edit tutorial @EspenKraft | Uploaded September 2024 | Updated October 2024, 42 minutes ago.
If you receive a bunch of patches (both individual files or whole banks) for your Prophet X, you might not want to have these saved at the same locations they come in.
If you receive a patch that was saved in Bank U2 Patch 90, this will go into THAT memory location on your Prophet X as well, when you transfer it. Unfortunately you can't put it in another memory location when you transfer it. You can of course save it to some place else after you've transferred it to Patch 90 (this example), but only to the 4 different U-banks.
UNLESS.... you edit the sysex file itself before transferring it to your own PX. By doing so you can set it to go exactly where you want. You can even overwrite the factory patches if you want. All banks and patches U1-U4, F1-F4 and A1-A4 can be overwritten in the sysex transfer.
I'm fully aware there exists several library apps and software for the Prophet X that will help you do this. These costs money. My method is totally free.
In this video I'm using a free binary decoder called HdX to load, inspect, edit and save a sysex file.
I'm using Bome SendSX to transfer the edited sysex file from my computer to my PX.
Both these programs are free.
You can certainly edit the sysex file from within the transfer program itself as well.
