Importing Programs and Banks
Importing Programs and Banks
You can use a MIDI librarian application such as such as SysEx Librar-
ian for Macintosh, or MIDIOX for Windows to transmit exported
program or banks back into your Prophet X. You will need a computer
and an appropriate software application.
To import a program or bank as a SysEx file over MIDI:
1. Connect your synthesizer to a computer using a USB cable (or MIDI
cable, if you are using a dedicated MIDI interface).
2. Press the
global
button on your Prophet X.
3. Use the s
oft
k
nob
1 to select
midi sysex cable
, then use Soft Knob 3
to choose either
usb
or
midi
, depending on which port you are using to
connect to your computer.
4. Open your MIDI librarian software and configure it to send SysEx
messages to your Prophet X.
5. In the MIDI librarian, open the programs and/or banks you want to send.
6. Transmit the programs. The Prophet X should load them. They will
replace any existing programs in those same memory locations on the
synth.
Programs will load back into the same bank and program locations from which
they were originally exported.
