Import a bank from MKS-50:
Import a bank from MKS-50: To import a bank from an MKS-50, set up bi-directional communication with the
Alpha Juno as shown in the figure on page 16. Navigate to Fn: Receive MKS-50 Bank
Fn: Receive MKS-50 Bank in the MIDI: SYSEX menu.
If this option does not show up, be sure that the Unit is set for MKS-50 and not Juno operation. Because the
MKS-50 uses the PATCH & TONE structure, there are 3 files that must be tranferred and parsed: TONE A, TONE B,
and PATCH. MPG-50 will take these 3 object files and combine them into Retroaktiv PATCH format, which does
not use the PATCH & TONE distinction.
