Tone Dump Importing
Tone Dump Imports The Kiwitechnics Kiwi30 upgrade is
capable of loading in Kiwi30,
Oberheim M1000, Kiwi106, Kiwi8P,
Roland JX-8P and Roland
JX-10/MKS-70 tones via midi. This is
achieved by playing the sysex dump
into the Kiwi30.
There are some caviates though.
Because the tone layout and sound
generation in the Kiwi30 is not the
same as the synths being imported it
is not possible to get the tones
sounding exactly the same by a
simple conversion.
Some OB M1000 tone dumps
contain names that are in the form
'BNKx: yz'. When these are
encounted the tone number is
calculated as follows. X is multiplied
x 100, Y is multiplied by 10 and
these are added to Z. The result of
this can be 000-999.
Other tone dumps are also
converted into a single number in
similar ways. A Roland tone would
be (Group x 64) + (Bank x 8) +
Tone.
Once this number has been found it
is converted into the format that the
MKS-30 uses. The number is divided
by 512 and the result is the Set
number (1-3), then the remainder is
divided by 64 and the result is the
Group Number (1-8), then the
remainder is divided by 8 and the
result is the Bank Number (1-8) and
what is left is the Tone number (1-8).
An example would be the M1000
tone number 721 will end up in
2:4:3:2 (S:G:B:T).
WARNING - Tones dumps have to
ability to quickly overwrite large
numbers of existing tones.
WARNING – Tone Dumps will attempt
to put themselves into the same
position that they were saved from. If
you are importing tones from a
different synth they may not always
end up where you expect them to go.
Make sure you have tones you wish
to keep backed up before importing
tone dumps.
