Hi Netters! I was just curious about somthing. On alot of other computer platforms generic bulk dump utilities are available. Actually all I really need is a program that will recieve a front-panel initiated bulk patch dump and store it to disk. (also possibly should be able to dump back) I seem to remeber reading about such a program being posted to C.S.A.Binaries, but lo our feed to it has gone the way of the Buffalo. Send me mail if possible. Thanks. James COLYER@silver.ucs.indiana.edu p.s. An FTP site or fish disk # will do just fine also!

I wrote MP (MIDI Playground) on Fish Disk 478, also posted to comp.sources.amiga (anonymous ftp to ab20.larc.nasa.gov). It will act a bulk dump/restore utility, but that is not really its purpose. It's a generic translator between MIDI data, binary file data, and text representation of MIDI. The documentation describes how to use it as a bulk dump/restore program. Note: MP will be slow for dump/restore because it writes one byte at a time. This is necessary due to the byte-oriented "translator" design of the rest of the program. A real MIDI dump/restore program would use I/O more efficiently. But MP will work.
