Exporting Programs and Banks
You can use the dump current program, dump current bank, and dump
current all banks commands in the global menu to transmit the current
program, bank, or all banks in SysEx format via the selected MIDI port.
This allows you to save your programs so that you can share or archive
them. You will need a computer and software application such as SysEx
Librarian for Macintosh, or MIDIOX for Windows.
To export a program or bank as a SysEx le over USB:
1. Connect your synthesizer to a computer using a USB cable.
2. Open your MIDI librarian software (SysEx Librarian, etc.) and cong-
ure it to receive SysEx messages.
3. Press the global button on the Prophet X.
4. Use the soft knob 1 to select midi sysex cable, then use the Soft Knob
3 knob to choose usb.
5. Use the soft knob 1 to select dump current program, dump current
bank, or dump all banks, depending on which of these you would like
to do.
6. Press Soft Key 1 (dump now). The program or bank is exported
Dumped programs will load back into the same bank and program location in
memory when received by the Prophet X via MIDI.
Programs can also be dumped directly from one Prophet X to another
using the MIDI DIN jack, if the midi sysex cable parameter is set to midi
in the global menu.
To send a program or bank to another Prophet X as a SysEx le over
MIDI:
1. Connect two Prophet X synthesizers together using MIDI cables and
the midi in and midi out jacks on their rear panels.
2. On both synthesizers, press the global button and use soft knob 1 to
select midi sysex cable, then use Soft Knob 3 to choose midi.
3. On the Prophet X that you want to send the programs to, press the
global button again to disable it.
4. On the Prophet X that you want to send the programs from, in the
global menu use soft knob 1 to select dump prog, dump bank, or dump
all banks, depending on which of these you would like to do.
5. Press Soft Key 1 (dump now). The program or bank is exported to the other
Prophet X.
Dumped programs will load back into the same bank and program location in
memory when received by the Prophet X via MIDI.
Importing Programs and Banks
You can use a MIDI librarian application such as such as SysEx Librar-
ian for Macintosh, or MIDI-OX 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 le 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 soft knob 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 congure 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.
