Pro 3 Factory Program Banks<\/strong><\/h5>\n

The sidebar at the right\u00a0contains all of the factory program banks\u00a0for the Pro 3. This downloadable file also includes installation instructions.<\/p>\n

The program data is in a MIDI System Exclusive (SysEx) file. You will need a DAW,\u00a0MIDI utility, or other application capable of opening and sending MIDI System Exclusive\u00a0(SysEx) messages.\u00a0MIDI-OX<\/a><\/span>\u00a0(Windows) and\u00a0SysEx Librarian<\/a><\/span>\u00a0(Mac OS) are shareware MIDI\u00a0utilities that can reliably be used to update Sequential instruments. You will also need either a\u00a0USB cable (Type A to Type B connectors, like a typical USB printer cable) or a MIDI\u00a0interface and cable to transmit the SysEx file from your computer to the Pro 3.<\/p>\n

You will find instructions for updating using MIDI-OX and SysEx Librarian below.<\/p>\n

IMPORTANT NOTE<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Be aware that loading the factory programs overwrites any user programs that are currently in memory. If\u00a0you have programs you want to keep, be sure to save them to a SysEx file first. Refer to\u00a0the manual for more information about initiating a SysEx dump from the Pro 3’s\u00a0front\u00a0panel controls.<\/em><\/p>\n

LOADING PROGRAMS FROM WINDOWS USING MIDI-OX<\/strong><\/h5>\n

Before starting, close all other audio or MIDI or DAW software, and disconnect all other\u00a0MIDI devices. If necessary, download and install MIDI-OX.<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.midiox.com\/<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

To prepare the Pro 3 to receive system exclusive messages:<\/strong><\/h5>\n
    \n
  1. Connect your synthesizer to a computer using a USB cable (or MIDI cable, if you are using a dedicated MIDI interface).<\/li>\n
  2. Press the Global button on your Pro 3.<\/li>\n
  3. Use Soft Knob 1 to select “MIDI\u00a0Sysex Cable” then use the Soft Knob 3 to choose either USB\u00a0or MIDI, depending on which port you are using to connect to your computer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If using USB, the Pro 3 is a Class Compliant USB device. That means it does not\u00a0require any additional drivers to be installed to communicate with your computer. It will\u00a0appear in MIDI-OX and other MIDI applications as a MIDI port named “Pro 3” (Under\u00a0Windows XP, it will appear as “USB Audio Device.”)<\/p>\n

    If using a MIDI interface, connect the computer’s MIDI out to the Pro 3’s MIDI in.\u00a0Depending on the type of interface, you may also need a MIDI cable.<\/p>\n

    To load the programs:<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Run MIDI-OX.<\/li>\n
    2. From the Options menu, choose “MIDI Devices.”<\/li>\n
    3. In the lower left quadrant of the window, select the MIDI port to which the instrument\u00a0is connected. If connected via USB, choose “Pro 3” (or “USB Audio Device” under\u00a0Windows XP). If connected via MIDI, choose the MIDI interface. The selected MIDI port\u00a0appears in the Port Mappings window.<\/li>\n
    4. Click OK to close the dialog and save the settings.<\/li>\n
    5. From the View menu, choose “SysEx.”<\/li>\n
    6. From the SysEx menu, choose “Configure.”<\/li>\n
    7. Set the Low Level Output Buffers “Num” and “Size” to 4096.<\/li>\n
    8. Under Output Timing, make sure that “Auto-adjust Buffer Delays if necessary” is NOT\u00a0enabled.<\/li>\n
    9. Click OK to close the dialog and save the settings.<\/li>\n
    10. From the Command Window menu, choose “Load File.” Browse to and open the Pro 3 programs file.<\/li>\n
    11. From the Command Window menu, choose “Send SysEx.” They will replace any existing programs in those memory locations on the synth.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \n
      LOADING PROGRAMS FROM A MAC USING SYSEX LIBRARIAN<\/strong><\/h5>\n

      Before starting, close all other audio or MIDI or DAW software, and disconnect all other\u00a0MIDI devices. If necessary, download and install SysEx Librarian.<\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Run SysEx Librarian.<\/li>\n
        2. Choose your MIDI interface from the “Destination” menu.<\/li>\n
        3. Click Add\/+ to add the file to the file list or simply drag and drop the file on the\u00a0open SysEx Librarian window. The file name appears in the file list and should be highlighted.<\/li>\n
        4. Click Play. They will replace any existing programs in those memory locations on the synth.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
