Hi everybody.
I own a (Viscount) Oberheim OB12, and I am really happy of it. (to you, synths fanboys)
If there is a thing that i really need at the moment, but which is impossible to find, is a quick and simple way to organize patches and programs. I had plenty of tools to do that for my korg M1, even if i never had the need for that. in this case i need badly a tool that may be slow but at least simple.

Rumors over the net said that viscount provided a software that did that, but their man at customer service (who said he had been following the instrument since his release) kindly wrote me that no such software existed, or maybe it did, but only for internal programming. Also, the unreachable ob12.org was never cached, thanks to robot.txt :/

Then i decided to write my own program. The guy didn't tell me where i could or not do it (due to copyright stuff etc), so i am trying. The program itself is quite simple, but i need to understand what is in the message. Actually, for my purposes i only need to find the byte where patch address is, and since they "weren't allowed to tell me how the structure was" i have to figure it out myself. I did some dumps with sysex librarian, but then i am a bit... stuck D:

So, is there anyone who understand Sysex or have some experience in such things? if you are asking himself why i am doing this... only way to reorganize would be write down on paper every patch, sort them on paper then shift everything needs to. It's not because i'm lazy, it's more because the instrument's memory writing time is veeeeeeeeeeery long .-.

Could you make the tool available to others in the same situation?

Thanks in advance

Are you able to share this editor? Having just purchased an OB12 this would be a fantastic facility. Thanks, Louis.

For those that own an OB12, How do you like it? What types of musical sounds does it shine at creating? What types of sounds are you using for?
(My youtube listening has shown me it's good at creatting chaotic sounds...)
