I'm aware this Will be some tedious work, but can you consider possible some kind of "send to hardware" button first to bulk all the patch data to the hardware? (I know you can already do that saving the patch / bank and importing in the hardware with a librarían...too tedious)
In the mentime we can send the patch to the TG/SY 77 after create/modify in Swayed until we can manipulate with real time (sysex) from soft to hardware. That would be Magic!
That's definitely something I want to implement, but there are some difficulties. I already have some code to send an entire patch at once to A01 (it's what I used for testing during development), but I didn't get it working 100% with 4 element patches. For some reason the TG77 is really picky when it comes to receiving SysEx data. If you send the data too fast or too slow it comes in corrupted, or doesn't work. 2 element patches are small enough that you can send the entire data all at once, but 4 element patches need to be broken up in chunks.

Other software seems to suffer from the same problem. For example, with SY Manager I'm unable to send a full bank to my TG77. It also comes in corrupted, exactly the same as my own code. So far only Midi-Ox seems to reliably do the trick for me. Maybe it also depends on what kind of audio interface you have?

I'm curious to hear if other SY77/TG77 owners also have difficulties when uploading SysEx banks to their hardware.

Guess you could investigate how is MIDIOX splitting the sysex messages and at which rate it's sending them, then mimic that...

I haven't find any problem transferring patches from sy.factory or sy manager in any synthesis combination. I'm using a motu espress 128 midi interface in windows 11...
