SYSXDMP1.ZIP
An OS/2 "version" of MIDIEX. Allows transferring MIDI System Exclusive
dumps to/from your computer and a MIDI unit. Such dumps typically include
waveform or patch-setup data. The data can then be stored on your
computer's storage media (ie, HD or floppy), and later sent back to the
MIDI unit in order to restore its settings/sounds. In addition to
non-handshaking transfers for all MIDI gear, SysXDump implements
handshaking for Roland gear and also samplers that do MIDI Sample Dump
Standard (SDS) dumps (ie, Akai S-1000 and derivatives, EMU Emax and
Emulator, Peavey SX and SP, etc), thus improving the speed of dumps as well
as error checking of data. It saves SDS dumps as WAVE files so that you can
load and edit the waveform data using Wave Editing software, plus SysXDump
sends WAVE files out as an SDS dump to a sampler. Other System Exclusive
data is stored in standard MIDI files, so that you can load and play these
using any MIDI sequencer that supports System Exclusive. SysXDump also
works with gear that sends out "active sense" (ie, lots of Roland stuff).
For SDS, allows you to request a dump from the external unit so that you
never have to initiate dumps from the MIDI unit. Includes PM and command
line versions. Requires MPUDEV driver or equivalent.
