How do I archive my 02R Scenes with a computer?

Archived from groups: rec.audio.pro (More info?)

I need to archive my scene memories. I've tried enabling Sysex with Cubase
SX and recording a dump onto a channel but that only writes one Sysex word
of information and doesn't do the job. I used to have an old Korg DF1 Midi
Data Filer which was an archaic device that could do it with keyboard
patches but surely theres some little utility I could use on the PC that
would do the same thing?

Any ideas?

regards,

Martin

When I had an O2R, I used to us an Alesis DataDisk unit (rackmount sys ex
recorder with 3.5 disk drive). I think they sell for $75 on Ebay.

I've tried recording them on a cubase MIDI track with filters off. As I say,
all that gets recorded is 1 Sysex word of data. Have you done this yourself
with a sequencer?

I haven't but I have had firmware updates that you load to midi devices
from a standard midi file. That is why I thought it might work.

Is there possibly a setting in the software to only receive the first
word of a sysex?

Hello Martin,

This console goes back a few years and Yamaha did not make any software for this console. I asked Yamaha the same question and here is a copy of the email I got from Yamaha.


Software applications that worked with the original 02R were produced by third party companies in conjunction with Yamaha. Yamaha never sold or offered external software products for 02R so I can't help you very much on this point. The most complete project management software for 02R came from C-MEXX and it was called Visualizer for 02R. I believe C-MEXX also offered C-Console software as well that will work with 02RV2 as well. You might be able to search Google to find a source for these applications. I also recall a company called zeep.com that produced outboard software for our console products. I am not sure you will be able to find this company or their products anymore.

I hope this helps.

As far as connections go you would need an adapter or midi interface. The to host port on the O2R is pretty much a parallel of the midi ports. So this 9 pin din connector (to host) would plug in to the serial jack on a older computer that has serial ports. I had to make my own adapter to do this here is the pin out of the addaptor.

Software is here http://www.c-mexx.com/english/5-downloads.htm#trials

Its a bit of work and time but that would be the best way to do what you want to as the software would also control the console in real time.
