Thanks to help from this forum I was able to locate the OMS names window in Cubase and select the GM names list. However: I want to transfer, or manually enter the whole list of patches from my synth across to OMS. The tutorial on this site for this topic is lame, and I've sent feedback on that. I would like to know how to configure OMS so I can use ProTools, cos I prefer it to Cubase. I've read the documentation, but can't grasp the general idea. It was simple to select the GM list for OMS in Cubase, but I don't see provision for adding subsequent banks. Naturally when I create a new bank it overwrites the old one.
When I access OMS as a stand-alone it said that there was nothing to edit, and wouldn't let me create a new patch-list document (although that was prior to selecting GM in Cubase, then returning to OMS - why it can't all be done in one or the other I'll never know). Again I lament the absolute stupidity of this silly little antiquated program. I feel like asking Opcode for a Mac version.
Alternately if anyone can explain how to receive a Sysex bulk dump that would be greatly appreciated. I know how to get the synth to send the dump, but don't know how to receive it. I'm using a usb UM-1 MIDI interface - basic in and out.

Pardon me if I'm a bit stroppy, but I'd like to get on with actually making some music so I can earn a living.

Ash

Hi Ash
Check the digi design website links page........ and downloads....
I found a standalone patchname editor for OMS there.
Designed for use with protools and OMS, Creates OMS patchname docs for use with any application that supports the format (NOT LOGIC)
