Back in August 2000, BOB JACKSON of Canada posted a thread on the forum regarding the PROFEX II presets.
"Just thought I would let you know that you can store your presets (Profex) on your computer if you have a program like CAKEWALK and a MIDI CABLE. Once on the PC they can be stored on a floppy"
What I would like to know is HOW one goes about transferring/copying these presets (example: JEFF NEWMANS STEEL GUITAR PROFEX PRESETS 128) to one's computer.
I do have CAKEWALK, version "HOME STUDIO 9"
What type of MIDI cable will I need and how do I hook the PROFEX II into my computer.
Once hooked up what's next step in creating a file using CAKEWALK.
After I have these presets on file in my computer how do I transfer these 128 presets back into my PROFEX II if for instance my Cache Card 32 battery goes at the same time that my Profex II internal battery dies. I know that if the internal battery goes the unit must be set back to Peavey to have the Factory settings reinstalled. Once repaired I would like to reload the 128 Steel guitar presets back into the Profex II via the computer. Once loaded back into the Profex I can then copy them back onto the Cache Card.
Also will this work with my TRANS/TUBE/FEX?
I also have the Peavey Cache Card 32 loaded with Jeff's settings.

Ken, you transfer the files via "Sysex" commands. There are many programs that will do Sysex commands and transfer data. There has been some threads in the Computer section on this. There is also a section in the manual on Sysex and MIDI control. You can transfer files either way - to the computer or from the computer.
You will need a MIDI cable that connects between the MIDI/Joystick port on your Computer sound card, the one end has the 15 pin computer connector the other end will have two MIDI DIN connectors to connect to the Profex II or the Transtube Fex.
But, as long as you have your user programs backed up on a cache card you will have a backup.
I see you have a misconception on the Profex II (or the TranstubeFex). If the battery goes dead on a unit, you WILL lose the user programs but not the factory programs. The factory programs are on a PROM chip, and the battery is only there to maintain the user memory while the unit is powered off.
I'm moving this to the Computer section. |
