Set up, saving and loading of RAM & ROM banks, patches and multis on Mac

  • Hello,


    I'm a new user of the TI2 Polar.


    I'm having trouble getting my head around how to set up, save and load user and artist RAM and ROM banks, patches and multis.


    I am on a Mac Book Pro and just using Garageband as the Virus Control plug in host. Not sure if this is part of my problem as its not a "supported" host.



    I understand individual patches save as .mid files


    But what about banks ?


    And how do multis work in terms of saving and loading ? Do they use the .mid file extension as well ?

  • You cannot save individual patches as .mid files. You always save a whole bank.


    AFAIK, there's no way to manage Multis via the VC or VCC. You have to receive/send them via MIDI SysEx messages and use something like SysEx Librarian to store the data on your computer.
