Roland TR-909 Sysex Data / Patch Tool

via Paul on the AH list:

"Little bit of research on this and i came across this nice dump tool by audiorealism

http://www.audiorealism.se/adm/sysex909.zip

its a command line tool, but pretty simple, before running it make sure the 909 is stopped and in track mode, start the tool, tell it the midi in/outs and if its successful you'll end up with a file named sysex909.syx (8368 bytes)

to load the dump back, use something like midi-ox, set the delay after F7 to 300ms (worked best for me) first manually send the command F0 41 50 F7, this tells the 909 to expect a dump file, then jsut send your dump back.

Of course its a bit of a pita, but the 909 sysex is quite an early implementation, you could ease the process by adding the F0 41 50 F7 manually to the sysex file. The important thing here is setting the delay after F7 else the 909 wont catch all the data."
