        You mean like the songs people do here, with a performance dump in
the beginning ? or just to save data from the JV to make a library ?

>I thought it would be a good idea to try to upload one patch to my PC and
then dump one from the PC to the computer.  How do I do this.

        First not all sequencer software record sysex in real time, the
others have a sysex utility built-in, thats depends on what sequencer you
have for explanations. Lets say you have Cubase:

1- prepare the JV to dump a patch UTILITY/BULK DUMP
2- choose for source TEMP : PATCH
3- on the sequencer press record (with no automatic quantize)
4- immediatly press "enter" on the JV
5- stop the record function when the JV says "complete"
6- save the Cubase (or else) file as usual

        If you want to make a song with a performance dump in the beginning
this is almost the same as above except for "2- choose for source TEMP :
PERFORMANCE" instead. When your song is finished and your performance patch
is to your liking, just select all the parts (tracks) and push them 4-5 bars
away (depending on the tempo) to leave an empty space before the song in
order to record the dump in the beginning, be sure to let the dump finish
"playing before the song starts.

        In Cakewalk its quite different you'll have to use the sysex utility
to save the performance and set it to "auto". But there is surely Cakewalk
expert here to explain further.

        If you are on Windows and just want to make patches libraries
there's a very useful JV 1810 and XP 50 Librarian/Editor demo called JV 1080
manager from a user on this list in Italy, thats what I use to manage banks
and saving dumps from my JV, I like it very much and its ""free"", thanks to
