lost all of my MX4 patches?

Post by taylor12k »

tonight i tried loading in ZooZither's patches.. and after loading one of those banks i noticed that my own custom bank of patches was wiped out!

could it be possible that the ZooZither sounds wrote over mine?

i don't think i ever Exported my bank... does that means it's lost forever? or do the banks get saved automatically somewhere...

if so.. where?

thanks

Hello _
I have not yet MX4 but you would have to perhaps save your bank before loading of the patches of ZooZither.

By the way; is MX4 multitimbral 16 parts?

MX4 can hold multiple banks...

whenever i loaded all 3 ZooZither banks, they would all show up in the bank list... none of them got erased...

but, when i loaded the first ZooZither it erased my bank.

no, MX4 is not multitimbral.. but you can simply load multiple instances of it.

I'm not in front my working machine so I'm just shooting in the dark ...

If I remember properly, it should be here:
Macintosh HD/Library/Application Support/Motu

If I'm wrong, I'll suggest to perform the command FIND and type MX4. You should find everything you need.
