Patch Script for Cubase

Roy.hewa · Post by **Roy.hewa** » Sat Mar 19, 2016 10:50 pm

Has anyone got the patch script (XML File) for PA600 to work with Cubase please.

I know the PA3X patch script is very close to the PA600, but it has additional entries.

Manually modifying it using Cubase while comparing with the PA600 reference guide is a hectic task.

If someone generously can share it here, it is very much appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

A patch script is a text file, I think the xml files are for devices maybe.

I think Thoraldus made some on the 600

So you would have to open it in excel then copy and paste that into a text file. I didn't see the final result, just a spreadsheet that could be used to make a patch script but maybe I missed something.

Thanks for that info. Cubase expects it in xml format. The above one is not for cubase but for Cakewalk sonar.

But the excel sheet is useful in case I need to write a small program to generate a xml file.

I'm pretty sure they can read patch scripts. You just have to put them in the right place and they will show up on the list when you create a new midi device.

They always could and I think they still do.

Thanks mate. Yes it can be done.

I was trying to import the setup, for which it requires a XML file. By following the way suggested by your reply, I can install the device using a patch text file.

Am in the process of creating the text file as it is in a special format and once done will share it here with all the instructions how to do it. These things should be clearly documented by manufacturers.

In the forum if there is a section 'How to' it would be handy to have this kind of things.

Thanks again and really appreciate.

It can be done with a .txt file. However I find the Cubase import process is flawed as it doesn't recognize MSB and LSB + PC... it only converts to a 14-bit value plus PC. I have lost a lot of hair over this!!
Also I have asked tech support to comment but still awaiting a reply.

I did a successful import for the Korg KLC-M1 for all the instruments, not just the first bank Cubase already provided. (this only needed 14-bits)
