New Pro 3 Wavetables

The sidebar has a downloadable set of 32 new wavetables (“Pro 3 Add-on Wavetables”) and an accompanying bank of 128 programs by sound designer Drew Neumann (“Pro 3 Add-on Programs”). These wavetables will load into wavetable slots 33-64, which are reserved for user wavetables. They will not overwrite the factory wavetables.

The accompanying bank of 128 programs loads into User Bank 2. If Bank 2 already has custom programs that you want to preserve, use a MIDI Utility to save them to your computer before loading the new bank of 128 custom programs.

IMPORTANT NOTE

You must load all 32 of the new wavetables before loading the new bank of 128 sound programs since the programs use the new wavetables. Be sure to reset Global parameters using the “Reset Globals” command in the Commands tab of the Global parameters menu. To load multiple wavetables consecutively, you must set a delay between each SysEx file. On a Mac running Sysex Librarian, set “Pause Between Played Messages” to 700ms. On a PC running MIDI-OX, set “delay after F7” to 700ms

LOADING CUSTOM WAVETABLES

To load new wavetables into user slots 33-64, you will need a DAW, MIDI utility, or other application capable of opening and sending MIDI System Exclusive (SysEx) messages. MIDI-OX (Windows) and SysEx Librarian (Mac OS) are shareware MIDI utilities that you can use to do this. You’ll need a USB cable (Type A to Type B connectors, like a typical USB printer cable) to transmit the SysEx file from your computer to the Pro 3.

To load custom wavetables into the Pro 3:

  1. Turn on the Pro 3.
  2. Connect the Pro 3 to your computer with a USB cable.
  3. On the Pro 3, press the Global button, then press Soft Button 2 and set “MIDI SysEx Cable” to “USB.” Press the Global button again to exit.
  4. Use a MIDI utility such as SysEx Librarian (Mac) or MIDI-OX (Windows) to open all 32 wavetables.
  5. Send all 32 wavetables to the Pro 3 (refer to the documentation for your MIDI utility).
  6. To load multiple wavetables consecutively, you must set a delay between each SysEx file. On a Mac running Sysex Librarian, set “Pause Between Played Messages” to 700ms. On a PC running MIDI-OX, set “delay after F7” to 700ms.

Sound Designer Drew Neumann has also created a new bank of 128 Pro 3 programs that utilize these wavetables. You can download these try out the new wavetables.

To load the bank of 128 new programs into the Pro 3:

  1. Turn on the Pro 3.
  2. Connect the Pro 3 to your computer with a USB cable.
  3. On the Pro 3, press the Global button, then press Soft Button 2 and set “MIDI SysEx Cable” to “USB.” Press the Global button again to exit.
  4. Use a MIDI utility such as SysEx Librarian (Mac) or MIDI-OX (Windows) to open the bank of 128 programs (“Pro 3 Add-on Program Bank”).
  5. Send the program bank to the Pro 3 (refer to the documentation for your MIDI utility).
