What are the files you are trying to send? If it's DX7 patch banks for instance I think those do not have Performances, only Voices (patches). A Performance in Yamaha-speak is a multitimbral setup, on the TX802 that has 8 parts. A Voice can be assigned to each part of a Performance. It only has poi...

Regarding edit buffers: Say a (hypothetical) synth has 10 memories. With no edit buffer, when you started editing patch 1, the data of patch 1 would be immediately changed/overwritten with your edits.

My question is concerning the appropriate way to power the synth. Since it is from Japan, it uses the Japanese 100V powering s...
