Hi,

I am trying to determine the best workflow for getting external patches onto the memory card of my VG-8EX, e.g. patches found here: https://www.vguitarforums.com/smf/index.php?action=downloads;sa=view;down=85

From looking at the VG-8EX phonebook/ manual  ;D, I am not seeing a transfer option that directly targets the memory card.

In the past I have reloaded all default patches via SysEx Librarian (https://www.snoize.com/SysExLibrarian/) and the Roland UM-ONE MKII (http://www.roland.com/products/um-one_mk2/)

Using this same method above, would I have to first overwrite default patches with the new external patches (sysex versions), then transfer them over to the memory card, then re-load all default patches again?

If there is an easier workflow that anyone can point me too, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks on advance!

I load VG-8 patches into local USER memory space, then move patches from USER memory to Memory CARD memory

as explained on Pages 41-45 of the VG-8 EX manual

My VG8 Librarian might simplify things in being able to load/save from/to file into one buff and rx/tx from/to VG8 into 2nd buff and copy/paste b/w the 2.
