Axe-Fx Blocks in sysex mode conversion to blk?

[symphx]

So I recently noticed (guess I dont use them that much) my old fx/cab blocks are gone. I know an update made them useless? and now must be in blk format.

I just want to double check there is no way to send these to the axe fx, and then convert them to blk. Any ideas?

 

[symphx]

anyone? yek?

If they are syx block files you can send them with a standard midi librarian software

I have no idea how to do that, I opened midiox, and tried to send but really didnt know where it went. not sure I can direct it into a patch

Do you have a file to share in order to verify its internal type?

I have the file to share, let me see if I can do it, of course it gives me an error trying to upload. Its simply a previous saved effect block in syx format

 

[symphx]

cant seem to upload, not sure why gives me error

i don't understand the issue.

Blk files embed the block sysex and few leading bytes.
I'd need to take a look at it to see if they can easily be reverse engineered

i don't understand the issue.

The issue is that when trying to pull blocks from fractool, it saves in syx format, which can't be loaded on the FX8.

I've reverse engineered the blk fileformat, so next fractool will allow conversion between block syx and blk files and also between different machines blk files

Hi, I can not find the option where you can transform .syx to .blk in fractool 3.52
There is the option where you can transform cabs from one platform to the other, I choose Axe FX III and the file steel .syx and my AXE III 15.01 only take .blk
I have the same problem with tonematch block, even in AXE III older versions.

Ok, so the problem with .syx cabs, I think I've solved if I use Tools/Manage cabs/ I can load it.
But I can not load the tonematch files.

Yiu have to export tonematches as cabs. Open a preset with tma block, right click on tma block, it's there

Right clicking Tonematch block I have Edit, Move, Bypass/Engage, Channel, Libary/save, but I find the option to open.
Also if I load as new cab, there is no sound.

sorry, I think we have misunderstood, I know how to export the file, but then I can not load it into the preset.

Import it as you would with another cab, it's a cab, an ir

Import it as you would with another cab, it's a cab, an ir

when I open the file as a cab IR there is no sound in the preset. If I choose another IR, there is sound again.
I have tried with different presets.
