Thanks! This was the crux of the problem. I didn’t know what software utility to use.

On Mac, sysex librarian is still the best. It’s gonna be slow.
Again. Back up:the entire machine 1st. Patterns, kits and all.
It won’t overwrite, but if something does go wrong in an update, you’ll wanna have your personal stuff

I have an MD SPS-1 MK1 with OS X.09. Is it worth upgrading to X.12? What are the most noticeable differences? Can you upgrade directly from X.09 to X.12? I don’t use the Machinedrum as a MegaCommand unit.

I think it’s always a good idea to use a newer firmware, even if you don’t use MCL.
Q - how much ability does the X firmware add to do synthesis to external signals? I have a UW so I know its possible to live sample and then play with pitch, retrigs etc but I wondered how much it can expand the machine as an live FX processor? The new FX machines I think can act on an input machine for example? What else?
The NFX machines changes everything

For example you could:
Use NFX track to apply FX to input
RAM record track resampling that
RAM play track messing with that track in real-time
Another NFX track applying FX to the RAM play track etc…
Basically you can just make long chains of processing where the live input can be real-time processed/ tweaked with way more complexity than the OG firmware.

cheers. I will experiment. Anyone else - ideas to explore would be much welcome!
