I’ve seen it asked in a couple of places, how can I easily re-organise the factory samples in the M:C. The problems being (1) the transfer app does not expose the /factory folder and (2) you can’t move preset files conveniently, so if you want to have a folder of, say, bass drum sounds which is a mix your own and say 10 from the factory folder, it’s not terribly easy.
It’s not too hard to figure out, but to save effort, here it is. You need the transfer app AND a ‘sysex app’ like C6 or sysex librarian.
Step 1
On M:C, in Plusdrive folder /factory, folder by folder, send the folder as sysex to your ‘sysex app’
Step 2
On M:C in new folder (maybe factor2) on Plusdrive, for each sysex
- create receiving folder (SY, BD etc)
- navigate inside that empty folder
- send the corresponding sysex (using your chosen sysex app) to the M:C and the presets will land in that folder
Step 3
Copy your new folder (factor2 if you followed my suggestion) to your computer using transfer and re-arrange the 512 presets as you wish.
It may need pointing out that these files (the sysexs and the preset files generated from them) are, I think, licensed to you by Elektron, so they should not be shared. (That’s my understanding at the moment)
