Sorrell Posted December 26, 2015 Share Posted December 26, 2015 Back in the dark ages, I used my old PC with Monkey, to update my Vettas and backup my patches. I now have a 27" iMac and am still using my Vettas, exclusively. I'm getting a little superstitious about my Vettas and I really want to backup my patches to this machine. It's a litle clunky to pull out my other HD, to use as backup drive. I downloaded Monkey the other day, but it appears that it doesn't support Vettas. Any words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. Steve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DickFoster Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Line6 stopped supporting the Vetta with Monkey a while back which is a web based program. I think Monkey is only for updating the firmware anyway not saving your patches. You'd have to go back and look for something like the MidOx program for the Windows platform for your Apple computer. You might also ask around in the Vetta discussion group on Facebook. It's users helping users so maybe there are some Mac folks there who can point you in the right direction.

Sorrell Posted December 28, 2015 Author Share Posted December 28, 2015 Thanks DickFoster. I'll try that. You're right. I only used Monkey to update my Vettas. Maybe it was MidOx I used to use for backing up. Too many brain cells ago, I guess... I'll keep at it. SS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sorrell Posted December 30, 2015 Author Share Posted December 30, 2015 I ended up just bringing out my old HD and using is as a backup drive. Basically, I used what I had. My desktop interface has no midi connections (really????), so I gave up...for now. Thanks again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tmacterry Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I have a PowerMac G5. I use a system exclusive library called ironically enough "SysEx". Go figure. Anyway I use with my Korg M1 Workstation to update and save patches. I thought what the heck sys ex is sys ex, right? Sure enough I hooked up my Vetta Combo via midi cables and voila! Works like a charm. Search on the web for it. It's freeware. My two cents. Hope this helps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
