Patch Base & Sysex Base - Any users out there? August 2016 in General App Discussion. My understanding is that the DX7 patches are in 'sysex' form, which can be transmitted over a MIDI cable and interpreted as a stream of data, which the Volca FM assembles as the parameters of a patch. I've tried the Patch Base with the Volca.

Just wanted to confirm with everyone that doing the Midi out mod on the Volca FM allows you to send the program/patch sysex data to your computer for storing and cataloging. I tested this using Dexed on a Mac.
For information about doing the midi out mod I recommend checking out this article, http://www.marcushamblett.co.uk/volca-keys-midi-out-mod-step-by-step/2015/04/04/
The soldering points on the FM are really easy to spot, simply remove batteries and screws on the back panel and right at the top of the PCB you will see the 3 solder points labeled TX, VD, GND (its almost as if Korg wants us to mod this one) Heres a quick cheatsheet for knowing which solder points connect to which pins on the midi out socket.
TX = Pin5, VD = Pin4, GND = Pin2,
Heres a reference for finding the pin numbers. http://www.colomar.com/Shavano/midi1.gif
Also, note that its a really tight fit inside the FM so finding space to mount the Midi socket is tough.
Now we can share our FM created DX patches online ;)

Heres an image of my soldered Volca FM, I'm using a female 1/8th jack instead of the much larger midi socket. http://oi68.tinypic.com/6hjgba.jpg
I am connecting the female 1/8th jack to my midi interface on my computer using one of those midi to 1/8th jack adaptors used for the Korg SQ1.
TRANSMITTING:
Transmitting is simple, after modding the FM with the midi out mod, you just connect the new FM midi output to the midi input of your audio interface. (I'm using one of these midi to usb cables https://elevatorsound.com/2016/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/midi-usb-cable.jpg)

You will need to use a program that can capture the sysex data from the midi signal (I'm using Dexed and Logic X https://asb2m10.github.io/dexed/ )
After installing Dexed make sure you configure the midi in/out of Dexed to your midi interface from within the Dexed interface.
Once you have everything connected, installed and configured and you have Dexed open then just click 'Edit' then 'Export' on the Volca FM and use the Program knob to select what type of transfer you want and then when your ready click 'Export' to actually transfer the patch/sysex data. Now you have the settings of your FM loaded into Dexed which you can now save and 'share' your patch with everyone.
IMO This is an essential mod because this turns the Volca FM into a portable patch creator with a much better interface than an actual DX7. Happy patching!
