Hello,
Anyone knows if thee is a Lemur JD800 editor / patch manager ?
It is possible to send and receive patches with the lemur no?

If the JD-800 sysex dump for a single patch is smaller than 256 bytes, it is possible.
If the dump is larger and there's no way to have the JD dump smaller pieces, the answer is no.

That's bytes, not kilobytes. Lemur has a very small limit.

Thank you,
I am a lemur noob, is the a way to measure the received bytes somehow?
Do you like to suggest be anything besides the official user manual to delve deeper into lemur please?

that would be cool... and a ton of work in Lemur. A quick check of a sysex dump shows 266 bytes, F0->F7 inclusive. Since Lemur throws away the F0, you're still 9 bytes too big, so no easy/obvious way to get a single patch dump to or from the JD-800.

My guess is that the actual patch data is 256 bytes with 10 bytes of header/checksum/sysex start/end. Still not something Lemur can handle.
