12 New Patches by Rowland Rose

#1

Here are 10 custom Parva patches I’ve made. Half are inspired by tutorials on synth design that I’ve found online, the other half are just me playing with parameters until something interesting happens. I’ve assigned a normal pitch-bend amount for them all, plus something interesting with the mod-wheel for each. Bass, pad and lead are all covered. I’m only scratching the surface of what this machine can do I’m sure.

These are tested working on firmware 0.62, voicecard 0.64. They take up B30 to B39.

B30 BASSICK.syx (453 Bytes)

Rowland. These patches are very nice. Esp. The clean lead. Do you have any more you can share?

#3

Thanks! I do not at the moment, but I do want to make more, and when I do I’ll share them here.

#4

Hey! Just got my Parva yesterday, so forgive the noob question–how do I load these?

#5

The patches are sysex files – just use any sysex utility to send them to the Parva. A couple of good choices are SysEx Librarian for Mac or MIDI-OX for PC.

#6

Awesome, worked like a charm, thanks!

#7

Hey–so actually, I was able to load the patches to the Parva but they seem corrupted, somehow. All the Range and Fine values for all the oscillators are negative, and none of them make noise. Flipping all negative values to their corresponding positive values doesn’t produce any sound, either, but selecting shipped or my own homebrewed patches work just fine. Any ideas on what’s going on?

#9

Yeah, that sure did! What’s up?

#10

There was an inconsistency between the patch dump and store functions in one firmware rev, which caused patches to be mis-aligned. I’ve fixed these files and re-uploaded them in my previous comment. If you run into this in the future, this utility will fix it.

#11

Awesome, I appreciate it.
