I will be using this post to manage my download links. As files are added or updated it will all happen right here. To open the zip archives I use WinZip for windows, and Archive Utility for macs. For help with MIDI sysex file transfer (all synths except System-1 and Venom) check out this post. For the Roland System-1 and M-Audio Venom, you will need to refer those manufacturers for their file transfer methods.
My selected synthesizer patches are ABSOLUTELY FREE to download. If you are interested in donating, please consider buying my album for $10USD or name-your-own-price when it's out on May 23, 2023 at Bandcamp. Even if you aren't interested in downloading the album it's a great way to support the synth patches that I made and having them available for download.
Also be sure to check out the sweet hand-crafted Eurorack modules in my Reverb Store!
***NEW*** Hydrasynth Patch Set 01
Zip file containing 50 original presets in *.hydra file format.
Use Hydrasynth Manager to upload the presets to your Hydrasynth.
Be sure to backup your own presets safely first!
Roland Jupiter-6 Cassette Dump
These patches live as an MP3-format audio file. Jupiter-6 MIDI can only understand note on/off and patch change, absolutely minimal sysex data - especially no sysex patch support. So you will need to play the audio file into your cassette load jack using the cassette load protocol. Refer to the Jupiter-6 owners manual for details.
Yamaha TX81Z Patches Bank #2
Behringer Model D Patches 001-010
These patches are JPG-format images. These old school type synthesizers don't have a way to save/recall patches, you will need to program your synthesizer parameters as you see in the images.
Matrix-12 RandomPatches
This is the bank of completely random patches from my video 'Matrix-12 Pure Noise Chaos Demo #8'. Before uploading these to your synth be sure to back up your own sounds first!

Sorry I lost connectivity in dropbox and had to re-link them, again. Try it now and let me know if any more issues arise. -g
Hey,
I also have an Andromeda. I would love to try these patches but I've tried to push patches onto my memory card before and it caused the card to freeze my entire machine. Had to format my card and lost all my personal custom patches. Was a bad day.
I wouldn't mind getting a additional (obviously rare) card to just experiment with Sysex-ing stuff across. How do you upload patches?
We should chat. Email me at foxinni at gmail. I got some ideas we need to chat about regarding our passions.
M
will try the andromeda and matrix patches tomorrow. looks cool.
next up I'll go ahead and ask if you have any cool korg ex8000 patches around since I've seen you demo a dw8000 on youtube.
I had a dw8000, sold it, and eventually decided I wanted that sound back for a variety of reasons so I picked up the ex8000. just trying to get a jump start on hearing it sound good for the kind of music I (we) like.
G Storm Electronica,
I just purchased an Oberheim Matrix 6, and I would love to download your great sounding patches. The only problem is I do not know how to back up my preset patches. I use an Mac computer and SysEx Librarian. When I press record on the computer then go to Master then 11 to "Send All" I press >> (this should be interpreted as Yes, right?) but nothing happens. Do you have any suggestions before I download your patches? Also I have a midi cable connection to midi out and a 1/4 cable to audio out to my audio interface. I really enjoy you music and your epic patches!
Thanks
Make sure system exclusive is enabled on the Matrix-6. After selecting '11 Send All" you'll need to press the 'value' soft button under the display. When it says 'ready' then press the 'yes' button. Confirm the bank was sent properly by re-writing a patch name with one character of the name changed, then transmit the data from the computer back to the matrix-6. Note that re-loading the bank will not overwrite the current patch, which is just a temporary edit location....so select the next patch and then go back to it and it will show whatever was written to patch memory. Hope this helps. -g
Thanks for posting these patches G-storm this is fantastic, if I only get the patches into my 6R. I'm having trouble transfering with midi-ox. The Matrix is recieving the MIDI, but no changes in patches.
Running MIDI-OX from win7 64bit. RME UFX soundcard midi out into Matrix 6r.
Master Edit:
01 Omni mode : ON
02 Controller : ON
03 Patches : ON
04 Systemx : ON
This should be it, right? Maybe I need to edit settings in Midi OX or should default MIDI OX settings be OK?
I'll be greatful for any help!
Thanks
Forgot to mention that software version is 2.13. And transfering Sysex from the Matrix apparently works fine.
G Storm Electronica,
Thanks for your help, I was able to download the backup of the patches. Now I am unable to send them to the Matrix 6. Do you know the procedure to receive SysEx (should I use the Cassette tape input)?
Cheers
Oh …found the link…Thanks to share your amazing work!
Cheers
Thanks a million for these!
G storm,
I am still having troubles with sending patches to my Matrix 6. I have searched the internet but have found no solution. I am using a may with SysEx librarian, and an audio midi interface. I do not have a cassette player, I am able to backup patches but I am not able to transmit them. Do I need to have any menus open on the Matrix.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Best,
GDStudios
Confirm midi channel matches, and sysex is turned on in the master edit settings. Also, patches uploaded to the Matrix-6 will not reveal themselves until another patch is selected.
Hello,
I can't unzip the Venom Patches file once I download it, it says "the archive is either an unknown format or damaged" - any help? thanks
the matrix-6 patches are so amazing. I have spent a lot of time with the matrix and I'm still getting so much from these. Thank you so much for sharing.
Hey! How I can install the venom patch? Im new in the venom synth. Grettings from chile.
Do you have more sounds to the venom?
You will need the software that came with the synth on CD. If not you may be able to download it. From there you will be able to not only manage your own sounds, and import the sounds from the interent, but also have access to deeper editing capabilities within the Venom.
Maybe in the near future, but not yet as of now. Working on new album and many other great projects at the moment.
My mac will not open the patches and it is saying it cannot read or open the files.
Is there a program for this thanks so much. Your sounds are rad!!!
Having trouble loading the jx8p patches with midiox. what program do you recommend?
Which plugout was installed for the System-1 plugout patches?
Many thanks for the Sub37 & A6PatchesG-Storm_01-27-2013. Will you be adding 'Andromeda Analog Synthesizer Ecstasy' patches soon?
You're welcome :) I will post new A6 patches when my A6 modular mayhem demo is done. Getting a Korg 770 ready for a synth meet is taking priority right now.
I'm not sure. Either SH-101 or SH-2 if that helps.
It should work if the midi port is present and active. Just make sure the buffer size matches the patch size and maybe add some delay between buffers. Sorry it took so long getting back, I just resolved an issue with my reply feature.
look forward to that one too! cheers :)
Thank you for making these available
Awesome, thanks again!
The TX81Z patches are AMAZING, thank you so much!
Hello G-Storm, I am trying to install the JX-8P patches via a mac. I can download your patches to the computer but my computer isn't detecting the JX-8P to load them unto it.
Any suggestions?
I can't afford a real Matrix 12, so I got an Arturia copy of this awesome synth. I don't know if you could port this sounds to the Arturia's version of this synth. I saw your youtube videos and the stuff sounds pretty sick! It reminds me a lot of one of my favorite musical group: Telefon Tel Aviv. Anyways, thanks! :D
Hi the links are broken
Tanx for the effort !
Hiya!
Loved your demo of the System-1 so much that I decided to buy one.
The patches don't seem to want to load through the librarian software.
I was wondering if you could give me some pointers on reconstructing the last sound from your awesome video?
@Brendan I have a few videos, I'm not sure which one. The system-1 patch load process is straightforward, just download the drivers from Roland. Follow the instructions to sync the System-1 w/ computer, and drag-and-drop the necessary files to the system-1 folder. http://forums.rolandclan.com is an excellent resource to help suss out specific issues. Thanks! -g
Thanks for the info!
Sorry the video I was referring to was the 5 Mins W/ System-1.
Sorry for the n00b questions, synths are all new to me. :)
Thank you, G-STORM, for the A6 patches. They are helping me get over my brain-block/learning curve of the Andy. Wondering, however, would you be kind enough to share a few patches that are not available in the two sets but are heard in the Synthesizer Intensity video? They are the following patches: Analog Retro, LFO Sweepmatic, Pearlite, MotionControl, Complicated, Hall Strings, Watery Tart, and Steller Portions. All of them sound fantastic but will also help me with programming and routing. Thank you.
Hello Sir G-Storm,
Your Roland JX-8P patches are awesome! Do You have plans to publish more patches for JX-8P? That would be very much appreciated! Thank You very much! =)
Best, Proteus M
I tried to load the Moog patches in my Sub 37, but they don't load
Thank you very much for the TX81Z patches!
It could be possible to download the awesome drum sound set form the
"Yamaha TX81Z FM Synthesizer Demo #3 Alpha Wave" video as well?
cristian
Would you share your Ensoniq VFX patches from your youtube demo please!!!!
Plz can you restore the Venom patch set ? TIA !!
Thanks a lot for sharing your TX81z patches !!! They are really inspiring and sound beautiful.
You rock !!!
;)
Thank you for supplying these lovely patches for free :-)
I have a question though about reading the Behringer Model D patches. When a control is just white, I figured it means that it doesn't really matter how it is set, But in some patches it matters a great deal?
For instance in the "Massive" patch the finter must be on Lo, otherwise it gets funny.
Is there a convention what to do when a control is left blank?
regards
Lars Birkmose, Denmark
Thanks man.
Positive vibes back atcha ++++
x75 captchas later...I'm NOT a robot..am I??
Still happy...free patches
Adds more txt...more captchas!!
Thank you! I came to your site after hearing of your work with the TX81z but I own many of the synths you have created patches for, even a Venom.
