Downloading Profiles
How do I download profiles from the web and load them in?
We are continually adding to the hundreds of profiles already on our website.
These profiles are available for download free from our website
www.kentonuk.com/download.
From the download page of the website, click on the Freak Live & Studio
Edition profiles link. This will bring up a File Download window. Click on ‘Save’
to store the zip file on your hard drive.
Once you have downloaded the zip file you will need to extract it using Winzip or
a similar application. The profiles are saved as MIDI (.mid) files, grouped by
manufacturer. They can be loaded into Spin Doctor using any suitable Windows,
Atari, Macintosh or Linux sequencer application or indeed any MIDI file format
compatible hardware capable of sending SysEx data. Please ensure that you
set the tempo in your sequencer relatively low, and turn off any MIDI processing
or quantisation on the track to avoid data transfer errors. You should also turn
off any SysEx filters.
Connect the MIDI OUT of your sequencer to the MIDI IN of Spin Doctor. This is
the only MIDI connection required for loading profiles. Don’t forget that Spin
Doctor needs to be in
MAP mode to specify which program location the profiles
will load into (see page 13 for details).
Open the MIDI file for the profile you wish to load inside your sequencer. Profiles
must be loaded one at a time, so always start with an empty song otherwise you
may end up with two or more files loaded.
Press the PLAY button on your sequencer, and the profile will load into Spin
Doctor. It’s as simple as that! J
Note: Spin Doctor is not compatible with the Freak Original profiles.
