Hello, I'm a happy new owner of a reface cs which I find is a great little synth and a very inspiring instrument.
I wonder if there's anyway to manage the patches without being connected on the web. An offline version of Soundmondo ? A dedicated hardware to send sysex messages ? I would prefer to avoid smartphones or laptop based solution.
It's for live use, so it need to be quite reliable.
Any tips from your experiences or any ideas ?
Thks in advance.

It would be a laptop based solution, but https://ctrlr.org/69236/ combined with http://soundmondo.martintarenskeen.nl/ would be one option.
I've never used those panels personally, so I can't attest to how reliable they are.

Thanks a lot for the links. Interesting. I'm also exploring a way with a midi controller which could send midi sysex. It could be a quite simple one. I only need it to change from one patch to another.

I don't think it's simple because, IIRC, there are no patches in a CS, no patch memory. So the way you change a patch in a CS is to change every parameter. Which means it wouldn't be a single command, it's a whole bunch of commands... every filter setting, every envelope setting, etc.

Please see the following article, in particular the paragraph entitled: “Capturing the reface CP/CS/DX/YC Settings”
This steps you through sending a Bulk Request command to the reface, it will return the current settings in a bulk dump (sysex) which you can capture in your sequencer. If you setup up to send the bulk and capture via *overdub record* you can document your reface CS’s settings.

F0 43 20 7F 1C 03 0E 0F 00 F7 is the message that will cause the reface CS to bulk dump its current setting...
