ADA MB-1 Patch Editor and/or documentation?

[scatbass]

So I picked up an MB-1 (v2) recently. Old school, I know. Documentation is tough to come by - I've checked out ADA Depot, found a v1 manual and that helped a bit.
They make reference to separate guides for any type of in depth MIDI programming and mapping. Apparently it supports SYSEX, but this is not documented. Is anyone aware of an external windows based editor? This thing appears to have a great array of tonal capability, but would be much more friendly with a graphic type path editor instead of scrolling through "menus" on the unit itself, as well as a way to save and upload patches from a computer. I have a Nightbass and was able to find such an editor for it, wondering if such a thing exists for the MB-1.
Any help or advice appreciated!!

Chirp chirp...guess that's my answer. :-/

One more bump, and I'll take that as a "nope, sorry, no clue..."

I've had a couple of these units and don't ever recall hearing about a software editor or librarian for them. The good news is that once you read the manual and figure out how to get a patch into editing mode they're fairly easy to program using the hardware UI. I suppose the terrible news is you have no way to backup / restore your unit in case of some sort of failure.

I have some ADA MB-1 sounds on my "general" page (in sig below) in case anyone wants to hear some basic tones you can get from these boxes. They can push a pretty wide range of sounds.

I have one, never use it. I like knobs. Sounded good last time it was plugged in years ago. Modded with twin transformers. Not for sale, but not in use. Go figure.

* Sorry forgot to add the real reason I don't use it is that programming is more work than I want to go through. That plus I got a great amp in a Mesa Pulse. Replaced by a Mesa D-180. Replaced by... who knows, hasn't happened yet.

Thanks for the replies. I read through the manual, and it makes reference to a secondary manual that contained info on midi sysex programming, if one was interested. Would have made more sense to just put it in the original manual, me thinks...
I just picked this up recently to play with - sometimes I get the itch to try something different. The thing really does sound great, and can be programmed easily enough in advance through the front panel...I was hoping that in this day and age ~maybe~ someone had written a GUI interface with knobs, etc, to make programming a little more visual and intuitive.
Time to spend a couple evenings programming some banks I suppose...
