Patch files are actually the same, except SysEx MIDI Product ID byte, which I am swapping with this converter:</p>
<p><img src="/assets/images/circuit-patches.jpeg" alt="Patch files diff" /></p>
<p>Patch Packs from the original Circuit will be unpacked as a separate patch files, because there is no way of loading such files into the Novation Components for the Circuit Tracks.</p>
<p>All files remain on your PC, converter works locally in your browser. There is no server-side code at all.</p>
<p>As usual, all code is available on GitHub, feel free to use, fork:
