I have the LE model. I actually really like the SRV, May Day, AC30T, Finepitch & Strings patches. I play in a church setting more often than not. I really use the SRV setting and the AC30T for the base sound of the unit. I then of course add my own little tweaks to them such as tap tempo 1/4 delays or 3/4. I also use the ModDelay as my modulation more often than any of the other modulations.

But for the grace of GOD!

how do I convert these patches to se patches?

you can also get it from here ....

To use the converter, download the TonelabConverter.exe and the 2 XML files and put them in a directory on your PC.
Doubleclick Tonelabconverter.exe and allow Windows to run it when it asks.

You will see 2 windows - a blue one (TLSE), and a grey one (TLLE). You can open TLP files in the blue TLSE area, and you can open TLLP files in the grey TLLE area. The converter can convert in both directions (TLLE to TLSE, and TLSE to TLLE).

Step by Step instructions to convert a TLSE patch to TLLE:
1) start the converter by doubleclicking Tonelabconverter.exe
2) In the blue TLSE windows, click "File", "Open".
3) in the file selection window, traverse to the directory where the TLP file is located, and doubleclick the TLP file you want to load.
4) The patches in the TLP file are displayed. Use the mouse or the up/down arrow keys to walk through the list of patches. All the detailed settings of the currently selected patch are displayed in the lower area of the blue window.
5) To convert the currently selected patch, click "Convert", "Convert to LE" in the blue TLSE window. Now you will see the patch in the grey TLLE window as well.
6) repeat the steps to convert more patches if you want. When you converted all patches you need,
7) in the grey TLLE window, click "File", "Save" (or "save as" ).
8) traverse to the directory where you want to store the converted patches, give the file a name, and save it.
9) Use the TLLE Soundeditor to load the converted patches to your TLLE.
10) you may need to adjust the volume of the converted patch (Channel Volume or - on TLLE only - program volume), as with any patch you download from somewhere - players volume settings are quite different, and the TLSE and TLLE differ as well in this respect.

Converting a TLLP (TLLE) file to TLP (TLSE) is done likewise, just "the other way round" - you start in the grey TLLE window and load a tllp file.

Preferences:
There are some more sophisticated settings available when you click "File", "Preferences" in any of the 2 windows. There you can set the general behaviour of the converter, like defining a TLLE program level for patches converted from TLSE, or how to handle the A/B channels which exist on the TLSE but are not available on the TLLE. The options there are quite self-explanatory when you are aware of the differences between TLSE and TLLE.

Conversion Tables, XML files:
And finally, you can fully control the behaviour of the converter by clicking "Convert","Edit conversion table". This allows you to define (for each model and each parameter) how ot should be "mapped" from TLSE to TLLE and vice versa. Here you define which pedal you want the converter to use instead of the METAL pedal when converting to TLSE (the TLSE does not have this pedal), or which reverb will be used instead of SPRING2 when converting from TLSE to TLLE (the TLLE does not have a reverb called SPRING2), or which value to use for the COMP attack when converting from TLLE to TLSE (the TLLE COMP pedal does not have an attack control). All these details ae stored - in the 2 XML files! So you really dont have to care about XML. We used our "best guess" settings for the converter, so the XML files already contain meaningful settings. You should get results that are immediately usable without any need to modify the conversion tables.

I never seen such a problem when testing the converter, and have no idea what could be the cause without knowing more details.

What do you mean by "the effects are not converted"? If you can load the resulting TLLP file, there MUST be some effect settings there (could be that the effects are all OFF, but the settings should be there in any case). Please explain in more details.

Can you provide a TLP file where you experienced this problem, and the file TonelabConverterSE2LE.xml from the converter's directory on your PC?
I'd like to try whether I can reproduce the problem here.

Here is a link to the SE patch file that I pulled off of this website.

http://www.tonelab.net/node/1524

It is a multiple preset patch that contains several presets.

But for the grace of GOD!

Last night I download the other 2 files and it worked flawlessly. This is a very nice program, it must have taken you some time to get it done. Thanks for making it, now I can download all of the other patches that were previously unavailible to me.

But for the grace of GOD!
