you say:


My questions:
1) are there any books or web sites that explain sysex?

surely, i know one but in french...but a simple research in google will point
you..

2) can I store patches?
where? in computer ...? wich electribe have you...?

3) I have a joystick output on my computer what is the name of the
jack I have to get to hook up to my MIDI i/o?

have a look here ( jus an example... you can surely found cheaper..)

4) what other things can I do with sysex?

many things , but not sure it's the friendly way...
you can more simply communicate with your electribe with a midi soft sequencer
(like Cubase )
record your pattern for ex: or control a soft synthé ( vsti )

5) can I arrange patterns on my computer after loading them using
sysex?

same answer...

hope this help...

cheers
