I'm trying to hack Katsuhiro Chiba's Kat.OpFour Yamahah TX81Z emulation device to work as a controller for an actual TX81Z

It looks like it once worked as a controller for the actual synth , probably while he developed it, then its been crippled.

The device stores preset data in a coll which is triggered from a set menu.

I've reconnected the sysex output from the coll to my synth and I can send data from the coll that gets sent as sysex to my synth - works nicely.

Just saving the state of the patch as a preset to recall later doesn't work, since too many separate sysex messages get sent when it gets loaded and jam up my TX81Z. It needs a nice clean dump from the coll, to the synth.

I would like to be able to edit this coll, fill it with new sounds and then save it with my song or as a preset.

How do I save the edited coll with the device? Can pattrstorage see it somehow?

Coll doesn't work with pattrstorage from memory, you need to be looking at dict

I thought there was some kind of embedding option with Coll.

it doesn't store the coll in a live-set / device, though. in max patches, this works.

use dict. you can f.e. dump the coll into a dict (keeping them in sync) and redump the dict back into the coll on loadbang / via [live.thisdevice]
