bipluk: The iCloud for Vintage Synthesizers
I built a browser-native SysEx librarian for 80s/90s synthesizers
bipluk is a browser-native SysEx librarian that backs up, organizes, and restores patches for over 80 vintage synthesizers directly from Chrome or Edge—no drivers, no desktop apps. Using the Web MIDI API, it reads patch names from RAM, stores them in a private cloud vault, and offers one-click recall. A lifetime license costs $49, a fraction of traditional desktop librarians.
Synthesizers are built to last forever. Internal RAM batteries aren't.

So have many other people. What makes yours special? The vibecoding? The sloppy marketing site is really off-putting.
I'd honestly be curious what those “83+ vintage & modern synths” are but you don't even provide a list…
Also, what the hell is a “Hex-to-ASCII Parser”…

Neat. That's really fancy.
I built something similar to manage sysex messages and patch libraries for my digitech guitar modeling workstation with webmidi: https://v0.app/templates/digitech-gnx3000-sysex-tool-GC5LzXA...
My favorite part of this so far has been spanning a range of parameters in seconds that would have taken a much longer time with gdigi and a completely unrealistic amount of time with the built-in knobs.
I own that FPGA now in a way I didn't before.

It listed my LXR-02 (connected over usb/web midi) as "Supported" after I connected it, but it did not appear in the list of synths under "backup my synth", nor did "capture soundbank" do anything.
Speaking of the LXR-02, I just just finished this MIDI/patch editor: https://lxr02.greg.technology/ (free of course) - source code link in the footer
