Bank Dump

The Bank Dump feature lets you copy all the presets in a User bank from one PCM96 Surround to another (or to another MIDI device). Refer to the MIDI Control section on page 24 for information about Bank Dump.

Reverse Bank Dump (Bank “Load”)

You can perform a “reverse bank dump” by recording a bank dump to your MIDI sequencer, then playing that sysex back to the PCM96 Surround to restore the bank.

Continuous Controllers

All PCM96 Surround soft row parameters can be controlled with single,

7-bit controllers. Each parameter is controlled with the full controller range, regardless of the parameter range. For example, if the controller is at the midpoint of its range (64), the parameter will also be at the midpoint of its range no matter what the actual number.

Continuous Controllers range from 0 to 127. If the parameter range is less than 127, then a small controller change might not result in a parameter update. But the entire range of the parameter can still be accurately con- trolled. In addition, if the actual range of the parameter is greater than 127, MIDI control might be somewhat coarse. This is most noticeable with large delays.

When MIDI is enabled, the PCM96 Surround automatically sends MIDI messages through the MIDI Out port for soft row parameters and preset
