PARAMETER CHANGE (GLOBAL “SYEX OUT”)
When you operate ToneLab’s knobs or buttons to edit the value of a parameter, system exclusive such as parameter changes are transmitted.
If you want ToneLab’s parameters to be transmitted to an external device, turn the “SYEX OUT” setting “On.” Normally, you will turn “SYEX OUT” on when using the Sound Editor.
This setting specifies whether ToneLab will transmit parameter changes.
1.Press the GLOBAL button (3.5) to make the button light.
2.Press the 1/PREV or 2/NEXT button (3.3) to make the name display (3.8) read “SYEX OUT.”
3.Specify whether parameter change messages will be transmitted. Use value knob 3 (2.5) or the ▲, ▼ buttons (3.2) to make your choice.
“OFF”: Parameter change messages will not be transmitted.
“On”: Parameter change messages will be transmitted.
NOTE: When ToneLab receives parameter changes or other system exclusive messages, its parameters, modes, or program numbers will change — regardless of the “SYEX OUT” setting.
BACKING UP AND RESTORING PROGRAM DATA (GLOBAL
“DUMP CUR,” DUMP ALL”)
All of ToneLab’s data (including its programs) can be transmitted and received in the form of system exclusive messages. Exchanging this type of data with an external device via system exclusive messages is known as a “data dump.” By per- forming a data dump, ToneLab programs you created can be backed up (saved) on an external device such as a MIDI data filer or a sequencer that is able to trans- mit and receive system exclusive messages. Then when necessary, you can re- transmit that data back to ToneLab to restore it. This provides a way for you to organize large numbers of programs. You can also use this method to copy pro- gram data between two connected ToneLabs.
You can transfer program data in one of two ways; one program at a time, or all programs at once. When you transmit all programs at once, all of ToneLab’s data will also be transmitted, including Manual Mode settings and MIDI settings.
NOTE: You can transmit data dumps regardless of the “SYEX OUT” setting. In fact, if you want to transfer program data between two ToneLabs, we recommend that
you turn the “SYEX OUT” setting “OFF.” If “SYEX OUT” is “On,” operating the knobs or other controls may change the parameters of the other ToneLab in unintended ways.
