SysEx Channel and MIDI Merge

An easy way to think of the System Exclusive Device Channel option is to separate System Exclusive data from normal MIDI data. Each type of data has its own group of 16 channels upon which data can be transmitted. This feature will also allow individual remote control of more than one RP21D with SysEx commands.

From the Factory and in most situations, the SysEx channel is set at Channel 1.

Normal MIDI data, like Program Changes, MIDI Volume, Modulation, etc. is transmitted and received on the MIDI channel designated by the setting of MIDI RECEIVE CHANNEL. SysEx data, on the other hand, is transmitted and received on the SysEx channel designated by the setting of SYSEX DEVICE CHANNEL.

This setup frees up your regular MIDI channels for other control options, and gives you the flexibility to request SysEx data from only the devices you want in your setup, whether they share the same MIDI channel or not.

MIDI Merging allows incoming MIDI data to be Merged with any MIDI data generated by your RP21D before being sent to the MIDI Out/Thru port.

To change the SysEx Device Channel number, or turn the MIDI Merge function on or off, do the following:

1. Press the Utility button once. Use the Next or Previous Page buttons until yo reach page 6. The display reads:

SysEx Dump

Bulk Dump: This option allows you to dump all resident Programs in memory to an external recording device, like a patch librarian, computer, or sequencer for backup, storage, or organization. This option dumps all Programs simultaneously. It does not send any RP21D Valve system information, such as SysEx Device channel or Programs maps.

System Dump: This is the option to use for dumping system data to an external MIDI or SysEx recording device. All the item settings in the Utility menu are sent using this option. Programs are not included in this dump.
