1.Introduction and Overview

This document is designed to aid in the understanding of the A16R’s MIDI System Exclusive (SysEx) implementation. MIDI SysEx support for the A16R product includes messages that allow for uploading and downloading of all sixteen system presets or the current active configuration also referred to in this document as the current preset. Described in this document is the implementation of these features. In order to utilize these features the A16R may be interfaced to any MIDI management device such as a personal computer with MIDI software or stand alone devices such as MIDI SysEx recorders/sequencers.
