MIDI Transfer And Storage Operations
118 QuadraSynth Reference Manual
Saving Programs via MIDI Sys Ex
As an alternative to storing data to a card, the QuadraSynth lets you transmit internal
data via MIDI messages. This data can be sent to a storage device, such as the Alesis
DataDisk, or recorded into a MIDI sequencer, or sent to another QuadraSynth. You
have a choice of sending any single Program in the User bank (00 to 127), or what is in
the current Program Edit buffer, or what is in any of the 16 Mix Edit Program buffers,
or the entire User bank (100 Mixes, 128 Programs, 128 Effects Patches) plus Global data.
In the case of sending data to another QuadraSynth, you can send any individual
Program to the same location or any other location in the receiving QuadraSynth,
including any of its 17 Program Edit buffers.
To send the entire User bank via MIDI:
➀Connect a MIDI cable between the QuadraSynthÕs MIDI Out and the MIDI In of a
device capable of receiving the data (DataDisk, another QuadraSynth, etc.).
➁Press [STORE].
➂Use either PAGE [¬] or [®] to select Page 3 of the Store function.
➃Turn Quad Knob [1] to the right until the upper right display reads ÒSEND_ALL
TO MIDI.Ó
➄Press [STORE] to transmit the data out the MIDI Out connector.
To send a single Program via MIDI:
➀Follow steps ➀ through ➂ in the instructions above.
➁Use Quad Knob [1] to select a Program. You may select any Program in the User
bank (0 to 127) or the Program Edit buffer (EDIT) or any of the 16 Mix Edit
buffers (EDm01 to EDm16).
As this value is changed, the second parameter (destination) will be linked. This is
because most often you will want to transmit a Program to the same Program location.
The only time to do otherwise is when sending to another QuadraSynth (see below).
➂Press [STORE] to transmit the data out the MIDI Out connector.
To send a single Program via MIDI to a different Program number:
➀Follow steps ➀ through ➂ in the instructions above.
➁Use Quad Knob [1] to select a Program. You may select any Program in the User
bank (0 to 127) or the Program Edit buffer (EDIT) or any of the 16 Mix Edit
buffers (EDm01 to EDm16).
As this value is changed, the second parameter (destination) will be linked.
➂Use Quad Knob [2] to select a Program number to send the selected Program to.
If this value is turned all the way up, the ÒSEND ALL TO MIDIÓ option will be selected
and the first value will jump all the way up. At this point you will not be able to adjust
the destination value with Quad Knob [2] until you use Quad Knob [1] to re-select the
Program to be transmitted.
