Backing up style and motion sequence data
You can backup global data, style data, a single motion sequence, or a block of ten motion sequences to a MIDI filer, sequencer or other MIDI storage device.
1Enter Utility mode.
2Press the EDIT key to select “Backup,” and press the YES/WRITE key.
3Press the EDIT key to select “MIDI exclusive,” and press the YES/WRITE key. Transmit a dump request message from your external device.
If you’re backing up motion sequence data, you’ll also need to specify the number or block. When the kaptivator receives the dump request, it will transmit the backup data.
Restoring style or motion sequence data
You can restore the global data, style data, a single motion sequence, or block of ten motion sequences that you saved as a backup file.
1Enter Utility mode.
2Press the EDIT key to select “Backup,” and press the YES/WRITE key.
3Press the EDIT key to select “MIDI exclusive,” and press the YES/WRITE key. Transmit the backup data from your external device.
NOTE Since the restore operation will sequentially overwrite the data within the kaptivator, halting the restore operation before it has completed will mean that the motion sequence number that was being written at that moment will contain no data (i.e., erased).
Preset Initialize:
At any time, you can always restore the kaptivator to its original factory settings - includ- ing style, clip, and global settings.
NOTE Never turn off the power while initializing.
