Save all patches and presets to MIDI?
Europa stores patches/presets as a series of individual MIDI system exclusive messages. It is a requirement that the recording device (dedicated sequencer or computer running a sequencer package) is capable of receiving and recording system exclusive messages! If unsure, consult the documentation that came with the recording device.
Follow these steps for a successful save (and future load) of all patches/presets:
•Set up the recording device (called a ‘sequencer’ from here forward) to record. Be sure system exclusive messages are not filtered out. Many sequencers filter out system exclusive messages by default. This is dependent on the sequencer itself – consult the sequencer’s manual for specific information on how to verify that it is enabled
•Make sure that the Jupiter 6’s MIDI OUT is connected to the input (or one of the inputs) to the sequencer
•Start recording on the sequencer
•Press and hold TAPE
•Press 7. This will dump all patches/presets to MIDI
•Release any held buttons. The dump process takes about 6 seconds. The TAPE LED will go out when the dump is complete
•Stop recording on the sequencer
The sequencer should have recorded about 6 seconds of system exclusive messages.
It is important that the timing of the system exclusive dump is kept. Europa places a 70 millisecond delay between each patch and preset, which is required for a successful restoration. Europa writes all patches/presets to flash, and during this write, Europa is not executing code and will lose incoming MIDI data.
