Transmitting Parameter Settings via MIDI (Bulk Dump)

You can back up data stored in the 01V96i, such as libraries

and Scenes, to an external MIDI device by using MIDI Bulk

Dump. In this way, you can later restore previous 01V96i set-

tings by transmitting this MIDI data back to the 01V96i.

1. Press the DISPLAY ACCESS [DIO/SETUP] but-

ton repeatedly until the DIO/Setup | MIDI/Host page appears, then specify ports for transmission and reception of MIDI mes-sages (see page 101).

2. Make connections using the ports selected in

Step 1 so that the 01V96i can transmit and receive MIDI messages to and from the exter-nal device.

3. Press the DISPLAY ACCESS [MIDI] button,

then press the [F4] button.

The MIDI | Bulk page appears.

The page includes the following parameters:

1CATEGORY section

This section enables you to select data for transmission

and reception.

2REQUEST

Move the cursor to this button, then press [ENTER] to

transmit messages from the 01V96i that request a second

01V96i (connected to the first 01V96i) to transmit the

data specified in the CATEGORY section. This button is

used primarily when two 01V96is are connected in cas-

cade.

3TRANSMIT

Move the cursor to this button, then press [ENTER] to

transmit data specified in the CATEGORY section to an

external MIDI device.

4INTERVAL

This parameter specifies the interval between data pack-

ets during bulk transmission in 50 millisecond steps. If

the external device drops part of the bulk data, increase

this parameter value.

4. In the CATEGORY section, move the cursor to

the button of the data type you want to trans-mit, then press [ENTER].

The following options are available:

•ALL

This button selects all data available for bulk dump. When

this button is turned on, all other buttons in this section

are turned off.

•SCENEMEM

This button selects Scene memories. You can select

Scenes you wish to transmit in the parameter box next to

the button.

•LIBRARY

This button selects libraries. You can select the type of

library in the TYPE parameter box (next to the button),

then specify the library number in the parameter box on

the right.

•BANK

This parameter enables you to select the User Defined

Key banks (KEYS UDEF), User Defined Remote Layer

banks (RMT UDEF), or User Assignable Layer banks

(USR LAYER) for bulk dump. You can select one of these

three types in the parameter box next to the button, and

select the banks in the parameter box on the right.

•SETUPMEM

This button selects the 01V96i setup data (i.e., system set-

tings).

• PGM TABLE

This button selects the MIDI | Pgm Asgn page settings.

• CTL TABLE

This button selects the MIDI | Ctl Asgn page settings.

•PLUG-IN

This button selects the settings of an optional card

installed in the slot.

Note: Some of the data transmitted from the 01V96i to the

sequence software may occasionally drop out during Bulk Dump

transmission. To avoid this, we recommend that you use the Stu-

dio Manager software to store 01V96i data to an external device.

Note: Data selected by the SETUPMEM button includes

MIDI transmission and reception port settings and message

sett in g s. Af te r yo u st or e t o a n ex te r na l de v ic e b u lk du mp d at a

that has its reception disabled, if the 01V96i later starts to

receive this particular data, 01V96i bulk dump reception will

be turned off immediately, and the 01V96i w ill be unable to

receive subsequent data. Therefore, before you store the data

selected by the SETUPMEM button using Bulk Dump, be

sure to enable bulk data transmission and reception.
