Sync Mode______________________________________________________________________________________________12
6. Sync Mode
After powerup the Programmer is 'empty', it has no idea about all the parameter values of the currently selected
Pulse program.
As stated above, there are 2 ways to get Programmer and Pulse in sync:
1. this Mode
2. engage a manual program dump from the Pulse (press SHIFT&DUMP two times)
In Sync-Mode the Programmer gets the values of the current Program by sending a Dump Request to the Pulse.
The Programmer needs to know WHICH Program to request, you have to provide the program number manually.
Set the currently selected Pulse program number with the 1st and 2nd encoder and press
REQ
. That's it.
You leave SYNC Mode by pressing
XIT
.
The third button labeled
DUMP
is used to manually dump a
program from the Programmer to the Pulse. Encoder No. 3
selects what to dump:
•
InitPatch – an initialized patch is dumped to the Pulse
•
Man.Pots – the current position of the Programmer's
pots will be send to the Pulse. For parameters not
mapped to pots (Modulations Sources and
Destinations, Arpeggiator …) values are taken from the
Init Patch.
•
Cur.Patch – the Program currently held in the
Programmer is dumped to the Pulse
The parameter values of the Pulse's current program are overwritten. As long as you do not save, you perfectly
can revert to your original Pulse program.
Note:
A request only makes sense if you request the program number you are currently using and playing. You can as well
request any other program number. The problem is, the displayed original values of the Programmer would not match
the values of the currently selected program of the Pulse.
If you want to revert to your original Pulse program (e.g. Nr. 53) after having changed some parameter values: select
another program on your Pulse (e.g. 54) and change any value. The Pulse will restore the original program (Nr. 53)
because it needs it's edit buffer memory to hold the changes of the last edited program number (Nr. 54). Jump back to
your old program (53) and you will see the 'P' again in front of the number. The program with 'E' (for 'Edited') is the
currently edited program. In out example the Nr. 54 would have the 'E'.
If more than 1 Pulse is set in Preferences (means: the Programer is used with a cascade of multiple Pulses) the function
key 'REQ' will not be available because a manual request is technically not possible. In cascading mode Programmer
and Pulse are synched automatically.
