(GLO-

All of ToneLab LE’s data (including its programs)
can be transmitted and received in the form of
system exclusive messages. Exchanging this
type of data with an external device via system
exclusive messages is known as a “data dump.”
By performing a data dump, ToneLab LE pro-
grams you created can be backed up (saved) on
an external device such as a MIDI data filer or a
sequencer that is able to transmit and receive
system exclusive messages. Then when neces-
sary, you can re-transmit that data back to
ToneLab LE to restore it. This provides a way for
you to organize large numbers of programs. You
can also use this method to copy program data
between two connected ToneLab LEs.
You can transfer program data in one of two
ways; one program at a time, or all programs at
once. When you transmit all programs at once,
all of ToneLab LE’s data will also be transmitted,
including Dump settings and MIDI settings.

NOTE: You can transmit data dumps regardless of the

“SYEX OUT” setting. In fact, if you want to
transfer program data between two ToneLabs,
we recommend that you turn the “SYEX OUT”
setting “OFF.” If “SYEX OUT” is “On,” operating
the knobs or other controls may change the
parameters of the other ToneLab LE in unin-
tended ways.

ACKING

Connect ToneLab LE’s MIDI OUT to the
MIDI IN of the device that will receive the
data dump.

If you want to transmit only one program,
use Program Select Mode to select the pro-
gram you want to transmit.

Press the GLOBAL button (4.6).

Press the

√

buttons (4.3) to make the

name display (3.1) read “DUMP CUR” or
“DUMP ALL.”

“DUMP CUR” (Dump current program
data): The data of the currently selected
program will be dumped. If you are editing
the program (and have not yet saved it),
the current settings will be transmitted.

“DUMP ALL” (Dump all data): All of the
ToneLab LE’s data will be dumped.

Put the receiving device in a mode in which
it can record the data dump.

NOTE: For details, refer to the owner’s manual of the

device that will receive the data dump.

Press ToneLab LE’s WRITE button (4.7) to
begin transmitting. When transmitting is
completed, the display will indicate “COM-
PLETE,” and you will return to the screen of
step 4. (While “DUMP ALL” is being trans-
mitted, the display will indicate “SEND.”)

NOTE: While data is being transmitted, do not touch

the buttons or knobs of ToneLab LE or its foot
controller, and never turn off the power.

ESTORING

Connect the transmitting device’s MIDI OUT
to ToneLab LE’s MIDI IN.

Set the transmitting MIDI device and
ToneLab LE to the same MIDI channel. If
ToneLab LE will be receiving data that was
previously transmitted to the external MIDI
device, select the same MIDI channel as
was used when transmitting.

Transmit the data dump from the external
device.
While ToneLab LE is receiving all data, its
display will indicate “RECEIVE.” When
reception has been successfully completed,
it will indicate “COMPLETE.” If an error
occurs, the display will indicate “ERROR”; in
this case, try transmitting the data again.

NOTE: For details, refer to the owner’s manual of the

device that will be transmitting the data dump.

NOTE: While data is being transmitted, don’t touch the

ToneLab LE’s buttons, pedal, or knobs, and
never turn off the power.

If you received data for a single program,
select the save-destination bank and pro-
gram, and save the data. (p.26)

NOTE: The program data will not be written into

ToneLab LE’s program memory unless you
store it.

HINT: If ToneLab LE receives all data, all of its data

will be overwritten automatically. However, the
data currently being edited (i.e., the edit buffer)
will not be affected.

“OFF”:

Parameter change messages will not
be transmitted.

“On”:
