The Dump Function
Like any other advanced MIDI device, the MIDI BAY
offers the possibility of transmitting your program data
as a so-called
Sys Ex Dump
via MIDI, of course, Sys Ex
data may also be received.
On the one hand, this means that you can also program
the MIDI BAY via an external
editor.
On the other hand, this means that individual programs
or the entire memory contents can be exchanged
between two MIDI BAYs or one MIDI BAY and a
computer. Thus, you can, for instance, store the
required MIDI BAY configuration as part of a sequencer
song.
There are two ways to transmit Sys Ex dumps: either...
•
another MIDI device sends a so-called request
instruction which requests the required data.
Normally, this device is a computer with the
corresponding software - for example,
STEINBERG'S
Satellite
which is included in the
CUBASE sequencer and is well suited for this job.
Or...
•
you trigger the data dump on the MIDI BAY yourself.
Proceed as follows:
●
depress the [Mode] key five times to activate the
DUMP mode.
●
with the [Down] key, you can determine whether the
MIDI BAY is to send the data of all programs (display
reads <Ad> meaning "All Dump") or the data of the
qurrently activated program (display reads
<Pd> meaning "Patch Dump").
●
depress the [Up] key and the Sys Ex data will be sent
via all [Destination] connectors.
