Global Functions
Saving and Reloading Setups
89
SysEx (e.g., Setups youÕve saved to another MIDI device) does
not require a special a Global Utility. For your convenience,
however, weÕve included the procedure in this section.
Saving Setups (SysEx Dumps)
Even though ExpressionMateÕs memory is battery-backed, itÕs
still a good idea to regularly save the Setups that you edit and
create. You may also need to free up memory for creating and
storing more Setups.
You can use SysEx (System Exclusive) dumps to save Setups to
an external storage device, such as another ExpressionMate or a
sequencer that can record SysEx messages. You can then recall
the Setups at a later time.
Make sure that ExpressionMateÕs Main MIDI Out is connected to
the storage deviceÕs MIDI In. Also, if dumping from one
ExpressionMate to another ExpressionMate, check that the SysEx
ID is set correctly for both devices (see ÒSYS EX IDÓ on page 82
for details on doing this). Regardless of the device you are
dumping to, however, make note of the ExpressionMateÕs SysEx
ID, because you will need it when you reload the SysEx. The
default SysEx ID is 1.
Each Setup uses a separate SysEx message, so that each message
is as short as possible.
To save Setups as system-exclusive messages, press the Global
button when in Play mode. First youÕll see this screen:
-GLOBAL SELECT-
EDIT UTILITY
Then press
Utility
, followed by
Select
to scroll through the list of
the ExpressionMateÕs utilities. When
Save Setups
is displayed on
the top line, press
Execute
.
You will be presented a screen such as the following:
-SYSEX SAVE SEL-
*Globl, SU XX-YY
The bottom line shows the objects currently selected for saving. If
there is an asterisk (*) beside ÒGloblÓ then the globals have been
selected. Sysex dumps of the globals include all global
parameters and everything else that may be edited with the
global editors including Scales, Rhythms, Setup Lists, the Setup
Map, and MMsg strings.
