Cyclus 3
Sequencer
Func > Dump – Sysex dump.
Sysex dump of all pattern and song data to/from an
external device (midi-sequencer or pc/mac with
midi-interface and sequencer or sysex-dump
software) for external storage.
How to transmit:
The Cyclus will transmit about 260 kilobyte of data,
so if you want to make the dump to a hardware
sequencer, it would be a good idea to first have a
look in that sequencers manual to check out if it is
possible to dump that amount of sysex-data to it. If
you want to dump to a pc, it will be a good idea to
use a dedicated midi-interface. Many of the sound
card joystick port midi-interfaces are not able to
handle that amount of data in one piece. If you are
using Mac, there should be no problems.
When you are sure that the above mentioned is OK, connect the Cyclus midi-out to the receiving
device midi-in. Make sure that the receiving device will not filter out sysex events.
Put the receiving device in record mode, and start recording. Hit the send button on the Cyclus.
The Cyclus now transmits all its data. It will take about 1 and a half minutes. When finished, the Cyclus
will return to the last edit page.
Now, stop the receiving device, and save the sysex data bank. There is a Windows Tool available
from Spectral Audio to visualize the data graphically (Visual.exe)
How to receive:
Connect the transmitting device midi-out to the Cyclus midi-in.
Load a Cyclus sysex data bank into the transmitting device.
Start the transmitting device.
How to exit without sending a dump:
Hit the quit (track) button.
