10 - MIDI—MIDI data dumps
10–2
ing between the units, data merging is turned
off here.
10.2MIDI data dumps
As well as the library entries, as described in the
Library section, it is also possible to save and restore
the following parameters:
• Program Change Tables (see 10.3, “Program
Change commands” below)
• Setup Data (the preferences settings, etc.)
• All data (including library settings, etc.)
The automation communication speed should be set
to
MIDI
(use the
AUTOMATION SET UP
key—
shifted
DIGITAL I/O
to edit the automation setup
screen) for MIDI bulk transmission and reception. If
it is not set when the MIDI bulk dump screen is
started, a popup message appears to remind you.
The method for saving and restoring this data is the
same as for library entries.
1
Use the cursor and
ENTER
keys to select the
checkboxes corresponding to the data set to
be backed up or restored.
2
To dump the data, make any preparations on
the receiving device so that the bulk dump
data can be received successfully.
3
Move the cursor to the
BULK DUMP
but-
ton, and press
ENTER
to start the bulk dump.
10.2.1Receiving bulk data
1
Start the bulk transmission on the MIDI data
ling de vice.
2
The bulk data is automatically received by
the TM-D4000.
10.2.2Transferring data between two TM-
D4000 units
1
Connect the two units so that the
MIDI OUT
of each unit one is connected to the
MIDI IN
of
the other.
2
The automation communication speed of the
receiving unit should be set to
MIDI
(use
the
AUTOMATION SET UP
key—shifted
DIGITAL I/O
to edit the automation setup
screen).
NOTE
It is strongly advised that the TM-D4000 con-
trols are not moved during a dump process,
either in or out), as this may affect the suc-
cessful trasnmission of data. Also note that
after a dump transmission, if the faders have
accidentally been moved during the transmis-
sion, they will return to their original (pre-
dump) position as soon as the dump is
ended.
10.3Program Change commands
The TM-D4000 can hold four different tables of Pro-
gram Changes, only one of which may be active at a
time.
These tables are “mappings” of Program Change
numbers to snapshot numbers, meaning that a partic-
ular Program Change number is used to change to a
particular snapshot memory setting. Because the Pro-
gram Change number does not necessarily corre-
spond to the snapshot number, it is possible for the
TM-D4000 to share a MIDI channel with another
MIDI device which is also to change programs
together with the TM-D4000 (e.g. a MIDI-controlled
external effect unit).
These Program Change messages can be sent at the
beginning of a sequence, or part of the way through,
to synchronize the settings with the input material.
Alternatively, a MIDI controller can be used to trans-
mit the Program Change messages “off-line”.
3
Start the bulk transmission on the first
TM-D4000.
4
The bulk data is automatically received by
the second TM-D4000.
