SysEx Read

For a SysEx restore of all 99 presets from a MIDI sequencer, turn the freq knob (be-

low the word read in the alphanumeric display) in either direction to prepare the z-
Qualizer to receive SysEx data. Start your sequencer playing the sysex dump. While 

the dump is proceeding, the word read will change to a numerical countdown from 

99  to  1  to  indicate  the  memories  which  are  being  restored.  This  takes  only  a  few 
seconds. When the SysEx restore is complete, the word read re-appears in the alpha-

numeric display.

SysEx Dump

For  a  sysex  dump of  all  99  presets  to  a  MIDI  sequencer,  first  start  your  MIDI  se-

quencer recording. Then rotate the Q knob to start the dump. During the dump, the 

word dump will blink and the sequencer should indicate that it is receiving MIDI data. 
After all 99 memories have been sent to the sequencer, the display returns to dump.

MIDI Program Change

Connect the output of a MIDI sequencer to the MIDI in jack. Any time the z-Qualizer 
sees  a  program  change  whose  value  is  from  00  through  99,  it  will  load  the  corre-

sponding memory. In the preset load mode the memory number  will change to the 

one  sent  by  the  MIDI  program  change  command.  Any  other  screen  will  display  the 
results of the program change.
