Midi Channel rotary DIP switch, the STORE LED will flash quickly, indicating a valid Midi message has been received.
A preset cannot be saved under the following conditions;
The JP-2C Footswitch is connected to the MESA FT.SW. jack.
On power-up and/or when the amp has not yet received a Midi Program Change Number.
A User Preset Dump was received, whether successful or not, and the amp has not received a subsequent Midi Program
Change Number.
USER PRESET DUMP & LOAD
out through the Midi THRU/OUT jack. This User Preset Dump File includes CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) bytes for error detection.
To dump the presets from one amp, and load them into another, connect its Midi INPUT jack to the Midi THRU/OUT jack of the amp
with the presets to be copied.
The User Preset Dump File can also be saved to a computer, as a backup or to load the presets into another amp. In addition to the
computer, you'll also need a Midi/USB Interface and a Midi app/utility capable of sending and receiving Midi SysEx files (there are
many free ones available, we recommend SysEx Librarian by www.snoize.com for Mac users and for Windows users, Midi-OX via
www.Midiox.com).
A User Preset Dump can be performed after;
The amp is first turned on, and prior to receiving any Midi messages.
The amp has received a User Preset Dump (whether successful or not).
NOTE: The Midi INPUT and MESA FT.SW. jacks, should be left unconnected when performing a User Preset Dump.
To perform a User Preset Dump, connect the Midi THRU/OUT jack to the Midi INPUT jack of another amp or Midi/USB Inter-
face.
Press the STORE SWITCH, the STORE LED will illuminate briefly and the User Preset Dump File will be sent via the Midi
THRU/OUT jack.
The STORE LED will briefly illuminate again after the amp has finished sending the User Preset Dump File - it should only
take a second or two.
A User Preset Load can be performed anytime!
The Midi THRU/OUT and MESA FT.SW. jacks, should be left unconnected when performing a User Preset Load.
To perform a User Preset Load, connect the Midi INPUT jack to the Midi THRU/OUT jack of another amp or the Midi OUT jack
of a Midi/USB Interface.
Send the User Preset Dump File, the STORE LED will illuminate briefly as soon as the amp starts receiving it, via the Midi
INPUT jack.
The STORE LED will briefly illuminate again after the amp has finished receiving the User Preset Dump File - it should only
take a few seconds.
When receiving a User Preset Dump File, it is first saved in the JP-2C's RAM memory, and does NOT overwrite the existing presets
saved in the non-volatile EEPROM memory. The existing presets will ONLY be overwritten after the entire User Preset Dump File
has been completely and successfully received, without errors!
If a User Preset Load fails, the STORE LED will remain illuminated until the amp begins receiving a User Preset Dump File again, or
any other process occurs that turns the STORE LED on and/or off. Any failures could ONLY be due to a corrupted file, and the amp's
built-in CRC error detection will prevent a corrupted file from overwriting existing presets.
A User Preset Dump will send a Midi SysEx (System Exclusive) file with the amp's 256 presets
