Sending One Setup or All Setups via Sys-Ex
The second page of Store mode contains features related to storing one
Setup or all 32 Setups on an external device via MIDI, such as a
computer with a librarian program, a MIDI data filer, or even another
Ion.
S ending a single Setup
The first thing to do is press the [store setup] button to the right of the
[part enable] buttons, if you're not already in Store Setup mode. Next,
use the [page
] button to navigate to page 2. You'll see a page that
looks like this:
The "from" location over Soft button 1 should be the same as the
number of the Setup you were editing. The "to" location must be
selected carefully. When you press the [store setup] button the second
time, a little marker is placed in the Setup data that tells the Ion to put
the Setup in the "to" location when it is sent back via MIDI. This is
fine if you're expecting it, but if you aren't it can be difficult to find the
Setup that was sent over. You may not remember what the original
location of the Setup was when you sent it out. There's a solution to this
dilemma, and that information is covered in the section called "Special
Cases" on the previous page.
Be sure the Setup number in the "from" category is the one you want to
send out. If it isn't, use the data knob to select the proper Setup. Then
use Soft button 2 to select the "destination" to which your MIDI device
will send the Setup when it is retransmitted.
Once you have selected the source ("from") and the destination ("to"),
press the [store setup] button a second time. The sys-ex data for that
Setup will be sent out the Ion's MIDI jack.
S ending all Setups
The process for sending all of the Setups over MIDI is much the same as
sending out a single Setup. From page 2 of Store mode, use the data
knob to change the "from" value until it reaches Setup 31. Then turn the
data knob one more value clockwise to the "all" option. Press [store] a
second time and the Bank will be sent out the Ion's MIDI jack.
Parts and Setups
Be sure to read the previous section,
"Special Cases," for an explanation of the
"edit" option found on the "Send Setup to
MIDI" page.
