Utility Mode - Zoom 9120 Operation Manual

Utility Mode
[Page 3 1 MlDl Bulk Dump
The Utility mode contains miscellaneous global fealures
of the 9120, such
as
setting of the MIDI channel and
control number, bulk dump operations, and initializing of
parameter data.
Press the UTILITY key to enter the Utility mode, then
use the PAGE (Page >) and COMPARE (Page <) keys to
select the display pages. (The UTILITY key also
functions as the page > key in this mode.) A "U" appears
in reverse display and flashes at the top left of the LCD,
indicating that the Utility mode has been selected.
Note: The Delay Time Calculator and User Scale
utilities also have the flushing "U" indication;
however, these can only be selected from their
related efects and not from the Utility mode.
To exit from the Utility mode at any time, press the
CANCEL key.

This determines the channel over which the 9120
receives MIDI data. Change this with Data Entry control
3. The "ALL" setting corresponds to Omni, which
allows the 9120 to receive data over all MIDI channels
simultaneously.

Some of the parameters of the 9120 can be controlled
over MIDI by various control change numbers
(depending on the MIDI controller used). This function
determines the control change number that the 9120 will
respond to. Change the setting with Data Entry control
3. Refer also to the owner's manual of your MIDI device
for information on control change numbers and their
corresponding controllers.
Settings: PrG (Single program), ALL (All programs)
This function transmits either a single effect program
all effect programs via MIDI to a MIDI data storage
device, such as a sequencer. Select "PrG" (single
program) or "ALL" (all programs) with Data Entry
control 3, then press the STORE (EXECUTE) key to
actually transmit the data. If you have selected "PrG,"
the current active program data will be sent. Refer also
to the owner's manual of your MIDI device for
information on receiving bulk data with that device.

Loading MlDl Bulk Data
This function allows you to receive bulk data from a
MIDI data storage device or another 9120. When this
page is selected, the 9120 automatically waits for data to
be received - no keys need be pressed. Once you set the
connected MIDI device to transmit, the program data is
automatically loaded.
[Page 51 Factory Preset Program Recall
The 9120 has a secondary memory system (ROM) for
backup of the 99 factory preset programs. This preset
program call function lets you restore individual factory
preset programs you may have previously erased to
accommodate your own program. Use the ProgramV
keys to select the desired program number, then press the
STORE (EXECUTE) key to call up the Program Store
menu. Press STORE again to execute the operation, or
CANCEL to abort. Make sure that you can erase the
program at the selected number; that data will be
irretrievably lost if it has not been saved beforehand.
