Exporting Tones

www.kiwitechnics.com
There are several methods
importing tones.
Kiwi-8P sysex dumps. These can
be a single tone or a group of 64
tones.
A Single Tone will be loaded into the
edit buffer and it can then be saved
to any memory position by pressing
WRITE followed by
location. The actual write to memory
is done when the Tone button is
pressed so this should be pressed
last if you are changing Groups or
Banks. If the currently selected
Group or Bank is unchanged then
you can skip pressing these.
A Group Dump will be loaded and
saved into the currently selected
Group overwriting anything in that
group. These will save into the
location specified in the dump but in
the current group.
A JX-8P sysex dump. There are two
parts to these. The tone dump part
will load into the edit buffer and the
optional Sysex Save Command will
store the Tone into the memory
location in the Save Command in the
currently selected Group. If the Save
Command is not present the Dump
will only be put into the Edit Buffer
and will be lost if it is not saved to
memory before a new Tone is
selected or the synth is powered off.
Note - The Write Protect on the
rear of the 8P must be in the 'OFF'
position for a restore to memory to
work.
Exporting of Tones is done using
sysex Dumps. To do this press
SYSEX DUMP followed by the dump
type you require using the yellow
Seq buttons followed by the WRITE
button. The dump will not start until
the WRITE button is pressed.
for MKS-70/JX-10 Sysex Dump. These
come in two parts. The Patch section
is ignored and the Tone section will
be saved into the currently Selected
Group at the location specified in the
Roland Dump. This is typically 1:1 to
7:2. The
normally have all the Patches first in
the file and as these are ignored
nothing may appear to be happening
the G/B/T until the Tones start sending.
Cart / RAM Import. The inserted
CART and internal RAM can be
imported into the currently selected
Group starting at 1:1 by selecting the
Edit Parameter 6:3:7 which is then
followed by the WRITE button.
This will import the 32 tones that are
in the
selected Group starting at 1:1 and
finishing at 4:8. This is followed by the
32 tones that are stored in the internal
8P RAM. These will be saved into
memory locations 5:1 to 8:8
Note – Imported tones may need some
editing to work correctly.
The following will not be 100% correct
when importing tones. This is manly
due to expanded ranges on some
parameters.
In some Tones the DCO tuning may be
out by a small amount on one or both
DCOs
Tones that rely on DCO Tuning using
the Env Level parameter will need
retuning
The LFO rate & delay times
Env A/D/R times
VCA Level
The DUMP ALL TONES has been
changed to DUMP CURRENT GROUP
in release 1.4 and higher. Dumping a
single group of 64 tones is better for
transferring Groups and the file size is
more manageble.
