Global Functions
The SEND ALL DATA TO MIDI Command
This Command will transmit the complete contents of the DM Pro User Bank out of
the [MIDI OUT] on the DM Pro. This Command is essential for use with data storage
devices that do not send a dump request message, or to copy the User Bank from one
DM Pro into the User bank of another DM Pro.
To execute this Command, make sure that the receiving device is ready to receive a
bulk dump, and then press [STORE] to initiate the transfer.
The TRANSMIT DRUM TO MIDI Command
Like the Send All Data to MIDI Command, this Command allows you to send the
Parameter Values of the selected Drum out of the [MIDI OUT] on the DM Pro to an
external data storage device or a second DM Pro.
You can transmit the current Drum or any other Drum in the DM Pro User Bank. To
transmit the current Drum, set the source Value to match the MIDI Note of the Drum
that have selected. For example, if you have selected the Drum assigned to MIDI
Note 60, set the source accordingly:
MIDI DRUM Ed60 TO
DRM Ed60? (STR)
This setting will cause the Drum currently assigned to MIDI Note 60 to be sent via
MIDI to a location of MIDI Note 60 in the receiving unit. You can also set the
destination to a note other than that of the source unit, thereby rearranging the
Drumkit as you desire:
MIDI DRUM Ed60 TO
DRM Ed10? (STR)
If the source or destination Values are preceded by
or received from, the current "edit buffer" of a Drumkit and not the stored Drumkit.
The edit buffer is the area of memory that holds the currently edited Values. The DM
Pro has 64 Drum edit buffers, meaning that it can hold edited Values for up to 64
Drums simultaneously. Note that the Drum edit buffers are cleared when a new
Drumkit is loaded, erasing all edited Values.
If the source or destination Values are NOT preceded by
sent to, or received from, a
setting carefully as initiating the Command will overwrite the current occupant of
the destination memory location.
The TRANSMIT DRUMKIT TO MIDI Command
Like the Transmit Drum to MIDI Command, this Command transmits an entire
Drumkit via MIDI to an external source or second DM Pro. You may select your
source and destination from any of the 64 User Drumkits as well as the Drumkit edit
buffer:
