Sysex Storage - Alesis 2 Reference Manual

SysEx Storage

To send and receive program information via SysEx dumps using a computer, or some
other SysEx storage device (such as the Alesis DataDisk), or another QuadraVerb 2:
¿
Connect the other device's MIDI OUT to the QuadraVerb 2's [MIDI IN].
¡
Connect the QuadraVerb 2's [MIDI OUT] to the other device's MIDI IN.
This provides two-way communication between the devices.
¬
Press [MIDI].
The [MIDI] LED will light.
÷
Press [< PAGE] to select MIDI Page 6.
The display will read:
SEND MIDI PROGRAM: 00 TO 00
ƒ
Use the [VALUE/ENTER] knob to select a User Program from 00-99, or the
current Program being used (EDIT), or ALL User Programs.
To send all User Programs, turn the [VALUE/ENTER] knob all the way to the right
to select "ALL".
Optionally, when sending a single Program to another QuadraVerb 2, you can
choose to send it to a different location. When you select a Program to be sent, the
second field (which represents the destination location) is linked and moves along
with it. To select a different location number to send this Program to:
ª
Press [PAGE >] and use the [VALUE/ENTER] knob to select a destination
location (00–99 or EDIT).
If you chose to send "ALL" User Programs, the second field will disappear.
D
Set the receiving MIDI device to receive or record the MIDI information about to be
sent from the QuadraVerb 2.
«
Press the [VALUE/ENTER] button to transmit.
If sending "ALL" User Programs, during the dump the display will read:
MIDI PROGRAM DUMP IN
If sending a single Program, the display will not change when the
[VALUE/ENTER] button is pressed, since this effectively takes no time at all.
»
When you send a SysEx dump back to the QuadraVerb 2, it will automatically go
into receive mode (you do not have to do anything special). When this occurs,
the display will momentarily read:
RECEIVING MIDI DATA...
If you don't want the Q2 to receive SysEx dumps, go to MIDI Page 5, and set System
Exclusive Receive to OFF.
