E_CTR, and Backup

Using the Encoder as a MIDI Control

The Data Encoder can be used as an extra MIDI Control. It's assignment is not stored as part of a preset so once setup you can use it for
one purpose, anytime. Here is how you activate it.
• Move the [Data Encoder] until you see "E_CTR" in the display and press the [Data Encoder] to select the menu.
• Move the [Data Encoder]. It's now sending out the assigned MIDI message or function as setup in the Global Menu.
• Double press the [Data Encoder] to revert to the top level menu.

Backup Presets

Presets and settings can be backed up and restored at any time. Using this feature it's therefore possible to not only recover data that
could otherwise have been lost but also create a mix of different presets from multiple files. An application capable of recording MIDI
susex data, such as a DAW, is required.
Here are the steps to create backupfiles.
• Move the [Data Encoder] until you see "Dump" in the display and press the [Data Encoder] to select the menu.
• Move the [Data Encoder] and select one of the options in the chart below.
• Launch your DAW and make sure it's setup to record MIDI sysex data. Create a MIDI track and press record.
• Press the [Data Encoder] to send out the sysex data to your DAW. Once completed Pacer will revert to the top level menu.
