Controlling Parameters by Using Parameter Changes

You can control DM1000 parameters in real time by using Parameter Change messages that
are System Exclusive messages, instead of using MIDI Control Changes.
See "MIDI Data Format" at the end of this Manual for detailed information on available
Parameter Changes.
1 Press the DISPLAY ACCESS [SETUP] button repeatedly until the Setup |
MIDI/Host page appears, then specify ports for transmission and reception
of MIDI messages (see page 236).
2 Make connections using the ports selected in Step 1 so that the DM1000 can
transmit and receive MIDI messages to and from the external device.
3 Press the DISPLAY ACCESS [MIDI] button repeatedly until the MIDI | Setup
page appears, then turn off the Tx and Rx ON/OFF buttons in the PARAM-
ETER CHANGE row.
The DM1000 will now set certain parameter values when it receives corresponding Param-
eter Changes. Also, when you adjust certain parameters on the DM1000, it transmits corre-
sponding Parameter Changes.
Note: You do not have to specify MIDI Channels to control parameters using Parameter
Changes. Make sure that both Tx and Rx ON/OFF buttons in the CONTROL CHANGE row
on the MIDI | Setup page are turned off.

Transmitting Parameter Settings via MIDI (Bulk Dump)

You can back up data stored in the DM1000, such as libraries and Scenes, to an external
MIDI device by using MIDI Bulk Dump. In this way, you can later restore previous
DM1000 settings by transmitting this MIDI data back to the DM1000.
1 Press the DISPLAY ACCESS [SETUP] button repeatedly until the Setup |
MIDI/Host page appears, then specify ports for transmission and reception
of MIDI messages (see page 236).
2 Make connections using the ports selected in Step 1 so that the DM1000 can
transmit and receive MIDI messages to and from the external device.
3 Press the DISPLAY ACCESS [MIDI] button, then press the [F4] button.
Note: Some of the data transmitted from the DM1000 to the sequence software may occa-
sionally drop out during Bulk Dump transmission. To avoid this, we recommend that you use
the included Studio Manager software to store DM1000 data to an external device.
