Transmitting Parameter Settings Via Midi (Bulk Dump) - Yamaha 01V96i Reference Manual

Transmitting Parameter
Settings via MIDI (Bulk
Dump)
You can back up data stored in the 01V96i, such as libraries
and Scenes, to an external MIDI device by using MIDI Bulk
Dump. In this way, you can later restore previous 01V96i set-
tings by transmitting this MIDI data back to the 01V96i.
Note: Some of the data transmitted from the 01V96i to the
sequence software may occasionally drop out during Bulk Dump
transmission. To avoid this, we recommend that you use the Stu-
dio Manager software to store 01V96i data to an external device.
1.
Press the DISPLAY ACCESS [DIO/SETUP] but-
ton repeatedly until the DIO/Setup |
MIDI/Host page appears, then specify ports
for transmission and reception of MIDI mes-
sages (see page 101).
2.
Make connections using the ports selected in
Step 1 so that the 01V96i can transmit and
receive MIDI messages to and from the exter-
nal device.
3.
Press the DISPLAY ACCESS [MIDI] button,
then press the [F4] button.
The MIDI | Bulk page appears.

The page includes the following parameters:
1
CATEGORY section
This section enables you to select data for transmission
and reception.
2
REQUEST
Move the cursor to this button, then press [ENTER] to
transmit messages from the 01V96i that request a second
01V96i (connected to the first 01V96i) to transmit the
data specified in the CATEGORY section. This button is
used primarily when two 01V96is are connected in cas-
cade.

TRANSMIT
Move the cursor to this button, then press [ENTER] to
transmit data specified in the CATEGORY section to an
external MIDI device.
4
INTERVAL
This parameter specifies the interval between data pack-
ets during bulk transmission in 50 millisecond steps. If
the external device drops part of the bulk data, increase
this parameter value.
4.
In the CATEGORY section, move the cursor to
the button of the data type you want to trans-
mit, then press [ENTER].
The following options are available:
• ALL
This button selects all data available for bulk dump. When
this button is turned on, all other buttons in this section
are turned off.
• SCENEMEM
This button selects Scene memories. You can select
Scenes you wish to transmit in the parameter box next to
the button.
• LIBRARY
This button selects libraries. You can select the type of
library in the TYPE parameter box (next to the button),
then specify the library number in the parameter box on
the right.
• BANK
3 2
This parameter enables you to select the User Defined
Key banks (KEYS UDEF), User Defined Remote Layer
banks (RMT UDEF), or User Assignable Layer banks
(USR LAYER) for bulk dump. You can select one of these
three types in the parameter box next to the button, and
select the banks in the parameter box on the right.
• SETUPMEM
This button selects the 01V96i setup data (i.e., system set-
tings).
• PGM TABLE
This button selects the MIDI | Pgm Asgn page settings.
• CTL TABLE
This button selects the MIDI | Ctl Asgn page settings.
4
• PLUG-IN
This button selects the settings of an optional card
installed in the slot.
Note: Data selected by the SETUPMEM button includes
MIDI transmission and reception port settings and message
settings. After you store to an external device bulk dump data
that has its reception disabled, if the 01V96i later starts to
receive this particular data, 01V96i bulk dump reception will
be turned off immediately, and the 01V96i will be unable to
receive subsequent data. Therefore, before you store the data
selected by the SETUPMEM button using Bulk Dump, be
sure to enable bulk data transmission and reception.
