Controller Dump; Panic Function; Special Features - Waldorf Pulse User Manual

This is how you prepare the Pulse for receiving system exclusive data:
• Check out the parameter Device ID. Data transmission will only be executed
successfully if the receiver and sender setting coincide.
• Make sure none of the Pulse's programs are in Edit mode. All edits that were not
stored prior to the dump will be irretrievably lost!
• Activate the Dump command at the sender device.
• The Pulse will now receive data and store these in its memory.
Caution:
The next step depends on the type of dump you are dealing with:
• If you have executed a program dump, than the incoming program is in Edit mode.
Use the Store command to save the program in the memory location of your
choice.
• All data are stored directly in the appropriate memory locations for a bulk dump
and a global parameter dump. You are not required to activate a separate Store
command.
When the Pulse receives a Sysex dump with the Device ID 127, it automatically
loads this data to its memory regardless of the Device ID the Pulse happens to be set
to.
Device ID 127 is a so-called "Broadcast" ID that addresses all connected Pulses.
A checksum of 127 is ignored. In this case, the dump is always accepted as valid.
The Pulse can receive from other devices, but it cannot send a Broadcast ID to other
devices. This function is limited to special computer software.

9.6 Controller Dump

The Pulse features a special dump format that allows you to transmit all parameter values as
Control Change messages. The Controller number and the Controller value of each sound
parameter are sent via the MIDI Out port. This function is designed for pre-initializing
editor software, etc. The dump can be activated in two ways:
• From the front panel. Please refer to paragraph "Sending System Exclusive Data" for
further information.
• Via MIDI Dump Request. See Appendix for details.

9.7 Panic Function

The Panic function sends and executes an "All Notes Off" command. It is used to terminate
stuck notes. To activate this function, simply press the scroll key
Mode key

9.8 Special Features
