Importing the settings of
a
previous FR- 3 model
This function allows you to load MIDI bulk data of an
older FR-3 or FR-3b V-Accordion model from a USB
memory's root directory.
CAREFUL! The settings loaded with the "OLd" function
will overwrite all of the FR-3x's internal settings.
Preparing the file
Here is what you need to do with the FR-3 :
[NOTE)
Ifyou already have a backup file of the FR-3'ssettings you are
interested in, you only need to make sure that the file with
those set tings was saved as a Standard MIDI File and that its
name and extension conform to the requirements (three dig-
its + ".mid" extension).
• Connect the legacy FR-3 to yo ur computer or your
computer's MIDI interface.
• Use a sequencer program and the FR-3's Bul k Dump
func tion ("dMP") to transmit its settings to the com-
puter.
See the FR-3's owners manual and the documenta-
tion of your sequencer program for details.
• Save the resulting seq uence as a Standard MIDI File
(with the ".mid" extension).
[NOTE)
The file's name may on ly consist of three digits anc! th e
ex tension ("OO l .mid", for exam ple).
• Remove the USB memory from your computer and
connect it to the FR-3x (see "Connecting all op tional
USB memory" on p. 34).
