Basic Operation
MIDI SysEx Program Dumps
Programs and presets can also be transmitted and
received as MIDI SysEx data. Parameters that enable
MIDI SysEx dumps are found on Page 6 in Control
mode.
SysEx Bulk Dump
Slider 1 (SFN) selects a SysEx Bulk Dump function.
Slider 2 (SRC) is dependent on the SFN setting, but, in
general, it selects the source of the dump function
when required. The following SFN settings are available:
SETUP
BANK
ACTIVE
ALL INT
ALL CART
MIDI MAP
CONTROLS
Individual Program or Preset Dumps
The SETUP function will bulk dump a single program or
preset. When in this mode the SRCslider selects the
particular setup to dump. Moving the slider scrolls
through all of the available programs and registers
containing presets. After selecting a particular program
or preset, push and hold the STO button. While holding
STO, press REG. This will enable a dump of the
selected program or preset from either SFN or SRC
mode. The format of the setup bulk dump message is
described in Appendix A MIDI and the 480L.
Dumping Banks
The BANK function will bulk dump a whole bank of
programs or presets. The SRC slider selects from
among the program banks and all ten register banks
(five internal and five external cartridge banks).The
bank selected is then dumped by pushing STO and
REG as in individual setup dumps. A bank is dumped
as a contiguous group of ten programs or registers.
Each program or register within the bank, is dumped as
a separate SysEx message, using the same format as
that for individual dumps. When the dump is activated,
the LARC displays "DUMPING BANK." When the
dump is complete, the LARC displays "BANK
DUMPED."
Dump Active Algorithm(s)
The ACTIVE function dumps one or both of the active
algorithms and their current parameter values instead
of a register or preset. When the machine is in SINGLE
configuration, only Machine A can be dumped, otherwise
Machine A, Machine B, or both A and B can be
selected with the SRC slider. As with all dumps described
earlier, the dump is activated by the combination
STO/REG button push. The format of the dump
message is described in Appendix A MIDI and the
480L.
If the SRC slider is set to “MACHINE A+B” each
machine will be sent as an individual SysEx message,
just as though you selected “MACHINE A” and did a
dump, then repeated the process for “MACHINE B”.
When the dump operation is activated, the LARC
displays "DUMPING ACT A" for Machine A only. The
LARC displays "DUMPING ACT B" for Machine B only,
or "DUMPING A+B" when both machines are selected.
When each Machine is dumped, the LARC displays
"ACT A(or B) DUMPED"
Dump All Internal Registers
To dump all internal registers to MIDI set SFN to “ALL
INT”. In this mode the SRC slider is not required.The
“ALL INT” dumps register banks from 1-5 to MIDI. Each
register is dumped as a single SysEx message described
in Appendix A MIDI and the 480L..The presets
are dumped in order of appearance in the register
banks. As other functions, the dump action is initiated
by holding STO and pressing REG. Once the dump of
all internal registers is started, the LARC displays
"DUMPING INT." When the dump is completed, the
LARC displays "INT DUMPED."
Dump All Cartridge Registers
The dump all cartridge function is very similar to the
Dump All Internal Registers function with Banks 6-0
dumped rather than Banks 1-5. The LARC displays
"DUMPING CART." When the dump is completed the
LARC displays "CART DUMPED."
