Chapter MIDI 13 Sending the AW2816's internal settings via MIDI (Bulk Dump) The AW2816 is able to convert the settings of the MIDI screen and the contents of the various libraries into MIDI data ("Bulk Data"), and transmit this from its MIDI OUT connector/TO HOST connector (Bulk Dump). By recording this bulk data on a MIDI sequencer or other external device, the internal settings of the AW2816 can be backed up on that device, or copied to another AW2816 unit. Here's how to record bulk data on a MIDI sequencer. 1 Connect the AW2816's MIDI IN connector to the MIDI OUT connector of the external device, and the AW2816's MIDI OUT/ THRU connector to the MIDI IN connector of the external device. (Alternatively, connect the AW2816's TO HOST connector to the serial port of your computer.) For details on connections and settings, refer to page 189 to 190. 2 Press the [MIDI] key ¡ [F5] key. The MIDI screen/Bulk Dump page will appear. 1 The button will be turned on, indicating that it has been selected for bulk dump. 4 If you selected one of the SCENE MEM.- REMOTE buttons, move the cursor to the setting area at the right of each button, and use the [DATA/JOG] dial to edit the setting. 1 CATEGORY Here you can select the type of settings that will be transmitted as bulk data. For details on the settings that correspond to each button, refer to page 281. 3 Move the cursor to the button corresponding to the bulk data you want to transmit, and press the [ENTER] key. Tip! If you move the cursor to the ALL button in the lower left of the display and press the [ENTER] key, the buttons of all categories will be turned on, and the settings for SCENE MEM.-REMOTE categories will be set to "ALL." Use the ALL button when you want to transmit data for all categories via bulk dump. 5 Set your MIDI sequencer to record-ready mode. Before you record bulk data on a MIDI sequencer, make sure that the MIDI Thru function (sometimes called "Patch Thru" or "MIDI Echo") of the sequencer is turned off. If this function is on, the bulk data transmitted from the AW2816 will be immediately returned to the AW2816, causing malfunctions. 212 Operation section
