12 - MIDI The DM-24 can be used for control of MIDI devices, as well as being controlled by them. In the section on machine control, it is explained how the DM-24 can be used to control MIDI devices, using the PODs to transmit different common Control Change messages on a single channel ("MIDI controllers" on page 93) or using the faders to send the same Control Change message on up to 16 different MIDI channels ("MIDI faders" on page 93). Bulk dumps This provides a convenient way for you to store and recall the settings you make on the DM-24. Since most sequencer programs, etc. allow you to save such System Exclusive dumps on floppy disks or other portable media, you can easily carry the settings for a project (including all the automated mix moves) between different facilities equipped with DM-24s. In addition, if you have two DM-24 units side-byside, it is possible to use this facility to transfer settings from one unit to another. In each case, the MIDI OUT of the DM-24 must be connected to the MIDI IN of the remote unit, and the MIDI IN of the DM-24 to the MIDI OUT of the remote unit. Bulk transfer of data from the DM-24 Prepare the other MIDI device to receive System Exclusive bulk data. Select the data to be transferred from the DM-24. When the appropriate set of data to be dumped to the MIDI device has been selected, move the cursor to the on-screen BULK DUMP button, and press ENTER. In the section on Machine Control, it is also explained how the DM-24 can be set up to use or ignore certain MIDI messages, as well as other MIDI setup parameters ("General MIDI parameters" on page 84 and "MIDI filtering" on page 84). The DM-24 can also be controlled by means of MIDI messages, etc. as well as being able to save and load library settings, etc. to and from MIDI bulk storage devices, by using System Exclusive bulk dump messages. Enter the MIDI BULK SEND/RECEIVE screen by pressing MIDI/MC key with the SHIFT indicator lit. Then use soft key 3 to bring up this screen. It is possible to save the library memories for snapshots, dynamics processors (gates and expanders, and compressors), the EQ library entries and the two internal effector entries. These can be saved as ALL entries in that library, or individually). Automation data can also be stored in this way (individual banks or ALL). Other options are the Program Change table ("Program Change values" on page 84) and the Control Change tables ("Control Change messages to and from the DM-24" on page 96) stored together as CTRL/PGM Change Table. The Machine Control Mappings, the external control list and the location time memories ("Location memories" on page 85) can also be selected for MIDI dump storage (MC Map/EXT CTRL LIST/Locate Time). All system data can also be dumped in this way (System Data All). Last on the list is the ALL option, where all the above options-the contents of all libraries as well as the other data described above (ALL), all the library entries of all the libraries, (LIBRARY) or all the library entries of all the libraries together with the automation data (Library+Automation) can be selected for dumping. A popup appears, giving the progress as a percentage as the data is transferred to the remote bulk device. The dump process can be halted by pressing any of the cursor keys.
