5.8 MIDI Data Dump
This function lets you record on Megabeat Pro Hard Disk the System Exclusive
dumps of an external MIDI instrument connected to Megabeat Pro MIDI IN.
Every dump is recorded in a file that can be later transmitted to the desired
instrument, simply selecting the file (as you select a song), and then pressing
PLAY.
Moreover, the Dump files can be included in a group (for instance, as the first
file in a group) and transmitted before the songs in a group are played. This
function is very useful in live performances, to reset on the fly all the
instruments before playing the songs in a group.
To enable MIDI DATA DUMP function:
1. Recall UTILITY Menu with appropriate key.
2. Select MIDI DATA DUMP and press SELECT. On the display you will see:
MIDI DATA DUMP
WAITING FOR MIDI DATA…..
3. Enable System Exclusive transmission from external instrument.
If the transmission doesn’t starts in 5 seconds, Megabeat Pro exits from
the Dump waiting mode and cancels the operation.
4. If the transmission of System Exclusive messages begins, on the display you
will see:
MIDI DATA DUMP
RECEIVING MIDI DATA
5. When the messages transmission is finished, the page which lets you name
the file you just recorded is automatically recalled (SONGS RENAME
function).
NOTE: Once the Dump files are recorded on Hard Disk, they are treated like song
files. The files are displayed and inserted on the display in alphabetical order
