Dumping (Backing-up) Presets and System Settings

The currently loaded effect, your stored Presets and your system settings can be dumped to a

MIDI device or to a computer using the MIDI’s SysEx facility. SysEx dump is a MIDI System

Exclusive Message that can be sent from PitchFactor and recorded by a MIDI sequencer or

computer. PitchFactor’s Presets and System Settings can then be restored at a later time. This

is a useful way to backup saved settings or to reconfigure the unit as it was on your previous

project. The process takes a few seconds.

To Dump Presets &/or System Settings:

1) Press and hold the Encoder and Right Footswitch simultaneously for a few

seconds to enter System Mode. Release the Encoder.

2) Turn the Encoder until [MIDI] is displayed.

3) Momentarily press the Encoder.

4) Turn the Encoder until [DUMP] is displayed.

5) Momentarily press the Encoder.

6) Turn the Encoder to select [ALL], [CURRENT], [PRESETS] or [SYSTEM].

7) Wait until dump is complete.

8) Press and hold the Encoder and Right Footswitch simultaneously for a few

seconds to exit System Mode.

Note: If [CURRENT] is selected only the currently loaded Preset is dumped. If [PRESETS] is

selected, all 100 stored Presets are dumped. If ALL is selected all Presets and System settings

are dumped. If SYSTEM is selected, only System settings are dumped.

Restoring Presets and System Settings

Presets and System settings are restored via MIDI’s SysEx facility. PitchFactor must be set to

the desired SysEx ID number (from 1 to 16).

To set the MIDI SysEx ID number (factory default is 1):

1) Press and hold the Encoder and Right Footswitch simultaneously for a few

seconds to enter System Mode. Release the Encoder.

2) Turn the Encoder until [MIDI] is displayed.

3) Momentarily press the Encoder.

4) Turn the Encoder until [SYS ID] is displayed.

5) Momentarily press the Encoder.

6) Turn the Encoder to choose SysEx ID from [1] to [16].

7) Press and hold the Encoder and Right Footswitch simultaneously for a few

seconds to exit System Mode.
