MIDI Backup
With a MIDI interface and a sysex application, you can back up your M13 Scenes to
computer. It makes it easy to build a custom Scenes library, or exchange Scenes with
others. To backup your Scenes, or to dump the current Scene, follow these steps:
• Turn Knob 3 to set your MIDI Channel from Ch. 1-16 or Omni (default is Ch. 1).
• Turn the Model Select Knob to select “Dump All?” (to back up all 4 Scene Folders),
“Dump Fldr?” (to back up your current Scene Folder), or “Dump Scne?” (to back up
the current Scene in its current state).
• With your computer set up to record sysex, press down the Model Select knob.
The M13 will transmit the sysex file to your computer, creating a backup of your Scenes
that you can store and recall at any time.
To load Scenes into your M13, simply transmit the sysex file from your computer into the
M13 via MIDI. This will immediately load the Scenes into the M13’s memory.
Global Noise Gate
Knobs 1 and 4 in the center of LCD 4 control the Global Noise Gate. When activated,
the Gate is in effect full time, for all your FX.
Knob 1 turns on the Gate and sets the Gate Threshold. Lower values make the Gate kick
in at quieter levels, higher values make it kick in at louder levels.
Knob 4 sets the Gate Decay. Higher levels result in a longer transition from non-gated to
gated audio.
Displays
To adjust the contrast of the LCD displays, use Knob 5. Set it to a value that looks good
to you. Settings from 30-50% usually work well.
When you’ve set all the M13’s Global parameters to your liking, press any switch to exit
Setup mode. As mentioned previously, the next time you power up your M13, all your
Global settings will be recalled.
Dim
In v2.0 we’ve added a new feature that allows you to turn off the Dim setting for FX that are
not active. With Dim set to OFF, only the active FX LEDs will be lit. All other LEDs will
be off, making it easy to see which FX are currently ON.
