Rocktron All Access - Manual (Page 69)

The SYSX program allows the user to perform a bulk dump or bulk load of
the entire All Access™ programmable memory, as well as create a system exclusive
MIDI string up to 30 bytes long for each preset to communicate device and
manufacturer specific information.
SYSX, Page 1 of 3 - Bulk Dump/Load
The first page of the SYSX program, Bulk Dump/Load, allows for the user
to perform a Bulk Dump or Load of the All Access™ programmable memory.
To access the SYSX program:
(Œ) To access SYSX, press the "2ND" button to activate the secondary button
functions.
() Press the "SYSX" button. The L.E.D. above the "SYSX" button will flash and the
All Access™ will display the first page of the SYSX program.
To perform a bulk dump or load:
(Ž) Use the "INC" and "DEC" switches directly below the current dump/load
status displayed to select whether a Bulk Dump or Bulk Load is to be
performed.
*If a Bulk Load is to be performed, the All Access™ must display this editing
page and "LOAD" must be selected for the All Access™ to receive a Bulk
Dump from another device.
() If a Bulk Dump is to be performed, press the "CTR STORE" button to initiate
the dump.

When receiving a Bulk Load, it is important that the data loaded to the
All Access™ is not transmitted faster than it was originally dumped
from the All Access™. If information is sent too fast to the All Access™,
a "Buffer Overflow" error will occur.
When dumping information from a data storage device, such as an
Alesis Data Disk, it is necessary to perform the dump in
sequence
mode rather than sysx mode. Sequence mode will dump the information
back to the All Access™ at the same speed as it was received from the
All Access™. The All Access™ can receive a data dump at about 65Hz
(or about 1 byte every 15 milliseconds).
