SysEx Channel and MIDI Merge
An easy way to think of the System Exclusive Device Channel option is to separate System Exclusive data from normal MIDI data. Each type of
data has its own group of 16 channels upon which data can be transmitted. This feature will also allow individual remote control of more
than one RP21D with SysEx commands.
From the Factory and in most situations, the SysEx channel is set at Channel 1.
Normal MIDI data, like Program Changes, MIDI Volume, Modulation, etc. is transmitted and received on the MIDI channel designated by the
setting of MIDI RECEIVE CHANNEL. SysEx data, on the other hand, is transmitted and received on the SysEx channel designated by the setting
of SYSEX DEVICE CHANNEL.
This setup frees up your regular MIDI channels for other control options, and gives you the flexibility to request SysEx data from only the
devices you want in your setup, whether they share the same MIDI channel or not.
MIDI Merging allows incoming MIDI data to be Merged with any MIDI data generated by your RP21D before being sent to the MIDI
Out/Thru port.
To change the SysEx Device Channel number, or turn the MIDI Merge function on or off, do the following:
1. Press the Utility button once. Use the Next or Previous Page buttons until yo reach page 6. The display reads:
2. The number two icon is indicating that you must press the number two button in order to access the MIDI SysEx Channel. You can then
rotate the Data Wheel to select the SysEx Channel.
3. The number four icon is indicating that you must press the number four button in order to access the on/off parameter for the MIDI
Merge function. You can then rotate the Data Wheel to select between on or off for the MIDI Merge.
SysEx Dump
Bulk Dump : This option allows you to dump all resident Programs in memory to an external recording device, like a patch librarian,
computer, or sequencer for backup, storage, or organization. This option dumps all Programs simultaneously. It does not send any RP21D
Valve system information, such as SysEx Device channel or Programs maps.
System Dump
: This is the option to use for dumping system data to an external MIDI or SysEx recording device. All the item settings in the
Utility menu are sent using this option. Programs are not included in this dump.
