PCPORT
This mode allows the RS-232 port on the rear of the Minidrive to be used to perform MIDI
systems exclusive dumps and to control other Minidrives.
MIDI Systems Exclusive Dump
This Utility is used to transfer Program information between
FDS-334T/336T units of the same model as well as to any
MIDI Sysex(systems exclusive) capable sequencer or compu-
ter. Attach a MIDI cable from the MIDI out of the sending
unit to the MIDI in of the receiving unit.
Pressing the > key on the sending unit will display the prompt screen below.
Sending Unit MIDI Dump screen
A MIDI sysex message is now sent out that prompts the receiving unit that an incoming MIDI
dump will occur. A receiving FDS-334T/FDS-336T unit should display a message asking to
allow an incoming dump.
If you don’t want the receiving unit to have its memories overwritten then press the < key on the
receiving unit to change the “Allow Dump?” message to “No.” The receiving unit will return to
normal operation and ignore any incoming Program information.
Pressing Up/Down at any time will return the sending unit to the Utilities mode.
Pressing STORE/ENTER on the sending unit performs the dump.
The sending unit should now display the following screen.
If communication is successful then a progress percentage will be shown on the sending unit.
When this reaches 100% the sending unit will return to the Midi Dump default screen and the
MIDI dump is complete.
NOTE: A system dump received by a different model Minidrive can wipe all the memory
information from that unit. If you have several different models of Minidrive linked together and
you wish to perform sysex dumps between them make sure that all units that should not receive
the dump information are either switched off or set to another MIDI channel.
