Making system settings
Saving user mode settings on your computer—Dump
You can save user mode settings on your computer or sequencer. This provides a
convenient way to back up the settings you register to
[4] (USR 1) or [5] (USR 2) , or
allows you to prepare several sets of user mode settings.
As an example, here’s how to save [4] (USR 1) settings.
1. Hold down [SYSTEM] and press [4] (USR 1).
[SYSTEM] and [4] (USR 1) will light, and user mode 1 will be selected.
2. Press [8] (DUMP/LD).
[8] (DUMP/LD) will light, and the SI-24 will be ready to transmit data.
3. Operate your computer or external device so that it is ready to receive data.
4. Press [8] (DUMP/LD) once again.
[8] (DUMP/LD) will blink and the PLAY indicator will light, while the SI-24 is
transmitting MIDI messages.
When transmission is completed, [8] (DUMP/LD) and PLAY indicator will go dark.
Loading user mode settings that you saved on your computer—Load
Here’s how user mode settings you saved on your computer or sequencer can be
loaded back into the SI-24.
As an example, we will describe the procedure for loading the saved settings into
[4] (USR 1) .
1. Hold down [SYSTEM], and press [4] (USR 1).
[SYSTEM] and [4] (USR 1) will light, and you will switch to User Mode 1.
2. Press [8] (DUMP/LD).
[8] (DUMP/LD) will light, and the SI-24 will be ready to receive data.
3. Operate your computer or other external device to make it transmit previously-
saved User mode MIDI messages.
The PLAY indicator and REC indicator will light while the SI-24 is receiving the
MIDI message.
When reception is completed, [8] (DUMP/LD) , the PLAY indicator , and REC
indicator will go dark.
Whether the SI-24 transmits the
MIDI message from R-BUS or
from MIDI OUT will depend on
the MIDI control mode setting.
For details, refer to “Using the
MIDI connectors to transmit/
receive control data—MIDI
Control Mode” (p. 29).
Whether the SI-24 receives the
MIDI message from R-BUS or
from MIDI IN will depend on
the MIDI control mode setting.
For details, refer to “Using the
MIDI connectors to transmit/
receive control data—MIDI
Control Mode” (p. 29).
