MIDI Dump Data
When a MIDI DUMP OUT is performed the entire contents of the console
memory is transmitted down the selected MIDI channel. This includes the current
console mute settings, mute groups, patches, safe settings, solo settings,
console modes, and console MIDI channel number. When a MIDI DUMP IN is
received the console memory is completely overwritten.
This is ideal when you want to archive settings and recall them at a later date, for
example a re-run of a previous mix. You can also use the dump facility to
program other GS3000 consoles.
MIDI Dump Out
Press the SHIFT + STORE switches.
The dump is started down the selected console MIDI channel. If MIDI has been
disabled (channel = OFF) then nothing will happen when dump is activated.
The display flashes dPo during the duration of the dump (around 15 seconds).
While dump is in progress the mute group and patch system is locked out.
However, the channel mutes may be operated in the normal way so that manual
operation may continue unaffected.
MIDI Dump In
The console responds automatically to the System Exclusive dump in message
formatted as above.
While the console is receiving dump in data the display flashes dPI (around 10
seconds).
While dump is in progress the mute group and patch system is locked out.
However, the channel mutes may be operated in the normal way so that live
operation may continue unaffected.
On completion the console restores normal operation with the new memory
settings in place.
Dump Errors
If the console or connected equipment fails to respond to a MIDI dump then
check that the MIDI is correctly enabled on each. Check that the cables are
correctly plugged. In the event of a data error being detected during a MIDI
dump out or in the display will show an error message code. Refer to the section
on TECHNICAL SUPPORT for an explanation of these.
