Rocktron Blue Thunder - Manual (Page 54)

Operating the Blue Thunder
Play back the data stored on the sequencer. The Blue Thunder will display the data strings as
it is storing them. Each data string will appear with the word "LOADED". After all the user
data has been loaded, the Blue Thunder will display "LOAD COMPLETE". Do not play back
the data from the sequencer faster than it was loaded, as errors may occur (errors may also
occur if any knob is turned or any button is pressed before the message "LOAD COM-
PLETE" appears). Step 5
LOAD COMPLETE
RECEIVING BLUE THUNDER
If errors occur during transmission, the unit will display "RECEIVE ERROR" for transmission
errors and "XMEM ERROR" for internal hardware errors. Errors occurring in transmission
does not indicate that all of the received data is corrupted. Only the transmission string where
the error occurred is corrupted.
* When receiving a Bulk Load, it is important that the data loaded to the Blue
Thunder is not transmitted faster than it was originally dumped from the Blue
Thunder. If information is sent too fast to the Blue Thunder, an error will oc-
cur.
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 Blue Thunder at
the same rate as it was received from the Blue Thunder. The Blue Thunder can
receive a data dump at about 65Hz (or about 1 byte every 15 milliseconds).
