Operating the Xpression

Play back the data stored on the sequencer. The Xpression 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 Xpression 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 COMPLETE"
appears).

LOAD COMPLETE

RECEIVING XPRESSION

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 Xpression
is not transmitted faster than it was originally dumped from the Xpression. If
information is sent too fast to the Xpression, an error will occur.

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 Xpression at the
same rate as it was received from the Xpression. The Xpression can receive a
data dump at about 65Hz (or about 1 byte every 15 milliseconds).
