Figure 8 – MIDI control screen
To set a MIDI channel number, use the right knob, as prompted by the screen. This sets the
MIDI channel the z-CL6 will use for both its MIDI program change commands and for system
exclusive messages.
To save all 50 of the z-CL6’s presets, put your MIDI sequencer into record mode with the channel
set to the z-CL6’s MIDI channel. Press the button below the DUMP message on the screen. You
will see the preset counter on the left part of the z-CL6’s screen count backwards from 50 down to
01. This lets you know that the z-CL6 is sending its entire bank of presets, one at a time, to the
MIDI sequencer via MIDI system exclusive commands. When the system exclusive dump is
finished, the z-CL6 will return to the preset number that was displayed before the DUMP
command was executed.
To retrieve a collection of 50 presets from a MIDI sequencer, again make sure you have the z-
CL6’s MIDI channel number set to the same channel as the MIDI sequencer. Press the button
below the READ message and then begin to play the MIDI system exclusive stream from your
MIDI sequencer. The preset counter will again count backwards, letting you know that the z-CL6
is indeed receiving and decoding the system exclusive commands. When the z-CL6 has decoded
the last preset from the MIDI sequencer, it will jump to normal operating mode and will be ready
for either normal user input via the knobs and buttons or for MIDI program change commands.
To execute MIDI program change commands, simply make sure the MIDI sequencer is set to the
same MIDI channel as the z-CL6 and begin sending program change commands. The z-CL6 will
jump to the preset number indicated by the program change, with the display updated to show
the parameter changes. If an invalid program number is sent to the z-CL6, it will be ignored.
